TWO PRISONERS SEEK DEATH.
William Lands and Frank J. Westcott
Attempt to Kill Themselves.

Two young men, William Lands and
Frank J. Wescott, beth behind the bars
on charges of forgery, the former in
the central police station and the latter
in the county jail, tried to kill them
selves yesterday.
Lands fastened a towel to the bars
at the top of his cell, and tying 1t
around his neck, jumped from his cot
to the floor. His stif1ed cries brought
the jailor and other officers, who united
the towel and Lands recovered con-
seriousness in a short time. Lands Is
accused of forging his brothers name
to a check for $S5, which he cashed at
q clothing store.
WeStcott, who was arrested last week
on the charge Of forgery, and on whose
person the police found bottle Of car
bolic acid, seems determined to carry
out his threat that he will not return
to the Saltwater penitentiary alive
Yesterday he tried to end his life by
strangulation.
One Of the TRUSTEES passed his cell
and saw him lying on the floor, appar-
emily ifeless.
Capt. j. H. Alexander, the superin-
tendent, was summoned and when he
entered the cell he found that Westcott
had filed his mouth with a handker-

companion used a 30.40 Winchester and
the writer used a No. Mannlicher With
such strong guns we were seldom able to
stop a big stag with a single shot, even
when hit in vital spot. One that the
writer shot through the heart ran with
the rest of the drove 200 yards, as though
he had not been touched, before collaps-
ing. When we opened him he had only
one bullet hole. and his heart was cut
In two. Another went about the same
distance on the jump with both fore
shoulders broken and a bullet through
the neck. On several other occasions the
stays when hit went off with such
strength that when they fell they dug
their antlers in the ground and turned
complete SomerSaults.
The first caribou we killed was q fawn
We picked him out because we wanted
meat, and being young, we thought he
ought to be tender. In fact, however, his
meat was almost useless-Iean, tough
stringy, and very dark in color This
was difficult to understand, and the guides
for some reason were unable to offer an
explanation. However, learned the rea-
son later. It appears that during the
mating season the faWnS are weaned. The
old stag, driving the fawn away from his
mother, will strike him with his horns
and chase him half a mile. AS soon as
the stag gives up the chase and turns
back to the doe. the fawn will return
then the stag will chase him again This
is kept up eight or ten days, with the re-
suit that, from worry violent exercise and
change of diet. the meat of the fawn be-
comes for a time unpalateable

sensibility.

What happened to Eastman? That
is the Question agitating the Minneap-
oils police department.
After being away from home ten
days, H. L. Eastman, draughtsman for
Turner e Skinner in the Phoenix
building, Minneapolis, walked into his
own storm door at 3414 Harriet ave.
nue. and very nearly put Mrs. East
man out of commission.
He tells story that makes the
murders of the Rue Morgue look like
commonplace Inventions Eastman
says he left the office of the firm that
employs him a week ago last Friday
evening, and that he went for lunch
to a restaurant in the vicinity Before
leaving he drew $50 from the firm and
it was his intention to go to the pub
lie library for an evening of study.
AS he turned into Ninth street from
Nicollet avenue, after passing an alley
in the rear of the Hotel Richmond he
was assaulted from behind by two
h1ghwaymen, who knocked him down
and robbed him of the $50 and his
gold watch. Eastman claims that he
was beaten to the ground and that he
has no recollection of what happened
afterwards.
Eastman is draughtsman. He
works for Turner & Skinner. The firm
declares that he is reliable workman.
When he walked into his own front
door his wife who had been prepared
to believe him dead, was hardly able
to recognize him. His face was dis
figured and he had evidently been
roughly dealt with.
Il do not know what has happened
to me- said Eastman yesterday. 'T
have been ill-treated. I hardly know
how or by whom. I left here in
dream and woke up at Chaska in a ho-
tel bed. did not realize where I was
or what had happened to me until
Saturday. Then 1 started home, but l
was not in shape to handle myself
properly. I did not know whether I
was myself or some other man."
The police are acting on the SUPPOSE
ton that Eastman was assaulted by
members of a gang of thieves now
holding forth in Minneapolis, and they
hope to make arrests.
Friday night Arthur Brinn, Of 1909
Tenth avenue south, was held up and
robbed There have been half dozen
such cases within a week The de-
partment hopes to make arrests
shortly.

SALTWATER ATTORNEY
TIPSY BY ACCIDENT
Therefore He Asks That Court Rec
ords Be Expunged.

Judge Doe, Of the municipal court,
has received a petition from Thomas
Lecky, saltwater attorney, asking
that the records Of the court be ex-
plunged In so far as they relate to a
charge of drunkenness, on which Mr..
Lecky was convicted and fined last
fall. The petition gives a detailed ac-
count of the affair and is signed by
many local attorneys. 1t is also rec
commended by Mayor Armson. The
petitioner cities that he was i'll at the
time of the arrest. and after walking
about the city had taken two drinks
for medicinal purposes. Twenty min
utes later he was overcome by the
liquor and was unconscious for sew
eral hours. Inasmuch. as Mr.. Lecky is
not addicted to liquor, the statement is
believed and the petition has been
taken under Amusement by Judge Doe.

The first occurred at $50 on the

walton Army, was crossing the struc-
ture when he was confronted by three
men, their faces hidden under white
handkerchiefs, who commanded him to
throw up his hands. Each was armed
with a revolver.
Sargent did so, and after thor
ough search they secured all his mon
ey, between SIS and SO. The thugs
then ran over to the opposite side Of
the bridge. Sargent te1ephoned his loss
Immediately to police headquarters and
two detectives were dispatched in that
direction. They were unable to find
any trace of the thieves, however.
Not ten minutes later another tele-
phone message to headquarters told of
another holdup on the east side of
the same bridge. The victim in this
instance was w. ]. Sullivan, of 2123
