A young woman known in the disrepu-
table part of the city as Fay" Clifton fell
or jumped from the fourth story of the
house in which she lives about 9 o'clock
last night, ard escaped with her Iifs. Some

RESULTS FATALLY.
Veteran O1eson Dies of Self-Indfcted
Wounds.

Knud oleson, the soldier who attempted
suicide about a month ago by shooting him
self in the head, as published in The Star
at the time, died at Providence Hospital
Sunday night. His body was buried at Ar
lington this morning. The deceased was
ffty-thres years old and a native of Nor
way. He served in the army during the late
war and was pensioned. During the past
nine years he lived in this city.
AT the time he shot himself he was living
at 120 Maryland avenue southwest. He
had frequently threatened to end his life.
and these threats. it is said, were prompted
by the receipt of some sad news in a lettsr
from his sister in Norway.
The theory advanced by some that a
blank cartridge had been used by Oleson,
based upon the fact that those remaining
in thu weapon were blanks, was found to
be incorrect, the hospital physicians dis
covering that the bullet had entered his
head. 1t was a matter of surprise that he
was kept alive SO long. The deceased left
several hundred dollars.

Disease, he said may arise in a school

of an epidemic.
Ordinary Precautions.
