ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
IN BAKER JAIL

Baker City, Ore.-Although every
reasonable precaution had been taken
to prevent just such an intended trag-
edy, John Norton, insane, attempted
suicide Saturday night about mid
night in the city jail.
The man, fearing that others were
intending to kill him, determined to
cheat his pursuers. As a result he
lies at the point OF death, not from
the injuries he inflicted upon himself,
but as a result of the nervous con-
vulsons which followed his awful act.
Norton had been locked alone in an
individual cell of the Jail, but Deputy
Sheriff George Herbert. 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 in
explicable manner he had managed
to hide within 1t one of the forks
which the prisoners are allowed for
use in eating. With this the crazy
man attempted to cut his throat.
He waited until a time when every
person about the Jail was asleep, then
taking the fork. bent the prongs to-
gether and plunged them into his
throat on the right side just above
the carotid artery.
The man used the fork like one
would use a brace and bit; he bored
into the flesh. making a hole almost
half an inch across, from which the
blood flowed freely.
Before he had accomplished his
purposee. however, II. Franks and
Bob Alexander. two other prisoners,
had discovered the mans attempt
and, rushing into his cell, overpow-
cred him. Had Norton been left alone
another minute. according to the sur
geon, he would have been able to
force his way to the artery and made
death certain.

CHICAGO AIMS BLOW AT
TEXTBOOK GRAFT

the Chicago schools If a proposition
officially submitted to the schoolbook
investigationg committee of the board
of education yesterday is adopted. The
plan to be considered at its next meet
ing is that of doing away with all
books now in use and substituting
printed leaflets with the lesson COM
piled by the local educators. II it is
adopted by the board of education II

FINES COLLECTED
IN POLICE COURT

This is proving to be one of Judge
FitzGerald's busy days and as a re-
suit of the business of the morning,
$50 in fines have been collected, while
one man and three women are rusti-
eating in Jail.
Following a raid made on the Co
lumbia lodging house last night by
Night Officer John Kearney, three men
and three women found themselves be-
fore the bar of justice when police
court was convened this morning. The
men were Grover Farmer, Shorty
Saunders and a waiter named Prescott.
The women gave fictious names and
their true names are not known.
All six were charged with disorder
ly conduct and when arraigned, enter
ed pleas of guilty. The women were
given the alternative of So fine or Z
days in Jail and not having the money
they chose the latter alternative. Far
mer and Prescott each paid fines of
S25, while Saunders, being more fire.
quent offender than the others, is Ian
gushing for 25 days in the city bas-
tile, in default of the $50 fine which
was assessed against him.
"Pug" Heatham and Tom Balcom
were up for an alteration which oc-
cured Saturday evening. 1t evidently
was not much of fight as the evil
dence only showed that Heatham had
slapped Balcom. For the pleasure of
administering that slap ne paid the
city the sum $40. Balcom was tried
but there was no evidence other than
Heatham's word, that he had either
said or done anything and he was
therefore found not guilty.
An Indian by the name of LaCouse
was the only drunk registered on the
books and as he failed to appear for
trial he forfeited the s5 deposited as
bail.

dred and fifty three days after the
commencement of the trial. Patrick
Calhoun, president of the United rail-
roads, charged with bribery of former
Supervisor Fred Nicholas in connec-
tion with granting the overhead trolly

argument today.
Calhoun was indicted on March Goth

of the trial is 1.475,000 words. AS

Heney's right hand man, opened for
the prosecution, and made an impas-

the honor of their homes, and the in

He said: "If you are satisfied that

shows that Calhoun wanted the fran
chise for the operation of the over
head trolly. II shows that the earth
quake day was at propitious time,
and that he made a price with Abe
Ruef, and that Ruef gave orders to
his puppets, the supervisors, and that
without any consideration for the
rights of the people, Calhoun pocket

THE case resolves itself into two

defendant legally responsible for offer

ter than 1t was last year.
Reports from the Pilot Rock Sec
tion are also much brighter than those
received earlier in the season. The
indications are now that the barley
crop will be far better than last year
and that more wheat will also be
harvested.
Reports from other sections of the
county indicate that the usual heavy
yield will be harvested notwithstand-
ing the fact that the lack of moisture
has caused short growth of straw
In some sections.

bright, according to ]. A. Hawks, who
is in the city today in connection with
preparations for harvest.
That section of the county was Wis.,
tied by heavy rain about ten days
ago and as a result Mr.. Hawks thinks
an average crop will be harvested,
even though no more moisture is re-
ceived. He says the grain is head
ing out and that while the straw is
short he is OF the opinion that the
heads will be found well filled. He

the suppression of the religious order

Among other things the petitioners
asked the abrogation of the recent law
permitting religious associations to ac-

which up to the present time has been
illegal Senior Camacho moved the
consideration of the subject and when
the motion was voted down. the gal

deputies engaged in struggle in
which desks and chairs were over
turned and the chamber had to be
cleared twice. The tumult was contin-
