to inform her last night that he was going
to kill himself 10 three minutes. The
woman, thoroughly frightened, rushed
down stairs to the neighbors and had the
police called. 0fficer Booth went down on
the run and cot there before the three
minutes were up. The house was dark
and there was no one inside The
officer hurried up stairs aud found Nick
son lying under table On the table
was a clock and a revolver with two car
tridges ia 1t. With the exception Of tive
scratches over the heart, apparently made
with a razor, the man was nuininred The
officer also found letter addressed to the
mans mother in Virginia, bidding her
goodbye
Mrs Niekson says that her husband
placed the clock on the table with the
hands at three minutes of nine o'clock,
aud holding the revolver in his hand said
that in Just three minutes he would put a
bullet in each Of the two cuts In his breast,
from which the blood flowed freely, She

The police do not know whether tC
think the man really intended to commit
suicide Or whether he did it merely K
scare his wife. The woman wanted the
police to take charge Of him for the re
mainder Of the night at all events, as she
was afraid he would carry out his pur
pose. The police asked Niekson how ht

said he did that to make his wife believe

a burning automobile, the property Of
Darwin G. Jones, attracted a large crowd
IN front Of the Morse block on North
Main street late yesterday afternoon Be-
fore the flames could be extinguished the
machine was quite badly damagea one
tire being ruined and one side Of the car
being charred also portion Of the se-t.
Mr.. Jones, with DR.. f. @ Ligouri. was
just preparing to start on a ride, and had
turned on the valve in the pipe which sup
plies gasolene for the boiler. The pipe
had apparently been Wrenched severely at
some previous time. as it snapped of near
the boiler, while the gasolene poured out
with f0rty-pOund pressure behind It The
oil instantly caught fire from the flames
under the boiler and the whole machine
was soon envel0ped IN flames. II was i'm
possible for Mr.. Jones TO turn Oft She
dow Of gasOlene on account Of the spread
Of the fire, and for time the machine ap-
peared doomed 70 destruction, But the
accident happened fortunately where there
was line Of street hose. Dr. LigOurl,
who was Ia the machine, jumped out and
soon had a stream Of water playing on the
flames, and this, with a liberal quantity
Of salt, had the tre cut In q short time
For time there were fears Of an explo-
sion, but the most Of the crowd iioeked
about as Il they we're watching fireworks
and didn't heed the warnings that were
directed TO them.
As il happened there was only q little
more than a gallon Of gasolene in the tank
or there would have been a much more se-
rious loss. The machine, which Is Ro-
chester, Of the steam type, was taken to
Mr.. Jones residence on Elm street Il is
thought that the damage will be about
$50.
This is the tirst serious rnishap that any
OF the fifteen or more antomobllists Of this
city has sustained.
