The removal from office of Dr. Raub, chief medical examiner or referee of the pension office. is regarded by The Chat tanooga Times as a triumph for the pen sion sharks. who found him block in the way of their schemes. just as they found Commissioner Evans, and The Times adds:
 The pension sharks and their beggariy tools, surviving convalescent camp buns and camp followers, do not want such men in authority over the pension app:c- priaton.
 That is severe, and probably true, and The Times is very decidedly of the opin- ion that the new commissioner. Ware. Is a pllant tool of the class it scores above.

TRIES TO SMUeeLE LETTER.
County Prisoner Makes Vain Attempt
to Mail Letter.

The efforts Of a county prisoner to
smuggle a letter into a mail box yes
terday morning while on his way to
court was the occasion Of a lively scene
in the vicinity of the police station.
The prisoner was Harry Stackpole,
alias Pool, who is accused Of holding un
the inmates OF Or. Higgins house a
short time ago. Pool was being taken
to the city court for a hearing on one
OF the charges against him, and was
accompanied by a deputy. AS they
passed a mail box near the court Pool
suddenly sidestepped and made an ef-
fort to quickly slip q letter into the
box. The deputy spied him and made
a grab for his arm in time to prevent
the letter getting inside the box.
Rather than let the officer have the
letter. Pool began to cram il into his
mouth. Here he again failed, for the
officer rescued the chewed paper and
pOcketed it himself.
The letter was later opened and ex-
amined and found to be to a woman
relative in st. Joseph. No. There was
nothing important in the missive. but
il indicated from its tone that the
writer had q brother serving time in
some Jail.
Prisoners are not allowed to send let
ters out Of the county jail without first
having them read by the jailer, and
they resort to many kinds OF tricks to
smuggle letters out. Only a short time
ago one Of the prisoners was successful
in an attempt To smuggie a letter into a
mail box. an$ POOLS attempt is looked
upon as a probable result Of the success
Of his fellow prisoner.

after their long vigil. They almost unan-
imOusly say that the winter has been one
Of the hardest on the flOcks known for
some years. There was a scarcity of feed
during the earlier part Of the season.
from which heavy losses resulted. and
during March there was a continual high
wind which was very cold and which 0id

that the losses OF all the sheen which
wintered on the west deserts viii amount
70 fully % per cent Of the entire number
there Others place the percentage a little
lower. and say 1t will be about IS per cent
loss. This is a heavy loss, though The
sheep are crOwding into this county now
by the thousands. as the owners wish to
get them onto the Landing grounds Is
soon as possible. Fears are entertained
that there viii be losses during tho
Landing period, as the snow on the noun
tains lays so low that there is no place
for the herds To get above the cultivated
and fenced areas.

TOOK DOSE OF POISON.
Woman Tries to End Her Life by
Swallowing Carbolic Acid.


Desperate from the effects of a long
attack Of melancholy. Fife DOwd, who
lives over the saloon at 125 South State
street. made an attempt at suicide last
night by swallowing the contents Of a
three-dram bottle OF carboliC acid. She
was finally revived, however, and is
now out of danger.
The woman had been an occupant Of
the place for some time. and had spent
the last twelve years Of her life in this
city. She originally came from Lehi.
where she was born. She had lived In
the various resorts of this city. and
had finally drifted to the place on State
street She had shown evidences Of
acute melanchOlia for weeks, but no
thought had ever been entertained that
she would attempt self-destructlon.
she spent the greater part Of the
afternoon in the wine room of the sa-
loon, and was with a companion from
her native city Of Lehl. She left the
man abruptly, saying that she was
feeling H.
Half an hour later she called to the
man, and. rushing into the room. he
found the woman lying on her bed in
intense agony. Asking the cause Of her
trouble. she showed him an empty
bottle. which told the story of her at
tempt at self-destructiou. DR.. Bene-
dict was hastily summoned, and. with
the aid OF a stomach pump. the drug
was removed. She rallied at once. and
Is now beyond the point of danger.
No cause other than of melancholy
can be assigned for her rash deed. and
her friends claim that she had been
IN the best or spirits until recently. IL
IS believed by many who were acquaint-
ca with the woman that she and her
male companion Of yesterday after
noon quarreled, and that in a At Of
either Jealousy OF anger. she attempted
u end her troubles by death.

Runaway Team Hurts a Boy on
Main Street.

Main street was the scene Of a run
away yesterday. afternoon. during
which wreckage was strewn for nearly
a block. and several persons narrowly
escaped serious injury. boy was
hurt, but not seriously
The cause Of all the damage was a
delivery wagon and team belonging TO
the New York & Utah Paper COM
pany. The animals became frightened
while standing near Main and South
Temple streets. Without warning they
dashed down the street at breakneck
speed. At the crossing OF Main and
First South a woman who was cross
ing the street came near being run
over, but she was snatched out Of the
way by a bystander. The excited team.
continuing its mad career down the
street, dashed into a frail cart belong
ing to OrsOn Houghton. a mail car
r:er. Mr.. HOughton's little boy was
on the seat, and he was thrown to the
pavement, severely injuring his head.
He was picked up by pedestrians and
carried into the 4. c. NJ. l. drug store,
where his injuries were attended by
a doctor.
The team next ran into a buggy con-
tanning a woman and two little chill
dren. The rig was almost upset. but,
fortunately. it regained its wheels
again, and the occupants escaped with
out injury. Another rig a little further
down was struck, and a gOod-sized sec
ton of its framework removed. The
frightened team continued its fight
down the street TO Third South before
IT was finally stopped.
