A very distressing incident oc-
| Cured at Wilsonville on Wednesday.
During the absence of his daughter,
Mrs. Frank Bea, with whom he lives.
MIR. Devereaux, an aged man, at
tempted to take his life by making
nine incisions In his arms with
razor; then went to bed thinking he
would bleed to death. Although the
wounds bled profusely they did not
bring the desired result When Mrs.
Bea returned and found the bloody
condition of the room in which the
deed was done, she was greatly
/ shocked. Dr. Voigt was summoned
( at once and gave him the proper
{ medical aid, taking seventeen
/ stitches. He was able to be about as
usual on the following day but has
| to be closely watched. As Mr. Dew
ereaux enjoys fairly good health for
one of his advanced years, has a nice
home, and spry on foot, there seems
/ no apparent cause for him to wish
| for death unless his mind is unbal-
| anced, which is feared. The family
are deeply grieved over the affair and
/ have the sympathy of their neigh
/ bors and many friends
