MAN NAMED WEST TRIED TIC
GET A PISTOL AND
LAUDANUM.
Halls From Colfax and Has Been
Drinking Heavily During the
Past Four Days.

Crazed through excessive drinking
man who gave his name as West and
hailing from Colfax, created quite an
excitement this morning by threaten
ing to kill himself. About IL o'clock
he went into the Drumheller company
store on Alder street and asked to be
shown revolvers. One of the clerks
handed him a pistol when West asked
for a cartridge to fit the gun. This
was also given him when he put it in
the chamber and then attempted to
pull the trigger. The clerk interfered
and by hard work prevented him from
firing the weapon. The man became
very indignant and upbraided the clerk
for interfering, saying that he wanted
to kill himself. The pistol was taken
away from him and West walked out
of the store. The occurrence was re-
ported to the police headquarters and
Officer Sanderson took the man into
custody at the Opera saloon. When
taken to the headquarters West ad-
mitted that he wanted to die. He
claimed that he had recently buried his
wife and he did not desire to live any
longer.
After he had been given a good lee
ture by the officer, West was turned
over to a friend who took him to mis-
room in the Switzler residence on
Crescent street.
Previous to going to the Drumneller
store West was about the streets en-
deavoring to borrow a pistol from a
number Of people with whom he had
slight acquaintance, informing those
people that he wanted to die. He was
| refused the use of a weapon and then
| he went to several drug stores and
endeavored to get laudanum, but was

| West came to Walla Walla about a
week ago representing himself as be-
ing ain agent of a life insurance COM
| pany. He has been drinking heavily
since mis- arrival in Walla Waila.

stream The trip will be one of great
Importance to the industrial develop

A STEAM RAILROAD
THROUGH The CITY

Editor Advertiser: Public attention
should be called to the fact that a bill
is being seriously considered by the
Senate which would authorize the con-
struction of a steam railroad along
the entire length of Queen street. the
Beach road to Waikiki, through Ka-
piolani Park, and around the point of
Diamond Head. IF this bill passes.
Honolulu viii be cut off from its water
front and we shall have a series of
grade crossings with gates and flag
men, which if the experience of scores
of cities be any guide, Will be removed
by the next generation at enormous
expense. The taking of the Beach
road and the invasion of KapioIani
Park can only be described as vandaI-
ism.
At the last meeting Of the Senate
Committee the only opponents of this
plan We're two corporations whose in
terests would be injuriousIy affected
The hearing was adjourned till Mon
day at p. m. Should not the ner-
chants of Queen street. the property
owners at Waikiki, and the various
which are trying TO make
and keep our city beautiful have some
thing to say at this hearing?

and explain why Mr.. Wagner is out
of work at all.
About two years ago Mr.. Wagner
was offered a permanent position al
our factory as carpenter at $3.50 per
day, which he declined, stating that
he was then earning 81 per day. work
ing for contractors. Here was a per-
manent position in view. which was
declined owing to the fact that some
what higher wages were paid for
temporary employment. This is no
doubt short sightedness. for which Mr..
Wagner is reaping his reward and in
stead of blaming himself he bIames
the planters now.
Respectfully yours.
