MORPHINE FOR TWO
Was Willard Sharum's Plan
for Ending His Woes.
WIFE WASN'T WILLING
Called the Doctors, and Will
lard Must Still Live on.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 3.-The State Capt.
tai has the following account of the at
tempted suicide of willard Sharum:
Yesterday. shortly after noon, the city
was startled by the report that Willard
Sharum. a prominent young business
man and cotton dealer, had attempted to
commit suicide and had given his unsus-
pecting young wife part of the deadly
draught, with the design of taking her
with him into the unknown world. Young
sharum, who lives at III East Cleveland
avenue, went at noon to his dinner and
took a quart bottle of beer with him
He drew the cork and invited his wife to
help him drink it. After they had fin
ished the bottle, he coolly informed her
that I'VE have just drank forty grains OF
morphine, and we will soon be out of our
trouble" Mrs. Sharum was fearfully
frightened and ran to the phone and tele-
phoned to a doctor and also to others to
come at once. She began to feel the ef-
fects of the fatal drug. and her husband
and was apparently waiting for death.
Mr.. Sharum's mother, who lives next
door, was notified and came and tried to
rouse him, but he refused to help. Then
Drs.. Cotteral, r. v. Smith and Barker.
came and began a battle for the life of
the couple. Apomosphine was admins
tered, hypodermically, and the usual
AfF aAr
of the powerful drug, and finally at a
late hour last night the doctors had both
their patients out of danger. Young
Sharum has been respondent for some
time over causes known only to himself
and about a week ago his father was
taken dangerously Ill. and is now lying
at his home in critical condition. This
fact, coupled with others, seems to, have
weighed the young man down and he
at length, thought his life was not worth
living and tried to go beyond, and also
tried to take his wife with him. Young
Sharum has been married about foul
years and is the father Of two beautiful
little girls. HIS wife was a sister OF Elk
