j. f. Ferris, a machinist, whose home
is in Butte, attempted to commit sui
eide at Pipestone Springs this forenoon
by cutting his throat with razor, and
the physicians who are attending him
think his recovery is doubtful.
Little is known about Ferris at Pipe
stone. He arrived there last Friday,
and yesterday Manager Burkett of the
hotel noticed that the man was acting
strangely. He was not drinking, but ap-
peared to be mentally unbalanced. This
forenoon about 10 o'clock Ferris went to
the barber shop in the hotel, secured a
razor and slashed the blade across his
throat. producing a cash that extended
from ear to ear. The Springs physician
found the man and at once went to work
on him. Another doctor was called to
assist him, and Manager Burkett did
everything he could to alleviate the suf.
fering of the self-injured man. Late
this afternoon the physicians gave it as
their opinion that the man would prob-
ably not live.
