AWFUL ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE WAS AN OMAHA PIONEER
Insane Man Uses Fork to Drill Into
Throat.

Although every reasonable preoau-
tion had been taken to prevent just
such an intended tragedy, John Nor
ton, insane, attempted suicide Satur-
day night about midnight in the Baker
City Jail.
The man, fearing that others were
intending to kill him, determined to
cheat his pursuers. AS result he
lies al the point of death, not flom the
injuries he inflicted upon himself, but
as a result of the nervous oonvulsious
which followed his awful act. Norton
bad been locked alone in an individ-
ual cell of the Jail, but Deputy Sheriff
George Hertert, who had charge of
the prisoners, had arranged the cell
so that it might be opened by other
prisoners in case Of emergency.
The insane mans cell had been
carefully searched. but in some mex
plioable manner he had managed to
hide within it one of the forks which
the prisoners are allowed for use in
eating. With this the crazy man
attemped to cut his throat. He wait
ed until time when every person
about the Jail was asleep, then taxing
the fork, bent tho prongs together and
plunged them into his throat on the
right side just above the carotid
artery.
The man used the fork l.a2o one
would use brace and bit; he bored
into the fesh, making hole almost
half an inch across, from which the
blood flowed freely.
Before he had accomplished his
purpose. however, II. Franks and Bob
Alexander, two other prisoners, had
discovered the mans attempt, and
rushing into his cell, overpowered
him. Had Norton been left alone an
other minute, according to the sur
geon, he would have teen able to force
his way to the artery and made death
certain.

CHANGE BEING MADE
New Cable System for Telephone Lines
Sunday Service to Be Inaug-
urated at Once.

The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company is now at work on two i'm
portant and beneficial changes, which
when completed will greatly improve
the service in this city.
The foreman of the line department
has been here for several days super
vising a thorough reconstruction of
the companys' lines on Main and
Fourth streets. New poles are being
put in and heavier GROSS arms are re-
placing the old ones in the localities
carrying the larger number Of wires.
The disadvantage to which the ser
vice has been heretofore subjected
through cause Of high winds and tree
branches is to be obviated entirely by
the installation of cable which will
eu case all the wires running from the
central Office. north on Fourth street.
A change was made in the operating
force here on Wednesday, when the
company accepted the resignation of
Cleve Myers. the local manager, and
turned the office Management over to
@. GIiswold. of Walla Walla. She
will be assised in the operating service
here by Misses Alta Sharp and Minnie
Tharp. the present operators.
Another notable improvement. and
one which patrons have long wanted,
and one which has been greatly need
ed. will be better Sunday service.
Beginning next Sunday the company
will institute service from 8 O'Clock
n. m. 10 O'Clock p. m. The COM
pany will find that it's efforts in i'm
proving the service here will be ap-
preciated by it's patrons. Mr.. Bacon,
superintendent at Walla Walla, is
expected to be in Athena this week.

.PEDDL|NG WITHOUT AuCENSE
Seller of Groceries Will Be On Trial
Next Week.

George w. Kennett was arraigued
in Justice Parkes court Tuesday
morning on charge Of peddling
groceries in the county without a
license, says the East Oregonian. He
gave the 800 bonds required of him
by Justice Parkes and will be brought
to trial next Monday morning
The law under which the peddler
was arrested was passed at the last
session of the legislature. and SO far
as is known here this is the first ar
rest under the statute. 1t will. there
fore, probably be made test case.
especially since Kennett has manifest
cd disposition to fight tho case.
He was using hack and team of
horses to distribute bis groceries and
the amount of the license required for
an outfit of this kind is $3.50.
He insists that he is representative
of San Francisco grocery house, Tut
his statement is questioned by the
local authorities. They think it pro-
bable that he purchased his goods
from the San Francisco store, but
they think that is as far as his con-
nection extends and that the house he
refers to will not take any part in the
trial. '--t'
The complaint was sworn out at the
instance of the Pendleton Retail Gro
GERS association. This organization
was first informed that Kennett was
operating among the farmers in the
northern part Of the county about a
week ago.
Later. 1T seems that after consid-
ering the case, Kennett decided not to
make fight and gladly availed him
self of the opportunity offered to es.
cape by agreeing to pay what costs
had accrued and leave the country.
