WOMAN ATTEMPTS
FAKE SUICIDE

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. "a
The police here claim to have I'M
earthed a pretended suicide with
Mrs. Emma Endrick, better known
as Topsy Wood, IN the leading role.
In response to a notice that the
woman had killed herself by drink
ing chloroform at rooming house
an officer found that instead of dy-
ing she had fed TO Glenwood
Springs.
At the time of her supposed
tragic death Mrs. Endricks was I'M
der indictment in Montrose county,
Colorado, for the attempted MUIR
der of Edward Keller. wealthy
stockowner, and his bride. The at
tempt was made by putting poison
in food served at the Keller ranch.
The family got none OF it, but hired
men who ate the food had narrow
escapes from death. Later it was
learned that the suspected woman
had secretly visited the ranch pre-
vious to the poisoning. She had
been madly in love with Keller
prior to his marriage to another
woman.

HUTCHINSON IS
CONVERTED ON
THE SPOT

R. A. Hutchinson, candidate on
the republican ticket for the legisla-
ture from the Third representative
district, has signed statement
that he would vote for and support
the Oregon initiative and referen-
dunn law. Mr.. Hutchinson, when
first questioned by the local refer
endum league as to his attitude on
the Oregon law, providing he was
elected TO the legtSla ture, replied
that he had never read the law and
that h would not agree to vote for
something he knew nothing of. He
did not say that he would support
any initiative and referendum law.
The officers of the league took it
for granted that he was not in ia
vor of the referendum and this
view of the position of Mr.. Hutchin-
son was published Yesterday Mr..
Hutchinson called at he Office of
Secretary Oerter, Of the league.
After studying the Oregon law he
said he found nothing in it he could
not vote for, and that he would
sign a statement to that effect,
which he did. Mr.. Hutchinson also
said that he has favored the initia-
tive and referendum law for years
and had he not been nominated for
the legislature he would have made
application for membership in the
| league.
Emory P. Gilbert. republican
nominee for the Legislature from
the Fifth district, sent In his reply
to the questions propounded by the
league. Mr.. Gilbert went on record
unreservedly in favor of the re
forms asked for by the league.
l.. P. Hornberger, republican
nominee for the legislature from
the Sixth district, said he was ii
favor of an initiative and referen
dunn law, but thought that the Ore
gon law could be sim2iified and i'm
proved upon. He said he would vote
for a law embodying the same fea
lures as the Oregon law.
The Oregon law has been TESTED
in the courts and has been helt
constitutional. This is one of thu
principal reasons the league de
sires candidates to support tina
particular law.
Advocates of the adoption Of thu
Oregon law in this state are afrait
that Washington legislators de
sirious of trying their handiworl
on the statute may Improve" it t.
such an extent that il will prove
to be unconstitutional after the.

YUMA, Ariz., Oct. For 20
months the Colorado river has been

IRRIGATION WITH A VENGEANCE
WHEN BIG RIVER BKEAkS LOOSE

The river tore it's way through a
new course. Six times during the
past year man has attempted to
check the torrent and six times has
the river won. AS often as the lit
tie bikes of sticks and stones and
dirt have been built, so often have
the fierce floods hurled them away
like mud and chips of a child's
play dam.
A last attempt is being made. It
is the final struggle to reclaim $50
miles of railway track, Tie 100000
acres of irrigated land, to save
dozen little towns and to prevent
a 100000 irrigation lam from be-
coming worthless. About SIS, 100000
worth of property is at stake.
