SUICIDE ONCE MORE
Takes Dose of Laudanum and

Life and Death.

James smith, the attorney, made the
second attempt In a few weeks To
commit suicide early Sunday evening

weeks ago she was granted divorce,
but on the promise of her husband 10
lead better life, she had the decree
ser aside and went back to live with
MN and their four little children at
43l12 South Main street.
FROM the very first day of their re-
Mrs Smith Sunday night, the attorney
abused his wife sbamefully, accusing
her of immortality and other shockinS
crimes. Their troubles eliminated Sun,
day evening when Smith went to a
drug store and supplied himself with
the poison which, few minutes later,
be took IN the presence of his wife and
chlldren, As soon as the CHASTITY in
tent of her husband dawned upon her.
Mrs; Smith sent for Dr. Charles F.
Plnkerton, who applied the stomach
pump and all known emetics in an ef-
fort to remove the poison the desperate
man had taken
In these efforts he was only partially
successful and at an early hour this
morning the attorney was lowering be-

considering, the amount of the poison

Indications Are for Permanency and

full of rock that assays from $3.50 TO
5000 to the ton. The ore came from the
75-foot shaft on the Boulder No. 5
claim of the Fairview Eagle group. In
appearance il is very similar to the
product of the old Comstock and is
also very like the ore of Nevada Hills.
This most recent sensational striko
on the famous Eagle is from the north
and south vein, and by its direction the
management is convinced that it will
form a junction with the proved east
and west vein. Upon that theory drift
will soon begin on the vein to reach
the intersection.
One of the most favorable Of late
disclosures on the Eagle is the chang
ing of the ore from chlorides to sui
phides, the ore all the while not only
holding its own in value but improv-
