lished a graphic account Of an unfor- tunate man who attempted suicide at Bowie in a tragic manner by throwing himself under the wheels of ths passen- ger coach and miracuously escaped death by being brushed aside by the brakebeam underneath. Today the un- fcrtunaie man was brought to Tomb stone and will be examined as to his sanity. The prisoner carries the hallu- cination that his daughter is lost and his mission is to find her.
