TEMPORARILY DEMENTED
MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
MOTHER HEARS SHOT AND NEWS WITHHELD
Sheep Shearer Comes to City, Hearing of
Mothers Illness, and Tries TO End Life,
But Is Unsuccessful.

Temporarily demented, it is said,
by sorrow on account of the fatal i'll
ness of his mother, Jesse E. Rowley
attempted to commit suicide last
evening at the home of his sister,
Mrs. Nettie Dougherty, 101 Kittitas
avenue. The bullet from his re-
volver entered his groin, infiicting
nothing more than painful flesh
wound. The injured man was re-
moved to the office of DR.. Helton,
where he was operated upon and the
bullet removed. Rowley was then
taken in charge by the sheriff's office.
He suffered considerably from the
pain of his wound, but was conscious
and told his story to Herald re-
porter last evening.
II was in the pantry in my sister,
home" said Rowley. 81 reached up
for the revolver, which was on a high
shelf, and that is all that I remem-
ber. l have no idea why tried to
shoot myself.
Il have been out in the country
sheep shearing. and the other day l
received word that my mother was
quite seriously sick. They told me
she had cancer of the stomach, and
l fastened to town to be with her.

myself, but I was not drunk, and

cause for the deed"
Rowley was held at the office OF
Sheriff Grant until late last night.
awaiting the arrival of that official.
1t was not known last night what
charge the man would be held upon.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1906-04-18

or whether he would be held at all,
pending an investigation of the cir
cumstances surrounding the shoot
ing.
Mrs. A. E. Garrison, the mother of
Rowley, is being attended by DIR. Hell
ton, whss stated last evening that it
was true that she was very low with
cancer, but the news of the act of
her son will be kept from her, as it
is feared that it would shorten her
life if she knew of the shooting.
The mother of the man was lying
in the next room, her death moment
arily expected. She heard the re-
port of the revolver, and feebly in
quired the meaning of it. She was
told that the shot was accidentally
fired, and seemed to rest peacefully,
little knowing that her son had at
tempted to end his own existence.
This attempt at suicide on the part
of Rowley is said to be the fifth in
the family, or those connected with
the family by marriage. 1t was said
last night that Mrs. Dougherty' :;
father, husband and daughter have
already taken their own lives, and
also brother. Rowley makes the
fifth.

that confronts us. We should pass
up these one-horse methods of keep
ing the city clean, and do the work
by wards
When Mr.. Schott was told that L
would cost $4,000 to properly clean
up the city. he said. 81 do not care i
1t costs a hundred thousand dollars;
the health of the city is worth the
price
Something has to be done" con-
tinued Mr.. Schott, and that some
thing has TO be done at once.
The proposal of Mr.. Schott did not
meet with approval, and the condi-
ton of the city was called to the at
tention of the street and ditch com
mittee.
Along the same line of thought,
Councilman Marsh again called the
attention of the mayor to the city
dumping ground. Mr. Marsh has
called the matter up in council be-
fore and severely arraigned the ma
yor for his delinquency in the prem
Uses Mr. Marsh said that the condi-
ton at the dumping ground was re-
voting. and that people living in
the far east part of the town were
seriously considering the dangerous
situation.
While fully believing the state
ments of Mr.. Marsh, the Herald in
vestigated the present condition OF
the dumping ground and found thai.
if possible. the actually is worse
than represented by the councilman
at-large.
The dumping ground is a horrible
sight. The stencil from the exposed
carcasses of horses. cattle, hogs
fowls and dogs is unbearable. The
ions, potatoes and other vegetables
is almost as bad
There are many big heaps of de
caying vegetables. limbs of hogs
chickens and dead dogs are left scat
tered about without being buried
The carcasses of cattle and horses
instead of being several feet undel
ground, are barely covered up.
There are at present nine carcasse'
of cattle and horses actually ex
posed. 1t is very apparent that wher
a hole is dug to receive a dead ami
NAL. it is dug so shallow that wher
the carcass is thrown into it. the hole
is filled even with the surface. anC
from two to eight or ten inches ol
dirt is thrown over it. The dirt or
top is invariably heaped up so that
when wagons are driven over Il, the
dead animals are left uncovered.
The stencil from decaying heaps Of
onions is almost as bad as from the
decaying carcasses of animals The
greater part of the rubbish is thrown
over the bank into small stream
of water that runs out from the main
channel of the river and again en-
tiers the main channel some distance

pail of a fever epidemic that will
startle the entire state.
The condition of the streets. al
legs, cess pools and dumping ground
is so awful as to be fairly beyond the
power of description. The sights
that one meets and the incidents that
one sees in journey around the
city are beyond belief. save one ac-
tually sees with his own eyes.
'This city is in very bad shape, >
said Councilman Schott, in his re-
marks before the council Monday ev-
ening. From a sanitary point of
view it is appalling to take a trip
about the streets and alleys of North
Yakima and contemplate the fearful
and positively frightful things that

minute to stem the advance of an
impending fever epidemic.

brewery the conditions are shame

Is Farm Property Too High?

John O'Hara said: 81 predicted
when the Tietan project first went
through that city property would in
crease in value while farm lands
would decrease. My predictions are
proving quite correct A number of
people are coming to us now who
used to hold their farm lands away
up, and are placing them in our
hands at much more reasonable
price. For instance. one farmer who
held his farm at $40 an acre came
to me the other day and told me to
sell 1t for SIS. This is only one in
stance of this kind. There have been
many others who haven't dropped
