few days later he hanged himself by

not despair. however. and. drawing a
revolver. shot himself twice. He was
taken to the hospital. where he was
cured Of his wounds. A few days aft.
erward. at Loan railway station, he
shot himself just as a train was COM
ing In. hoping to fall beneath the
wheels. but again his life was saved
and he was taken to the hospital. He
managed to tear of his bandages and
swallowed them. Then he obtained
some water and drank 1t. and this.
with the cotton wool he had swallow.
ed. suffocated him. Thus his seventh
attempt was successful.

and its ghastly contents were revealed
to him. 1t contained the naked and
mummified bodies of q woman and
child.
The mysterious box was unloaded
from an express car at Italy because
the address upon 1t had been obliter-

The tree was q giant Douglas flr

the stump measured seven feet and
nine inches In diameter, and the total
height Of the tree was over 800 feet.
At the standard price Of $25 thou
