SCARCITY OF CITY WATER

At this season of the year the pres ent abundant supply of city water can only be maintained providing, the ut most care is taken to prevent unneces- sary waste, caused by defective pipes or ieaky faucets. All customers of the Bisbee Water and Fuel company, are warned not to use water ether than for the purposes paid for. Under no con- dtion will irrigating be tolerated. Where violation of the above proyis-- ion is found to exist the company will shut of the water without notice and will not turn it on again during the season, except upon payment of an ad- vanced rate.

Fritz Hedges made two attempts to
 take his life yesterday. first by taking
 a dose of strychnine, and second by
 hacking at his throat with a sharp
 butcher knife
 Neither attempt proved a success, owing to the timely arrival of medical
 assistance. It took heroic work on the part of Drs. Hart and Dysart to prevent Hedges from accomplishing his purpose.
 The second attempt was the most spectacular of the two. .Hendges enter ing the butcher shop of A. Bauer on O. K. street, and attempting to cut his throat with sharp butcher knife, at about l o'clock in the afternoon. Late yesterday afternoon Dr. Dysart gave it az his opinion that Hedges was suffering from suicidal insanity, and has a constant, cunning mania to take ris life. He is dangerous to himself as well as others, whom he may fancy are trying to do him some injury.
 The attempt at self-destruction made in the meat market must have been carefully planned. Hedges en- tered the place, passing Bauer on the outside He seemed at the time to be rational, but was on his way to get a butcher knife.
 Hedges walked behind the counter and picked out small knife with an exceptionally keen edge. He then walked to the center of the room. and took several hacks at his throat The would-be suicide placed his hands on his knees and bent forward in order to let the blood flow freely.
 Mrs. Bauer saw him and ran from the rear of the building to the front, and told her husband what was going on. He looked into the shop and saw the bloody sight. Constable Doyle was at once notified, and summoned Dr. Dy- sart from the company dispensary.
 Before the gashes could be sewed. Hedges hands had to be tied behind him. He was determined to die, and kept tearing at the fearful wounds Even with his arms tied under his back, as he lay on the floor of the porch, he resisted the efforts being made to save his life
Bisbee daily review., 1903-05-01

| After Hedges had been taken to the
 company dispensary for further treat
 ment, there were two pools of blood
 at the meat market. The largest was
 on the inside, on the spot where he had
 used the sharp knife. On the outside
 there was another pool. where he sat
 while waiting for the doctor to arrive
 The place was an object of curiosity
 for some time after the injured man had been removed. Several hundred people crowded into the shop to see the large pool of blood that marked the spot where he made the frantic but unsuccessful attempt.
 That the deed of Hedges in the meat shop was not done on the spur of the moment is evidenced by his attempt earlier in the day. He dropped in a faint in the Orient saloon, and Marshal Henderson had to summon Dr. Hart to relieve him. He had shortly before taken large dose of stryehnine.
 Ysterday afternoon Rev. Harvey NJ. Shields called upon Hedges at the company hospital, and learned from him that he is a member of Golden Rule I. O. O. F. of Los Angeles. His lodge will be communicated with at once. He was formrly a member of the Knights of Pythias, but is not in good standing at the present time.
 Hedges told Rev. Shields that he was at on time a Woodman of the World. and also a Mason. He says that he divulged some of the secrets | of the latter order, and was to have been killed last night for his treachery
 The man is without doubt insane. and dangeous to be at large. He makes outrageous staten ents about death being about to overtake him. He said yesterday that E. A. Tovrea was judge of the highest court. and had sentenced him to be killed in eleven different ways.
 Hedges was for some time employed by E. A. Tovrea as sausage maker. but had to be released on account of heavy drinking For the past two days he has been in the employ of A. Bauer, and Wednesday night set fire to the slaughter house. The fire was discovered and put out before any damage was done.

FORMER EVANGELIST
Rev. Joel Bassstt Passed Away at Butler
Hospital Yesterday.

Rev. Joel Bassett, for many RS a
well-known evangelist OF the city, died
at Butler asylum OF progressive mental
disease yesterday afternoon. Mr. Bas-
sett confined his work almost wholly TO
the lower classes and did much good in
his sphere.
He was long IN charge OF the religious
work OF the Bethel mission and also con-
Quoted nightly services In another small
mission on South Main street. In these
places he strove earnestly to inculcatc In
the water men and other gatherers de-
sire to learn the simpler and more prac-
tical religious principles. Himself an ex-
tremely practical man. Mr.. Bassett talk
ed TO his hearers in a simple and conf
Dental way, which doubtless was quite
as effective as more erudlte addresses.
Along the same practical lines Mr..
Bassett wrought much good and was OF
great value TO the charitable organiza-
tions Of the city, his plain talks at meet
ings OF these societies Offering many
suggestions as to successful methods OF
wark among the lowly and tempted
Mr.. Bassett's knowledge and activity
counted for considerable in an unosten-
tatious fashion. AS result or his ner-
vous energy and constant application TO
his chosen work his health failed a few
years ago and finally the attending ply
sicians advised treatment at Butler hos
pltal.
He was admitted to that institution in
August. 1899. hut Il was soon found that
his health had become impaired beyond
hope OF recovery. Mr.. Bassett was %
years OF age and leaves n widow.

Does not the people pay from . TO ~
