HENRY THEILE, OF BOGGS' Run,
ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT CUI-
eide LAST NIGHT.
HE WAS FOUND SUSPENDED
BY Rope i'm "a Coal House Near His
Residence-Was in Il Dying Con-
dition When DiscOvered-PrOb-
able Cause for the Attempt-In IL
Critical Condition at "a Late Hour.

Henry Theile, an employe of the
effort to commit suicide late last night
by hanging himself at his home in
Pearl Town, a little settlement on
Boggs run, a short distance east of
Benwood. When he was discovered
life was nearly extinct, and at late
hour last night he was still in cri-
teal condition.
Theile, who is unmarried, recently
purchased a place out the run, and has
since been living there with his mother
and sister. 1t is learned that he has
been out of employment since the
Riverside closed down two or three
months ago, and as he has occasionally
lamented the fact it is thought by his
relatives that his worrying probably
led him to attempt TO end his life.
About fifteen minutes to twelve O'Clock
last night Theil's mother went to the
coal house near the residence on an
errand and there found him hanging
To one of the rafters by means of a
rope tied around his neck. 1t had been
made by twisting three pieces OF

mediately summoned assistance and the
man was taken down. He was I'M
conscious and had apparently been
hanging for some time. DR.. ]. \. AL
ley was at once summoned nd medical
aid was rendered as quickly as pos
sible. At three O'Clock this morning
he was still unconscious and the at
tending physician stated that while his
condition was quite serious, there were
slight hopes for his recovery.
The coal house in which Theile was
found is built on a hill and he sus-
pended himself so that his toes touch
ed the ground. The rope which he
used was rather long and r. is thought
that this fact is all that prevented him
from accomplishing the rash deed
Theile is twenty-ssYen years old and
is well known in the. industrial town

considered under the practice of the
court. The answer recites the fact that
a large proportion of passengers trav-
cling over he Wheeling road go to
MOundsville, and are carried unneces-
sa1lly around several blocks in Ben
wood, and twice across the B. & o.
tracks. Marshall street is the only pub
lie highway north and south between
Fourth and Ninth streets. 1t has been
closed, and in recent years only the
northern portion opened The answer
then recites the unsuccessful effort to
get the consent of the Benwood COun-
ell to the proposed change, and con-
tinuing, states it as the purpose OF the
railway company to construct the later
al branch referred to above, without
necessarily using any portion OF Mar
shall street.
The situation may be briefly summed
up in few words, as follows:
The Wheeling Railway Company is
enjoined from using Marshall street to
make a connection with a lateral
branch road, or to use said street be-
tween Fourth and Eighth for the tracks
of said lateral branch.
The Wheeling Railway Company con-
tends that it never contemplated doing
either of these things without the con-
sent of BenWood Council.
The Wheeling Railway Company will
construct a lateral branch read on its
own property, acquired by purchase,
east of Marshall street between Fourth
and Eighth. transferring through pass
engers at both terminii if necessary.
