remained there until this even
ing when he was discovered by
some one. He finally came out
and then went back and in lit
tie while it was discovered that
he had cut his throat with
pocket knife inhicting huge
gashes on each side of his throat.
On one side the jngular vein was
entirely severed. He was at
once removed to DIR. Hunhicutt's
office where his wounds we're
dressed and the doctor says he
will probably recover. He is d
brother-in-1aW to Mr.. Edwards,
