Deadwood, So. OAK, July 25. =
This morning at 1880 at the Gay
lille county hospital. Walter Van
derhoff. the young mar who tried to
end his life at Lead by JUMPING from
the fire escape on the fourth story o.
the Smead hotel, ended his life by
means of a portion of his bed sheet
which he tore off and fastened to tue
top hinge on the inside of the door.
AS it was not high enough for his
feet to clear the floor, he bent his
knees till his feet cleared the floor
and s%trangled to death.
Vanderhoff was brought to the
county hospital about 4 O'Clock yes
t'rday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff:
Geo. Northam. A Waterman was
placed with him and had been cor
stantly with him all night. This
morning the latter Wen down to his
breakfast about 7:30 and was gone
only about fifteen minutes. and when
re returned he found the lifeless bonv
of Vanderhoff handing to the door.
where he had strangled himself in
the manner above stated.
Vanderhoff was a man about g.,
years of age. and leaves a wife ana
child at Hot Springs. He came here
to work in the Homestake mine q
the time Of the lockout and later he
took a position in the dry goods de
partment of the Hearst Mercantile
Co. 1t is supposed there We're some
family troubles and that a letter he
received from his wife a week ago
today caused him to become despond-
ent. In this condition he wandered
to Englewood and when he came
back a doctor waited on him, ana
he took a room at the Smead. Along
toward II o'clock he climbed to the
fourth floor from a third floor viii
dow at the Smead and tried to leap
to his death, but at that time an
electric light wire broke the force Of
his fall. He was about to recover
from this experience. although at the
time his skull was badly fractured
at the base of the brain. That he
was bent on self-destruction is evil
dent, and it is very evident that his
mind was unbalanced.

PHYSICIANS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
Expert Driving by Howard Radcliffe
SaNes -Four From Terrible
Death.

Rapid. July 25.-Dr. Gilbert and
DR.. jackson accompanied by George
Flavin in the Radcliffe car had Q
narrow escape from terrible a death
yesterday afternoon on the Keystone
road.
The physicians hao been c1lIeG
yesterday to attend q man :nlured at
the Addie mine at Hill City and were
unable to procure Il car. Howard
Radcliffe offered to drive them. the
case being an urgent one but warned
them that t was dangerous as his
car did not have a brake.
The physicians d@..;t!rd to risk if
any way and so left here early in the
afternoon. AS they reached the ton
OF a divide about thraa miles beycnd
Rockerville. they founl themlsovps at
the summit of an ey 3oedinely sterp
incline. and before Mr. Radcliffe hal
time to throw the car from informed
late gear into low g.,.ir the momen-
tum OF the car cause1 it to go so fast
that this was impossible. Nothins
then remained bat to stay with the
car 'hich was increasing it's speed
every moment and threatening to
smash into the rocks and trees lining
the road. or jumping. Radcliffe and
Flavln made no move to leave the
car, but Jackson and Gilbert brac.,l
themselves for the spring. Gilbert
leaped but Jackson decided that the
RISK was too great and stayed in the
car. Unable to see whether Gilbert
was killed or not the men staved
with the car and through the almost
marvellous guidance of Radcliffe they
reached the bottom of the hill in
safety.
AS soon as the speed of the car
SACKED sufficiently for them to alight
they hurried back to where Gilber,
lay PROSTATE on the ground. At
first glance the physician presented
a pitiable sight. He was covered
with blood and his face was so bruis-
as to render him almost bevonn
recognition. He was carried to III,
creek and DR.. Jackson found that
his face was cut to the bone-below
the cheek bone, through the temp!e.
TO the roots of the hair. Several
stitches were taken and although the
doctor will have a very painful face
for some time, still it is wonderful,
0 the force of the fall that he
was not injured even more serious
ly. The doctor is also badly bruised
about the arms and back and his eve
is badly swollen.
DR.. Jackson says they made Bar
ney Oldfield, the champion automo.
pile racer, look like an ice wagon rs
they neared the bottom of the hill.
The gentlemen are loud in their
praises of Mr.. Radcliffe for ais
seplendid GOODNESS and experiences in
carrying them through in safety.
Being physicians and on a profess,
sional errand the party did not de-
lay long to congratulate each othcf
on the narrowness of their escape bu,
