HOW THEY WORKED
To Keep Holmberg From Shutting
OFF the MORTAL Coil


Pennington, May 24.-Albert Holm
berg, the love-lorn young man who
yesterday sought surcease of earthly
sorrow by drinking an ounce of laud-
anum and living quietly down to sleep
himself into that other better world
where the w-ileS Of tickle maidens bring
not anguish to the breast, was so far
recovered from the effects of his rash
act this morning that he was taken to
the home of his parents in Salt Lake
on the 10 o'clock train. It was a close
call that Holmberg had, and if Mrs.
Hayes, proprietress of the hotel where
he attempted the deed, had not dis
coz cred him just at the time she did
his purpose would have been accom-
pllshed and he would have escaped the
sorrows of a Tilted lover. AS it was,
DR.. Gleason of Kaysville had to resort
TO hyperdermic injections of a power
full drug to keep up heart action, and
Holmberg was kept stirring all night
so that he should not relapse into I'M
consciousness, which would have
meant death. The young man ard his
attendants were very much fatigued
this morning, but Holmberg was alive,
contrary TO expectations, and with good
carC viii survive.
Very early this morning the aged
parents Of the unfortunate young man
came up from Salt Lake. They were
much wrought up over the affair. The
Holmbergs arc said to be very highly
respected people. Their son has not, il
seems, been living with them for some
time having roamed more or less over
Utah and Idaho. He has stayed at Mil
Creek with his brother-in-law for some
time and While there met Miss Maud
North. 1t is presumed that the old
story of love, courtship, engagement
was re-enacted, followed by the equal
ly familiar tale of a lovers quarrel and
breaking off, the romantic climax
being reached when the respondent
youth attempted suicide. He is % years
of age and is said to have borne q good
character.
