\ young man named Thomas Hamil-
ton, aged about rs years u locomotive
fireman on the O. $. L., attempted sui
eide last night by taking IA large dose
of laudanum. He was found this
morning In an old roominghouse at 544
west First South street, in an uncOn-
scious condition, and with barely u
spark of life left IN him. Il seemed inn
possible that the young man could be
saved. but he was snatched from the
very Jaws of death at the emergency
hospital by DR.. G. S. Paul and Elec-
trician Charles Shelley OF the fire de-
partment
Young Hamilton had been living with
his parents at their home on Genese
street. Yesterday he began drinking
and at ] o'clock last night concluded
10 kill himself He purchased a bottle
Of laudanum and took probably two
ounces. When found by 4 domestic at
me roominghouse he was breathing
only at intervals. Life was almost eN
tinct, but when the police were notified
he was quickly taken 10 the emergency
hospital at the city Jail and DIR. Paul
was summoned. He worked over the
man for some time and then Mr.. Shee-
ley brought Il battery into use When
The electric current was turned on.
Hamilton suddenly came to life and
began dancing and jumping about the
room. An eTnetic was administered and
at this writing he Is being marched IN
and down the Jail yard by u couple
of TRUSTEES.
Hamilton said that, his sister died at
Coore, New, about a week ago, and
that her death was in a measure re-
sponsible for his condition. He said he
lelt that he had nothing to live for and
decided to put an end to his earthly ex-
lstence' 1t was learned that he has u
wife in Ogden and the police are in
clined to believe that he has had trou-
Bile with his family Unless he is per-
mitted to sleep, he will recover.

about 10 minutes.
The grade on the Copper belt line
