JEALOUS WOMAN
SEEKS FIERY DEATH
IGNITES HER OIL SATURATED
CLOTHING
Thinking Her Husbands Love Had
Cooled, Mrs. GasteIum Attempts
to Make Away with
Herself

Believing that her husbands love for
her had waned and that he intended
to leave her for a younger and prettier
woman, Mrs. Arillia Gastelum, a Mex
lean woman AZ years of age, attempted
to burn herself to death at her home,
2343 Enterprise street, yesterday morn
ing.
The attempt was a calm and delib-
crate one. First the woman wrote her
husband an affectionate note, calling
attention to the three years of happi-
ness they had passed together.
And now you intend to leave me-"
she said in the letter, land in the
future to pass your time in the arms
of Annie Go with her. if you will,
but while you are thinking of your
happiness with her, sometimes pause
and think of my cold body in the
grave"
In the envelope with this note was
one addressed to the husband and
signed with the name Annie" 1t Is
presumed this note aroused Mrs. Gas.
telum's jealousy.
Sets Fire to Clothing
After writing the note the woman
went to her kitchen. There she pro-
cured gallon of coal oil, which she
poured over her clothing. She then
lit a match, applied it to her garments
and moment later her cries of agony
rang out,
Hearing her screams a roomer in the
house rushed to her aid and with a
blanket succeeded in putting out the
flames, but not before Mrs. Gastelum
had been severely burned.
The woman was hurried to the re-
ceiving hospital, where it was found
the flesh had been burned from her
waist up. She suffered great pain from
her injuries, but physicians say she
will live.
woman was taken to the county hos
pital and her husband was notified of
her attempt at suicide. He went to
the hospital, where he said that he
had never had any trouble with his
wife and that he had no intentions
of leaving her

DOUGLAS DAWSON
AGAIN IN JAIL
BONDSMEN SURRENDER MAN
TO COURT
Former Manager of Sporting Goods
House Given Up-Wife lmne-
dateIy Files Charge of
Insanity Against Him

Douglas Dawson, former manager OF
W. H. Hoegee G. Co.'S sporting goods
store, who was arrested on a charge of
grand larceny several months ago, was
surrendered by his pondsmen yester-
day in department one of the superior
court. Judge Smith remanded MIN TO
the custody of the sheriff.
Shortly after the proceedings in de-
partment one Mrs. Dawson appeared at
the county clerks office and swore 10
an insanity complaint, charging that
the defendant was mentally incompe-
tent. He will be arraigned on the in
sanity charge Friday.
When his case was called for trial
| June 20 a continuance was granted on
| the ground that Dawson was in high
ly nervous condition that bordered on
insanity, and he was placed in the prl-
vate sanitarium of Miss Mona Mona
gan from which institution he escaped
| last Saturday.
After less than six hours of liberty he
| was found by Detective Hosick at South
Spring and Second streets, in dazed
condition. He was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where he has since
been under treatment.
Dawson Is CrestfaIlen
Yesterday he was pronounced py ths
doctors to be able to appear in court,
and his bondsmen, fearing that ne
would again disappear if allowed his
liberty, applied to Judge Smith to be
released from further responsibility for
his appearance at the time set for the
trial.
In court yesterday Dawson appeared
perfectly rational, though somewhat
crestfallen at the turn his affairs had
taken. He took great interest in the
formal proceedings attending the re-
lease of his bondsmen, but offered no
resistance when taken to the county
Jail, before being transferred to the III
sanity ward of the county hospital.
In the complaint charging Dawson
with grand larceny it is alleged that ON
the I'd of March he stole 100 ten-dollar
gold pieces, 130 five-dollar gold pieces,
and $50 in silver, in all $780, from the
payroll of the Hoegee company, of
which he had charge as manager. The
money was found later in a suit case at
the Jonathan club, and it is claimed
that the suit case belonged to Dawson.
