and Pounds Head With Hammer.

NORFOLK, Neb., Nov. 29.-But s
years old and twice a would be suicide
is the unique record of Dewey Newhill
of Tilden, Neb., whose father. a dead
miner, the lad says he can hear calling
him.
The first attempt was made with a
long, shining butcherknife, which he
took from the kitchen table, and the
next was with a hammer, which he
used in trying to pound out his brains.
Both came dangerously near ending
the little orphans life, and he has
now been taken to the country,
where, it is thought. shifted envi-
ronment and picturesque hills will take
his thoughts from the imaginary voice
to pleasant existence
When found the first time he had the
long, sharp knife at his throat and was
viciously slashing and cutting at the
tissues. He was so nearly dead that
it was feared he would not recover.
But the minute he had the strength.
he stole away, grabbed hammer and
began pounding at his temples with
all of the energy in his little arms.
His face was horribly bruised
He declared, when pleaded with,
that his father constantly called him.

been signed, but that the papers were
all prepared and would be signed at

the Open River association the latter
part of the present week.
A. F. Alexander, who is circulating
the subscription list, reports that he
is meeting with good success, although
he has not been able to go out in the

had secured sufficient pledges to bring
the amount up to nearly $4,000. This
leaves a little over $4,000 to raise to
make up the $4,000 required from Wal
la Walla county. 1t is believed that
the meeting at Waitsburg this week
by the special committee and the
Commercial club of that city will re-
suit in raising a considerable amount
and the enthusiasts in Walla Walla
feel greatly encouraged and are hope
full of receiving the full amount of

Road Race at Burlington May Be Fizzle
Because of Race Prejudice
Special to Times Republican
Burlington, June 3o.--Beeause a
number OF riders refused to enter
against Henry trizer, a local coiored
lad, and because of yelled charges
against the management of the Hawk
eye road race that a scheme had been
put up to force out certain partici-
pants, it has been decided that the
facts be made known and the race be
run, even if young Frizer is the only
man to be sent away Saturday.
The trouble began several days ago,
when the entire bunch of entries, bar
ring F'rizer, declared they would not
ride against him, because of his color.
Two of the boys went SO far as to
withdraw their names, but as the en-
tries do not close until noon today, 1t is
expected they Will re- enter again. The
other riders yesterday declared, how
ever, they would ride, despite the color.
