on Clark Street.
Scent causes Her to be Discovered LYING Uncon
scious on Her Bed. but Physician Uses
Stomach Pump bnt is Thought
to be Dying.

A mysterious attempt at suicide nap.
pencd in Glen Elk ut about eleven O'Clock
Thursday morning. There is no cx.
PLANTATION for It, except what the one
who tried it has to say about it herself,
and that docs not appear a very log
ieal reason for ending ones lie, although,
the mind may in fits of dependency
reach that desperate stage.
Miss Agnes Williams, an orphan girl
about % years of age, is the one who
tried to shuttle of this mortal coil. Size
appears to have attempted the rash act
about eleven o'clock, although the exact
time is not definitely known. She is a
domestic at the Waldo hotel and makes
her home at the residence of Claude
Haley, on Clark street. She was in her
room at the time she attempted to take
her life and was discovered by Mrs.
Haley, who smeIt something she thought
TO be carbolic acid. She went to the
yonng lady's room, opened the door
aud was horrilied 10 see her lying on
the bed in rather careless fashion. but
more horrilied was she, when she spoke
TO her and received NO response. Then
she say a bottle OF carbolic acid nearby.
and becoming thoroughly alarmed, she
hurried to the homes OF her ncighbors
and summoned them to the girls room,
They used home remedies until DR..
Chester r, Ogden could arrive. Tie came
about 1890 and although Miss Williams
had been unconscious an hour and =
half, he applied the stomach pump in a
way and administered such restoratives
as brought her to consciousness, after
considerable difficulty and much hard
work.
When she was sufficiently revived to
talk. she was asked what had driven
her to this awful act. and in reply she
states that she had no friends and
wanted to die. Further than tnat she
had no explanation to make and her
frineds can account for bcr actions in no
other way. She is a Young lady Of
splendid reputation and had no cause
than that assigned for her wanting to
end her life so far as those who are ac-
quainted with ner know.
II is remarkable that she did not die.
as the dose taken by her was fully three
teaspoonsful. mad doubtless she would
have now been corpse. If it had not
been for the timely discovery by Mrs.
HALEY,
Miss Williams has been = resident Of
this city Three or -four years. She for
merly was domestic at the st, Charles
hotel.
: AT first it was thought the Young lady
might get well. but about three o'clock
10 the afternoon DR.. Ogden was sum
n,oncd again to her bedside and her con
dition Is alarming It is not believed
She can recover. in fact. she i thought
to be dying at press hour.
