JUMPED FROM TRAIN
Supposed Wichita Woman At
tempted Suicide.
PICKED UP UNCONSCIOUS
Santa Fe Claim Agent Here
Trying to Locate Relatives.

Early yesterday morning q woman
named Mrs. Hattie Jones. whose ticket
shows that she is from Wichita. jumped
from a Santa Fe train one mile west Of
EIlinwood. which is about seventy-five
miles northwest Of this city. and was
later picked UP in an unconscious con-
dition ana returned to Eninwood. where
she was sdn unconscious at noon yes
terGay.
1>he particulars could not be learned as
thf' only Information that could be gath
e14d was from a telegram sent from FL
hn'wood to the Santa Fe claim agent,
who came 20 this city yesterday even
lFs; for the purpose Of finding out the rel
5;!lves Of the injured woman
! 1t seems that shortly after the train
lleft Eilinwood she went TO the rear plat
iform and deliberately threw herself from
, the train. It is supposed that she at
tempted suicide, but this fact and the
ressons for il could not be established,
as the woman is still unconscious. Her
ticket showed that she bought it in this
city and as it was an excursion ticket
he name, Hattie Jones. was written upon
1t This led the claim agent to think
she lived here and he came in last night
to ind and notify her relatives. The
ticket was sold at the Santa Fe office
in this city Thursday and it is thought
that Mrs. Jones took the night north
bound train. Tie agents have no recol-
lection Of her and the claim agent has
q very poor clue on which to work The
city directory shows no person by the
name Of Hattie Jones and late last night
no one had been found who Guild iden-
tify her. She had no papers or letters
about her by which her place of resi-
'oence could be l0cated. The telegram did
not state the extent Of her injuries.

Ills grandson, Charles r. Sherman, be
came lawyer and went to Ohio in 1910,
making his home in the little town Of Lam
caster. Here he married and died in $50,
leaving six sons to the two elder of whom
fell the task of supporting the mother and
younger children. The Oldest child was
John Sherman, late United States senator
from OHIO and a member of two cabinets
One of the younger children was William
Tecumsch Sherman.
Adopted by Mr.. Thos. Ewing.
When his father died William was but
nine years old, and Mr.. Thomas Ewing
who afterward became United States S2na-
tor from Ohio, adopted him, rearing him
lis own child. lie ATTENDED q school at Ian
caster until he was sixteen years of age,
then Senator Ewing procured an appoint
ment to West Point for him, and he entered
the Military Academy in 1886. Sherman was
one of the most popular cadets who ever
attended the Military Academy. His class.
the class OF 40, contained such men as
Thomas Ewell, Getty and others, and
among these Sherman was the leader While
he was brilliant at all his studies, he man
aged to find plenty of time to indulge his
fun loving nature to its fullest extent, so
that while he was graduated four years
after his entrance No. 6 in his class, his
standing for department, or rather good be
havior, WAS IA However, he was ahead OF

Appointed Second Lieutenant.
Sherman was appointed second lieuten-
ant and assigned to the Sd Artillery. The
regiment was ordered to Florida, where it
saw hard service against the Indians. Sher-
man must have shown his superiority in his
profession very quickly. for within a year
after he joined his regiment he was promot-
ed to first lieutenant. At the outbreak OF
the Mexican war in 1916 he stationed
a t Fort Moultrie S. c.. in a company COM
manded by Capt Robert Anderson, who
was afterward to become famous as the
man who commanded Fort Sumter, when
it was fired on by the confederateS. Sher-
man first assigned to recruiting duty
in the north, but very soon was ordered to
California by way of Cape Horn. He reached
Monterey bay, after voyage of 1873 days
from New York, in January, 1917. He spent
much of his time in hunting, reviling his
fate at being so far away from the seat or
war in Mexico, where many of his COM
radeS and classmates were winning honor
and renown. While in California Sherman
acted adjutant general of his depart
ment.
In 1850 he returned from California with
dispatches, and on the first of May was
married to Miss Ellen Boyle Ewing, the
daughter of his foster father, Mr. Ewing
at that time being Secretary of the Interior.
The marriage was solemnized In this city
and was one of the most brilliant social
events of the year, having been attended
by a very distinguished assembly, includ-
ing the President and all the members of
the cabinet.
Resignation From the Army.
