There should Dc c law in Alaska which would make one think twice be- fore committing such a foolhardy act as to shoot ones self for the sole purpose of testing another's affections. In Washington and many other states a person who attempts suicide and fails stands liable to healthy term of i'm prisonmenL The "dramitic" affair of last Sunday evening, in which Thomas Hess fired a bullet through his left leg after repeatedly threatening to commit suicide should not be passed up lightly. The deed was done as a grand stand play" so it is rumored. for the benefit of woman whom the wounded man claimed he loved and whom he was scorned by. The reject cd man lacked in courage to put a bullet through his brain and doubtless his cowardly hand trembled when ne fired the revolver which was pointed toward his limb.
