PRISONER TRIES
 POISON THEN KNIFE
Frank Hoffman, Sentenced To Death, Makes Second Futile Attempt to Take His Own Life Rather Than Hang.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Feb. 2s.-- Frank Hottman. who was sentenced with Mrs. Agsie Myers to be hanged for the murder of Clarence Myers in May, 1904. attempted to commit sdi- eide this morning in his cell at the county jail by stabbing himself twice in the left breast. just below the heart
 Myers was Aggis Myers husband. The date set for the hanging Of Holt man Is April 10. Mrs. Myers is now in jail at Liberty, pending an appeal Of the ccse.
 Carl Yeager. Hottman's cellmate, witnessed the attempted suicide. Yea ger was writing letter. and Hottnlan was sitting in rocking chair, morose and silent.
 "oh. cheer up,r suggested Yaager looking at Hottman. stop looking at me that way" was HoJtman's re- ply. You. too. are planning to injure me, l believe. Everyone in this jail |, Is trying to get chance % 60 me up''
 You want to get that notion out of your head; you're getting foolish,' replied Yeager.
 Hoffman leaped to his feet and pac- ed the cell. with an open knife in his hand. He peered trough an opening fin the cell door.
 Drives Knife Into Side.
 They're all after me-" he repeat ed.
 Then Yeager saw him draw back his coat lapel and plunge the knife into his left side. As Hottman stag gered back. Yeager caught him and placed him in a chair. Yeager's cries quickly attracted half a dozen deputy marshals.
 Hoffman was carried. unconscious. from the cell and laid on the floor of the outer corridor. Assistant City Physician Gist found that Hottn1an was bleeding internally and ordered him removed 10 the jail hospital The doctor declared the deeper wound dangerous. but not liable to prove fatal. After an hour in the hos pital Hoffman regained consciousness T stabbed myself because everyone was against me-" he said. Hottman's breath smelied strongly of sulphur. He admitted that he had tried poison before stabbing himself. Last night I fixed up some stuff that I thought would kill me-" he said. T had half a box of matches, and dissolved the heads of these in a glass of water and drank it. It made me sick. but concluded it wasn't go- ing to kill me"
 "Hottman's mind is undoubtedly gone" said Mrs. simmons. matron of the jail. He has been acting strange ly for week or more, though we had no idea he was contemplating slt-+ eide"
 The knife used by Hottman was an ordinary pocket knife with two blades The larger blade had been broken and he used the smaller, which had been sharpened to a razor edge.

SIGNALS PREVENT WRECK

The efficicacy of the block signal
system was demonstrated again Mon
day when the danger signal halted
west bound merchandise freight and
prevented a wreck that would doubt
less have cost thousands of dollars
and possibly human life. A serious
washout incident to the heavy rains
occurred at a point ten miles east OF
Winnemucca. The floods poured over
he track, washing a ditch wide and
deep enough to bury an engine. The
oncoming freight knew nothing OF it
and would doubtless have run into it
and piled up in heap Of wreckage,
but the water rising over the rails
short curcuited the electric current
controlling the signal and the signals
showed danger The brakeman sent
ahead to ascertain the cause came
upon the washout and the otherwise
inevitable disaster was averted. A
work crew was dispatched to the
scene and the damage repaired afte1
a short delay.-Journal.

COLO BRICK INDUSTRY
1t Still Flourishes in Reno as If it
Were a Regular Fixture Of the
Town

The days of gold-brick buying is not
yet over. The visit of two strangers
to the local police station in Reno
yesterday gives ample testimony of
this fact
One man purchased what Ae
thought was a valuable nugget FROM
the other. The nugget was valued on
paper at $40, while in reality it was a
piece OF rock picked up in the street
and gilded with a material to make
it look like select high grade.
Gus Franks told his side. He said
Antoine klopp sold him the phorF
nugget for $3.50. When Franks a.
tempted to pawn the rock he found
that it was short in weight. Further
investigation revealed the fact that
the rock was coated with gilt. "a

Or. STUBBs' BILL
The Amount Of $487 Does Not Seem
Large for a Two Months Trip
East

The News seems to think that the

The Appeal believes the bill should
be allowed. DR.. Stubs is the Pres

travels abroad he is known as the
President of the University and re-
celved as such and we think it Is UP
to him to travel in style befitting
a state representative.
He should not sneak over the road
in second class trains and tourists
cars and he should go to the best
hotels and not be seen pinching every
dollar, for if he acted like a cheap
John man it would excite comment
detrimental to the state.
1t is all bosh, this idea that a state

tax payers.
He should eat first class meals,
scatter the usual tips among the port
