DESPERATE ATTEMPT
TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Was Made by MRS. John Dennis, Who
Lives a st. Ciairsyiiic Junction.


Was Made by MRS. John Dennis, Who
Lives ut st. Cinirsviiie Junction.
The Motive.
Mrs. John Dennis, who lives with her
husband at st. Clairsvtlle Junction at
tempted to commit suicide yesterday
forenoon by taking large doses OF Gre
osote, cocaine and match heads.
The only reason that death did not
result at once was that so large "a
quantity had been taken. As soon as
Ii was found what she had done medi-
cal. aid was summoned and the awful
agonies she suffered were relieved az
much as possible.
No direct cause is known for the rash
act. So far as could be learned, she
and her husband had had no trouble.
For several months the woman has been
subject to fits OF melancholy and would
be Respondent for weeks at a time. Her
health has been very poor and her ply
stefan told her some time since that
she had consumption and could only
Hive a few months This may have
been the cause of her attempt at self
destruction.
She was still alive and suffering aw-
full agonies late last night. The ply
sicans state that she might live sew
eral days, but that eventually the pois-
ons would destroy the membranes OF
the throat and stomach. Mr.. Dennis
Is miner and has been married three
times.

Yesterday some excitement and a
great demand for east-off railroad ties
was created In Benwood by the re-
markahle find of David Brandon, more
Familiarity known as Brownie" Bran
den had been working all morning at
point below town. known as the will
lows hopping up old ties along the
railroad for kindling wood. About the
middle part of the morning he drew
out an old, weather beaten rail which
was split open at one end as a result
of exposure to the weather. Hoping to
profit by and tighten his physical ex-
ertion by cleaving the crosstie along
this split, he struck IL several sharp
blows with the axe. II split open and
from the old crack futtered small
piece of paper.
Brandon picked up tho little
crumpled piece of paper and unfolded
It. His surprise may be imagined
when, on completing this. he found q
one hundred dollar bin.
On others hearing of his good luck.
there was decided demand for old
crossties. but none reported having as
remarkable luck.
Many were the surmises as to how
the money came to be in the crack. but
none were more plausible than that
offered by mill worker. He stated
that he believed II to be one of the
thirteen one hundred dollar bills from
the roll of money stolen from George
Slovedora last Sunday, and that the
thief had selected this as a secure hid
ing place. If this Is correct, then the
remaining 81 800 may be in similar hid
ing places. One thing is sure, however,
that is that Branden has 500. and 1t
Ia also certain that the original owner,
who ever he may be, will have hard
| time proving his claim.
