AN ATTEMPT At SUICIDE
Mrs. Bourassa Driven to Desper-
alton by Her Husband.
TRIED TO KILL HERSELF
It Is Said That Another Woman Is
Mixed Up in the Trouble-He Has
Deserted Her. Leaving Her
Without Means.

An attempt at suicide which happened
several days ago. was brought to the
attention of the police last evening
when young woman called at the
police station and asked if something
could not be done to force Frank Bou-
rassa, a miner employed at the West
Colusa mine, and who lives at All East
Park street, to support his wife. When
asked the trouble between the husband
and wife the circumstances of the
attempt at suicide came out
From the story of the young woman.
1t seems that another woman is at the
bottom of the trouble over whom Bou-
rassa and his wife had had difficulties
several times. One night last week
Bourassa went home drunk Words
ensued and the wife, exasperated 10
desperation, tried to kill herself with a
gun she had in her possession. She
fired two shots. one of which took effect
in the left arm and the other missed
entirely. After the shooting the hus-
band left the house and his wife has
not seen him since. The neighbors,
hearing the shots, rushed in and found
the woman lying on the floor. evidently
thinking she had wounded herself much
more seriously than she had. She was
picked up and put TO bed and doctor
summoned TO attend her.
Before leaving the house Bourassa
removed all his valuables and the next
day went to the stores where they had
been trading and told the merchants he
would not be responsible for any fur
Their debts contracted by his wife. AS
result. and as Bourassa left her no
money, she was in destitute circum-
stances and has since lived on the
charity of the neighbors.
Mrs. Bourassas condition became
worse yesterday, when the physician
attending her informed her he would
make no charge for treating her, but
that she would have to raise the money
for the medicine used. The young wo-
man who reported the matter To the
police wanted Bourassa arrested and
kept in jail until he consented to sup
port his wife. but was informed such a
thing could not be done, and that the
police were powerless in the matter.
She was directed to make complaint to
the county attorneys office, which will
be done to-day.
