John Duke, Formerly a Police
man, Takes An Overdose Of
Morphine This Afternoon.

SliicideEWas attempted this afternoon
by John Duke, an old time policeman.
Save for the fact that several persons
KNEW Of his intention, he doubtless
would have succeeded. Prompt medical
attention, however, will probably result
in bringing him from his present con-
ditioR to one of safety Duke took two
large doses of morphine, but through
the efforts of DR.. w. ], Kerr, he was
much relieved before the drug got in
its work.
Some time ago Duke was kicked by a
horse, The wound upon his les gave
him much pain and suffering and all
efforts on his part to secure medical
relief apparently failed,
ASKED FOR MORPHINE.
Yesterday he approached Patroman
Allie Barker an old friend of his, and
asked him to get some morphine for
him. Barker advised the man to go to
q. physician for the relief he WAS seek
ing and refused to get the drug for
him. He told Barker yesterday that
his doctors had been unable to help
him.
Duke again saw Barker this after
noon and told him that he had secured
the drug and was going to take 1t. He
jumped on a car to take him to his
home, 1856 east First South street, and
while on the car told the conductor that
the fare he was paying would be the
+ last he would ever pay, Then he took
a dose Of the morphine on the car just
before leaving the car. He had bid
the conductor goodbye and also Barker.
Arrived at his home he took another
dose of the drug and went into a room
II 10 Law down tn die. 9f't.
Medical aid was summed at onre,
DIR. Kerr responding. He took every
possible step to save the man and was
al first hopeful of the mans recovery.
Later information from Dukes home
was to the effect that his condition is
very precarious and an ambulance was
called that he might be taken to st.
Marks hospital for further treat
ment.
Duke, who has been living for many
years in mining camps over the state,
has been III this city for the last sew
eral months and was working as y
teamster. He made his home with Mrs.
Penn" Lynn, where the attempt at
suicide was made this afternoon. He
has three children living. but further
Information regarding his family could

CONVENTION NOTES.

Chicago is represented at the con-
5vention by more than 80 delegates.
This is a small representation from the
Windy City" but one of the dele
cation explained that at present work
is scarce in the east, and the unions
decided to devote their money
mostly to tho use of taking care Of
the families of idle members rather
than sending large delegation to the
convention,
New York locals have So members
present. There are $500 carpenters
out of work In New York, according to
the statement of the delegates. and this
accounts for the small delegation from
the empire state.
When Fisher Harris entered the con-
vention he was given three cheers and
mysteriously referred to as The Wiz
ard of the Wasatch."
The delegates will be given bath
at Saltair Saturday afternoon. They
will also go over the high line at
Bingham before the week is ended.
The conventions sessions will not
be concluded, it is estimated. under
two weeks. Many important ques-
tons will come up for discussion, and
with the program of entertainment
planned, the convention may possibly
be spread over the better part of three
weeks.
