GEORGE GRAHAM
TAKES HIS LIFE
Third Attempt Of Dependent
Man at Suicide Was
Successful.

George Graham thrice tempted death
the dark river which he had for so
many weeks longed to cross. The I'M
fortunate man made his third and sue
cessful attempt at suicide yesterday
morning in the Vineyard street lodg-
ing house where he made his first trial,
by swallowing poison. About $50 a. m.
Graham was discovered to be in the
throes of death by the landlady who
had gone to his room to give him some
breakfast. DR.. Cooper was at once
summoned and he reached the house
soon but within 20 minutes after his ar
rival the unfortunate man was beyond
medical aid.
Graham tried to commit suicide about
six weeks ago by taking poison. He
was found in his room unconscious, and
was taken directly to the Queens Hos
The next day while the nurses back
was turned he broke a tumbler and
with a jagged piece of glass tried to
open an artery in his left wrist. The
nurse frustrated the attempt, and he
was afterwards watched closely. He
stated then that he would make away
| with himself some time, as he did not
care to live. He had been a constant
user of morphine and while in the hos
pftal required injections of the drug,
which were lessened day by day until
about two weeks ago., when the hos
pital physician stopped his allowance.
| Last Sunday Graham was discharged
from the hospital and he returned to
the same lodging house, although the
proprietor did not particularly care for
his company, owing to the notoriety
which he had already brought to it. The
lady gave him food. On Tuesday
afternoon Graham went down town,
and retired early in the evening.
Roomers nearby heard him grooming
and walking about his room all night.
About $50 when the landlady went to
his room with breakfast she found
him grooming and tossing about, and
| upon the bed clothes a reddish fluid
was smeared. Her suspicious were
aroused and her husband was notified.
Graham was then conscious, but he
would make no statement about him.
| self.
Graham formerly conducted a chop
house on Hotel street near Nuuanu
which did not prove a successful finan-
cial venture, and his losses of money
made him respondent, ending in his at
tempt to commit suicide.
A coroner's inquest was held last
evening, which rendered a verdict in
accordance with the facts as related
above.

Finally the lava began to be less sharp

in time to take the boat which was to
pass here at p. m. The rancher told
me it was an eight hours ride but his
son agreed finally to take me down TO
the boat if 1 would agree to make the
ride with him. 1 said 1 was stiff and
lame but 1 must try and we finally
started.
"Of that ride the beauties must grow
upon me- Every day L think of some
thing new and fine that marked the
way Capt. Dutton tells of the number
of waterfalls which he encountered on
the way up the mountain. L think he
overestimated the number, but there
are at least eight, which mark the
beautiful ravines which cut up the
sides of the mountain. At some of
these the water falls from 500 to 1000
feet in the most beautiful cascades
imaginable. The vegetation there is
remarkable and the trees and ferns are
grander that any 1 have ever seen else
where on the islands.

The superintendent thought not. 'It

his objection; the bank president ad-
mitted that there might be one chance
in a hundred of moving the gold Sc
cretly from the bank to the car; and
Mr. Savage sent the porter with mes
sage to Pete, directing him to report
at once for duty.

Pete came to attention like a SOL

the confusion of the moment l lost
sight of Blenkinsop, but a little later [
saw him at the step of the 256 talking
to Bronco Pete. When he came back

First in, first out" was the train crew
rule on the G. & G.. r., and he never
missed a call, not even when the work
ing pressure rose to thirty-siX hours
out of the forty-eight.
1t was in the white heat of the rush
that he got his blue envelope. In that
day the c. & G. r. paid in good hard
money from the pay car, catching the
men wherever they were to be found;
ard so it happened that Pete got his
pay and the fatal envelope at the Gold
Hill end of his run.

own trap.
Now apart from Bronco Petes en-
bassy L was very anxious to see Mr..
Savage in my own behalf, and to con-
fer with him. The mine managers on
the new strike had been foolishly stor-
ing their clean-ups in the local bank
until now there was near half n mil
lion dollars worth of gold bars and
bullion awaiting transshipment. 1t
was to arrange for the safe transit
of this gold that l had come to the
camp.
Ordinarily, no special arrangement
would have been necessary. But with
in a fortnight there had been two stop
pages of trains on the main line by

robbers, and though there was no hint
of the presence OF the brigands in Gold
Hill, we were disposed to be wary.

on a spur track at the station, ! found

tice could not be relied on"
The government man nodded assent
to this. and the bank president called
for my alternative.
1T is open to certain objections, and
it depends upon MIR. Bossuet," l re-
piled 1T is generally known in the
camp that Gold Hill is the end of the
pay run, and that the car goes back
from here with no booty large enough
to tempt the robbers if they are out
for the gold shipment. The pay-car will
run special in any event; why not let
it run ahead of the regular and carry
the gold?"
The objections materialized at once.
If the robbers were in Gold Hill with
spies out, the bullion could never be
moved from the bank without their
knowing it. SO said the bank president;
ard Mr. Bossuet demurred because he
had his wife and daughter with him.
Even the government officer thought
it would be extra hazardous, and Mr.
Savage capped the climax of protest
by saying:
1T can't be done, Graves; l was just
telling Bossuet we'd have to put his
car in the regular train for the run
down to the junction. We are shy an

Bronco Pete?" I queried.
He nodded.
He killed another of Byram's pet

Here was my opportunity-and
Bronco Pete's.
Cant you give him another chance,
Mr.. Savage?"
The Savannah morning news., 1902-02-23

How he came to be known the full
length of the Grand River Extension
as Bronco Pete" was a mystery Out
on the arid plain, where the Extension
is but 10 miles old, there is flag sta
ton called Wood Lake, so named, the
section boss will tell you, because
there is neither a tree nor duck pond
within 100 miles. 1t may be that Bron-
co Pete got his sobriquet on the same
principle of negations, since it is
matter of record that he did not know
a horse from a mule, and his payroll
name was John-John Simmons.
1 happened to be an involuntary wit
ness in the matter of the mule. AS
route agent for the express company
doing business over the c. & G. r., l
had frequent occasion to go back and
forth over the Extension, and on the
morning in question l had begged a
seat in the engine cab. Coming down
Whisky mountain grade bunch of
horses grazing on the slope above the
right of way took fright and, after rae
ing us for 100 yards, Numbered down
upon the track ahead
Pete winked solemnly at me, did
what he coud to check the down-grade
flight of the train. and shouted across
the cab: Bet I kill one of 'em in spite
a. hell" And so he did-an
animal that looked to me like
remarkably fine specimen of a thor
oughbred Norman-Percheron draft
horse.
But not so to Pete. When we stopped
to take account of the damages he
climbed down and looked the quivering
carcass of the giant thoroughbred over
with lack-luster eyes.
There amt nothing on top o. Gods
green earth so ornery as a derned
mule" he observed. And as a mule he
reported it.
1t was a mere chance that l hap
pened to be on the engine at the time
of the accident; but it was not alto
gether by chance that Bronco Pete and
/ met in the division superintendent

Savage had found out that l was

There was the sharpest possible con-
