S. N. S. Student, Keenly
Feels a Disgrace
ADMITS GUILT OF a THEFT
Then Attempts to End His Life by
Drinking carbolic Acid-Mouth and
Throat Terribly Burned, But Physi-
clans Have Hopes of Saving His life
Parents Leave for His Bedside.

Word to the T.-R. from Cedar Falls

lowed carbolic acid Saturday in an at
tempt to end his life, after having been
convicted and fined for stealing $40
from his roommate, young man
named Brindel Mendenhall is still
alive, and while in critical condition
the physicians have hopes Of saving
him.
Merdenhall has only been student
at the state school since the first OF
the year. He is we'll known at Bangor
where he has lived all his life, and
where he attended school. Since going
to Cedar Falls it seems that he has
been spending more than his allowance
and, being in need of money, was
Iroommate's trunk. Brindel suspicioned
Mendenhall from the first, but did not
accuse him until Friday, when he had
him arrested. He was taken before
Mayor Robinson, acknowledged his
guilt, and was fined $780,
The disgrace of the affair was more
than Mendenhall could stand and Sat
urday, after brooding over his trouble,
he decided to end ALL He purchased a
small quantity Of carbolic acid and went
to his room at Mrs. Ida Browns, on
what is known as Normal hill. Brindel
felt sorry for his companion, and ha
tried to cheer him up, expressing to
him in plain terms his forgiveness.
Mendenhall felt, however that he could
never live down his disgrace and, in
the presence of Brindel and another
student said: Good bye, boys, l can't
stand disgrace any longer" With that
ne put the phial to his lips and drained
It, falling over on the floor in great
agony Physicians We're Immediately
summoned as soon as 1t was realized
what he had done. Emetics were adj
ministered and it is thought he will re-
cover. The young mans throat and
mouth We're very badly burned. and y
will be long time before he is entire
ly over the effects, IL he does recover.
Mendenhall is only boy, and was
10 years of age the Sth of last August.
He is son of Mr.. and Mrs. Over
Mendenhall. of Bangor, who We're sum-
moned to his bedside Saturday by tel
ephone message that simply stated he
was iii. He has several smaller broth
ers and sisters at home. and a married
sister, Mrs. l.. l.. Manlove. living 1t
Bangor. Another married sister is Mrs.
Omer Hail. Of Pocahontas.
The affair created a great sensation
among the student body Of the
school.
A telephone message from Cedar
Falls says that Mendenhall still contin-
ues to do very nicely and is at a private
hospital Every indication points to his
recovery and 1t is thought that within
a few days his parents can remove him
to their home.
