ARMSTRONG HAS
CHANCE FOR LIFE
DESPITE WOUNDS


Jackson ID. Armstrong, the car In
spector. who tried TO Kill himself yes
terday. did not die. Tremendously he
clings to life with a fair chance OF
recovery. Yesterday morning at III
o'clock he was barely alive, but in
the afternoon he rallied and wrote
note to his wife for her TO send for
his time check and he would sign II.
He received the check and he signed
Il. The doctors prohibit him from
talking in order to give the wound In
the throat every opportunity to heal.
But he makes his wants known by
writing. He has not been questioned
as to why he tried to commit the rash
deed SO often, as he is kept as quiet
as possible.
It is supposed that Armstrong used
the AK to cut his throat as the butcher
knife, with which II was suspected he
had cut his throat, was found In the
house this morning. The AK did not
have a keen edge, and the wound
was a smooth one, but the only theory
that remains is that Armstrong cut
his throat with the conner of the
blade. The cash is nearly three
inches long.
SO far the chances for recovery are
against him. but with the experiences
he has had his opportunity for recoy-
cry is little short of remarkable. II
he RECEIVERS 1t is probable thai ne will
be given treatment. as the relatives
are convinced Armstrong is not in his
right mind.

that the increased freight rates In
the east will be followed by proper
tionate increase in the rates on west
ern railroads.
Inquiry was made yesterday at the
Oregon Short Line and the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad Offices here as
TO the possibility of Salt Lake being
affected by the increased rates. The
railroad officials questioned stated
that they had so far received no Of
fetal notification that the eastern ad-
vance would also be applied to the
west, but they did not dispute that
such might be the case.
In New York the increase in rates
is attracting the attention of CONNER
eial bodies. Committees from the
Merchants association and the board
of trade and transportation have been
appointed to consider the matter, and
the Produce Exchange is TO take up
the subject. Action by these bodies
will be deferred until specific in
formation is obtained concerning
what the railroads propose to do In
the way of increasing rates.
An Associated Press dispatch from
New York states that many business
men are impressed with the claim of
the railroads that the business of the
country at large would be greatly i'm

freight rates, which would aid ma

the railroads and enable them to Or
