"HANG Me-" HIS
PLEA TO CROWD
But Stranger Backed Down When
NOrthOme Men Gave Him
Taste of Rope.

Northome, May l9-I1ast
Thursday a man came to town
wanting to hang himself.
He told his intention to Matt
Jones, who advised him not to do
it; and thought he had gotten
over the idea; but in the evening
he came around with a rope and
begged some men to hang him.
Jones happened tie be in the group
and thought that he would fright
en- by partly complying with hi
request.
He took the fellow to nearby
post on which the old fire gong
hung. He then got a chain
around the mans neck and gave
it a heavy pull over the post. The
man collapsed and fell to the
ground with his mouth wide
open.-Jones thought that he was
dead, and saw a vision of cold
iron bars; but the man soon re-
covered. Jones caught him up
and said.
Nov will you hang yourself!'
"No, no!'' gasped the poor fell
low. He had had enough.

jacks; Police Intervene and
Judge Imposes Fines.

An exciting chase of two lum-
Der jacks by a bartender took
place yesterday on the streets of
Bemidji and ended in justice
court, where the three offending
parties were fined S. each by
Judge Sinvik.
L. Olsted, who tends bar in a
saloon near the lake, was the
man behind the gun, and A. N
Nelson and John Johnson were
the men in front.
The last two had gone into the
saloon to get drinks and after
disposlng of the liquid failed to
pay the costs. Olsted ordered
the men to leave and when they
refused to go chased them out
with a revolver.
One of the lumber jacks was so
badly scared that he ran and hid
in a swamp and the other sought
safety imam alley. Policeman John
Cline happened to be near the
place when the men rushed from
the building and placed all three
under arrest.
