DEJECTEDPRISONE Err
Attempts Suicide by Hanging at
Bridgeport Lock Up

About o'clock yesterday evening
officer Sol Douds, of Bridgeport, ar
rested William Travis, aged about %
years, at Aetnaville, and placed him in
the lookup. Travis had been drinking
hard for the past three days and was
making himself a nuisance about the
Aetna Standard mill, where he recent
ly lost his job as catcher on one of the
sheet mills. The officer had used every
means to persuade the young man to
leave the mill and go about his bust
ness, but at last was compelled to take
him into custody. After being incar-
cerated Travis amused himself with
singing and carrying on in lively
fashion. Little attention was paid to
him until about half-past seven O'Clock.
when Councilman w. H. Riley walked
into the lookup and found the prisoner
hanging in his cell. He was then gasp
ing for breath and Councilman Chris.
Heller, of Aetnaville, who was also
present, cut the fellow down. Travis
had made rope OF his suspenders, and
tying one end about his neck and at
taching the other to the roo. of his cell
swung his weight upon it. His feet
barely touch the floor. and the wouid-be
suicide was succumbing by slow strang-
ulation. When resussitated Travis
gave as a reason fer his strange action
that he was suffering remorse for the
disgrace which would be occasioned his
mother, who resides at Moundsville.
when she should hear of his dehauch
and subsequent arrest.
