John Harter Attempts Suicide at His
Far Near WalIa WaIIa.
John IIarter, we'll known farmer,
residing about two miles east OF Walla
Walla, attempted self-destruotion by
swallowing three ounces of carbolic acid,
With the result that he now lies at his
home suffering the most excruciating
agony.
Harter, who had been arrested for
horse stealing, OF which charge, however,
he was acquitted, is an habitual drunkard,
and for the past two or three weeks has
given his appetite for strong drink full
scope. II was this fact which led TO bis
being arrested, he having borrowed the
horse to ride to town, and after reaching
the city became intoxicated and forget
where he had left the animal.
He returned to his home after having
been on somewhat elongated spree and
acted in rhoroee and detected manner.
His wife raid no attention to his mood
and it was hot until after he had drank
the poison that she suspected that any
thing Other than the aiter-efects OF
drunk, was the matter with her husband.
AS coon, however, as she discovered what
he had done che summoned assietance
and dispatched one of the neighbors for
medical aid.
When the physician arrived Harter
was found TO be in terrible condition,
his throat and the inner lining OF the
stomach being burned in frightful
manner by the action of the acid. Anti
dotes were administered and everything
known to medical skill was used in an
attempt to prevent the further action of
the poison. By midnight bis condition
had slightly improved, although it is
hardly possible he can recover.

In relation to the rumored strike OF

reported in Pendieton morning paper,
officials at Walla Walla we're interviewed
by Union representative. One Of them
said;
"fhe statement is proved false by the
fact that the road has never had In it's

Only a few Of these quit 60 far and
nothing serious is anticipated"
By another the following statement

line expects no demora,izing Yesulte.
The Pendletcn newspapers are standing
in against the W. &. O. R. R. on account
OF little difficulty which was had with
them at the time the line was first ex-
tended into that city, aud they would do
anything in their POKER to injure the

The last statement is certsinly unjust
to the Pendleton press. The East Ore.

has no knoxledge Of any ''sisnd in" on
