Compared with the rate horses are
racing in the Middle West, our local
horses do not make as brilliant showing
as the Capital OF the Nation deserves.
In the matter Of blood lines. the light
harness horses owned at this point are
as well bred as those that have Just
been described. To begin with, there
is not a trotting track in the District
OF Columbia 1T for a high-class horse.
The wonder is that the museum OF Grip
pies on exhibition at Brightwood does
not present even larger exhibits.
In spite Of handicaps. Frank Thomas
last week stepped the sorrel mare FL
enora. over the track three miles around
2:25, which is as good as miles around
go on a frst-class track. This was
done TO cart, and one-half was trotted
in 1:O7, which is evidence that II the
sorrel mare continues to 60 sound,
her antagonists viii have 10 trot miles

beat her. The sweet and beautiful NY

Thomas, and has demonstrated that in
his hands she can pace very close TO
her record over a good track Thomas
Is too wise 10 attempt TO extend her
10 her limit on concrete
One Of the best pieces OF work Thorn
as has performed was when he got rid
Of Bedworth. Jr.s for the Javins a few
days since getting in exchange a very
handsome sorrel mare, Happy SIye, that
has trailed in 2:l5 at the pace. He IS
handsome bay or brown stallion, a
PAGER. and has a good way of going.
He is the property Of Jet Richardson,
Of Prince George county. A horse that
has come to his speed faster than any
handled by Thomas IS the brown pacing
stallion Lord Russell. He has shown {.
mile to cart IN 2-24lZ and is a sure 2:a.
or better paced right now over a decent
track.
Since Thomas took Bob r. into his
hands recently he is a greatly improved
horse and will be exhibited in the
county trots. The old warhorse, Sir
Electroid, is in fine fettle and looks and
acts as If he would get his share OF the
money again this year, as he die soon
after Noah turned him out of TIE ark

LETTER SHE WEPT OVER LIES
AT BOTTOM WITH BODY OF
BEAUTIFUL SACRED HEART
NURSE.

A letter which probably lies at
the bottom of the river with the
body of Miss Helen Wood, until
last night a Scored Heart hospital
nurse, may possibly explain the
cause of her sudden determination
to commit suicide. The letter came
yesterday. She was seen to open
it with nervous fingers, then her
lips twitched as she made an eff
fort to keep from crying. She went
at once to her chum, Carolyn
Becker, and asked her to go out
into the orchard with her. When
they went out Miss Wood re-read
the letter, then burst into a fit of
weeping.
"Oh, I'm so discouraged and
blue. Life holds nothing for me.
I'll jump off one of the bridges
some day
Miss Becker paid little heed to
the threat, as such declaration
coming from Miss Wood was not
uncommon. I've heard her say she
was going to jump off the bridge
many times in the past few
months" said Miss Becker in tell
ing of the circumstances preceding
the suicide.
The police believe that the young
lady had love affair and this was
the cause of her taking her life.
Miss Becker, however, says such a
thing is impossible.
Miss Wood and I were the
closest chums. If she had love
affair | am sure she would have
told me. She has been in a despOn-
dent frame of mind ever since she
came to the hospital 10 months ago,
particularly since her sister died
last summer in Seattle. She was
the easiest woman to give way to
encouragement | ever saw
Miss Wood was particularly
beautiful and high strung woman.
To such as she the life of trained
nurse holds out little encourage
ment. Surrounded by misery and
pain, the daily witness of the

Of DESPONDENT GIRLS
LEAP FROM THE BRIDGE

agonies and heartbreaks of others,
it is little surprise to her close
friends that all these things caused
her to give up hope and finally end
her life in encouragement. She
seemed unable to become hardened,
socalled, to the wearing life of the
trained nurse. Every ache and
pain of her patients caused ner as
great suffering as them. She would
merely bid patient goodbye, then
turn to another and suffer with
them mentally over and over from
day to day.
Though physically strong she was
unable to stand the ceaseless toll
among the sufferers.
From early this morning police
men have been dragging the river
for the body. Owing to the
cloudy weather and murky water
the task has been unsuccessful. 1t
is not believed the body floated
down stream, for the current where
it was last seen forms an eddy and
holds anything within a small area.
Those acquainted with the river
say that when the weather clears
it will be easy to locate the body
in it's white nurse garb.
The suicide occurred at $3.50
o'clock last night and wat witness
ed by several people. Two men
were within a rod of the distraught
woman when she leaned far over
the railing of the bridge, gave a
little scream and took the plunge.
She struggled but a moment, then
disappeared.
A note she left Miss Becker ask
ed that her stepsister, Lillyan Eu-
banks, of Walla Walla, be notified.
Her stepfather, J. H. Fields, and
mother reside in Lyondale, Idaho,
and have been notified. ~
The police have been working all

was the cause of the suicide. w.
