AN ATTEMPT
AT SUICIDE
MRS. WILLIAMS SHOOTS HERSELF
AT CliFFORD'S RANCH
AFTER A QUARREL,

Mrs. G. Williams, who. with her hus-
band. resides at X. w. Clifford's ranch
at Trout Creek. a short distance from
Garneill. made a desperate attempt to
commit suicide Friday night, and came
very near carrying out her purpose.
AS result, she is now suffering from
severe bullet wound in the forehead,
but will recover.
1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liams have not lived happily together
and on Friday night had quarrel ov-
er the wife's inclination for dances
and such amusements, me husband s
taste being for more serious things.
After the quarrel, Mr.. Williams went
up stairs, evidently thinking the in
cldent was at an end. He had been
there but few minutes when a shot
rang out, and ruShinh down STAIR
he found his wife lying unconscious
On the floor. with a smoking pistol at
her feet, and the blood trickling from
a bullet wound in her forehead. Mr..
Williams quickly carried his wife up
stairs, and after placing her on
bed. rusned to the Trout creek school
house, where religious meeting was
being held.
start!es the Worshipers.
The distracted husband startled the
wOrshipers by saying as he entered.
please excuse me, but my wife
has just shot herself, and | want
someone to go up there with me-"
Several men left the meeting and
accompanied Williams to the Clifford
place, listening to his statement, on
the way, of what had occurred. They
naturally expected to find corpse on
their arrival, and their surprise can
be imagined when instead of that,
they found Mrs. Williams down stairs
engaged in wiping the blood up from
the floor. She was in rather dazed
condition. however, and DR.. J. II. Bet
ten. OF Garneill. who had been sent
for soon arrived. An examination
of the wound, together with the wom-
ans statement, showed that after
Mr.. Williams had gone up stairs, she
took his 32-calibre revolver, and plac-
ing the muzzle against her forehead,
fired. She had held the pistol in a
slanting position, however, so that the
bullet, after striking the frontal bone,
was DETECTED. It inflicted a very ugi.'
wound, but one from which no dan
ger is now apprehended.
Needless to say. the attempt at sui
eide brought about a reconciliation
between the husband and wife.

near Sandepas, intending to take the

"On January q, our column on the
extreme left took the offensive
against the villages of Samapu and
Daotsia. south of Sandepas. which
were occupied by the enemy. Dur.
ing the whole of January ~, an obsti-
nate fight was going on here and af.
ter midnight we took Samapu.
ION January 20, another column
advancing upon Sandepas, occupied a
great part of that fortified village:
but coming upon a strong redoubt with
a triple row of artificial obstacles,
which had been scarcely damaged by
our fire, and which were armed with
field artillery and quick-frers, and
seeing the impossibility of carrying
the redoubt. without a preliminary
bOmbardment. our troops left Sande-

The Final Moves.
The final moves were made at two
special meetings of the council, held
Tuesday night and last night, for the
purpose of receiving and approving

bonds were approved were Alex. Bran

A number of others presented their
bonds. but as they were not properlv
executed. owing to some misunder-
standing. these parties were given un.
til p. m. today to file the bonds
with Mayor Symmes for approval.
Then. in order that there might be
no charge Of partiality. it was decid-
ed that the same privilege be extend
ed to all who had not presented their
bonds.
AS soon as this action had been
taken last night, Alderman Walter
S. Smith moved that after 4 D. m. to-
day. any saloon for which a bond had
not been filed should be closed up
forthwith by the city marshal.
City Attorney De Kalb stated that
the motion was unnecessary, so far
as he was concerned. He intended
to enforce the ordinances Of the city
with whatever power he had.
Alderman Smith said that it was his
intention. in voting for the new ordi-
nance. not to drive gambling to the
second floors. but to drive it out alto
gether.
Mayor Symmes said it was his un-
derstanding that the ordinance was
to be enforced as it read. 1t was his
intention to so enforce IT..

After the meeting, Marshal Bebb
notified all the places where gamb-
ling has been conducted in any way

for several of thes aloon keepers as
