FE|GhS DEATH TO
SAVE LIFE FROM
MANAGES ATTACK
Husband Kills Himself After Be-
lieving lie Had Murdered
Clever Woman.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Feigning
death after she had been attacked by
her crazed husband. who was armed
with a razor and an ice pick, Mrs.
Theresa Bongo, of $3.50 West Twenty
sixth street, saved her life today by
lying in the hall where she had fled
after the man had hit her three times
n tried to stab her. After satisfying
himself that he a murdered the wom-
an, Bongo cut his throat with the razor.
He was dead before the arrival of an
ambulance from the New York Hos
pital.
For the last three months the man
had been a patient in the Metropoli-
tan Hospital for the Insane on Black
wells Island, but was discharged yes
terday as cured. His wife refused to
take the verdict of the physicians
When her husband returned home
yesterday she would not stay in the
apartment, and went to the floor above,
which is occupied by the family Of
Vito Strullo.
Before daylight today Bongo came
upstairs and demanded that his wife
come down and prepare his breakfast.
When she refused he drew the razor
from his pocket, and, grabbing an
ice pick that lay on a table shouted
that he was going to kill her.
The woman would probably have es-
capped from the crazed man, but slipped
as she ran through the hall. BoSgo
hit her three times on the head with
tie loaded n of the ice pick. Realizing
that the only chance she had of saving
her life was to feign death, Mrs. Bongo
lay still with her eyes closed.
1--WE killed her all right" shouted
the insane man to Mrs. Strullo, who
stood on the landing above. Now Tn
going to kill myself" he cried.
The man then gashed his throat with
the razor Mrs. Bongo ran screaming
to the street. A hurry call was sent to
New York Hospital by a policeman,
but when DR.. Laighton arrived the
man was dead.

GRAND JURY TO
PROBE EXPENSES
At COUNTY ASYLUM
Rebates to Sub-cOntractOrs
Under Alterations to Be
Looked Into.

Members Of the business committee
of the grand jury were busy today lay
ing out the lines of work that is to be
pursued when hat body goes on with
the probe into the affairs OF the Hos
pital for the Insane al Overlook,
which will be next Tuesday afternoon.
1T is expected that not only will the
jurors then practically complete their
investigation of the management of the
asylum under DIR. Daniel M. Dill, but
that they will begin to delve into the
dost of the institution and like sundry
side trips of much interest to the tax-
payers of the county.
No subpoenas have been issued as
yet for the new lot of witnesses in this
long draWn-out probe, but it is said
TO be a settled fact thtt what the
jurors are now most anxious to know
is whether the county received true
value for the vast sum of money that
has been expend I'd in the construction
of the big buildings that shelter so
many unfortunate men and women.
One of the matters of peculiar inter-
est to the inquisitors is as to the. re-
bates hat were received by certain of
the sub-contractors as the result of
certain alterations in the construction
that have been ordered. The jurors
have been studying the original plans
and specifications and are said to be
pretty well Cup" on the cost Of the
work. The copper cutters, for instance.
that extend practically all around the
buildings have been examined care
fully and will form part of the subject
of inquiry as to cost.
The work along the corridors has
been also looked into and will be part
Of the subject for inquiry as to cost
and materials furnished. So will the
stills and other minor work that mas
attracted the attention of the inquisi-
tors, while the heating and ventilating
system, put in by Storms & Co, 1t is
said. will receive attention, and one
phase of it ma be an inquiry as to the
rebate of about $10,0 0 allowed to that
firm recently, as the result of altera-
tions directed to be made.
Richard e. Heningham, the general
contractor on the big job, may be
among those who will be invited to en-
tighten the jurors, n Hurd e SUIT
ton, architects of The building, may
also be called upon TO tell the jurors
what they know about cost, material
and rebates.

FROZEN, STARVING, STILL
HE DEMANDS "WHO @ N ?"
Endurance Record Broken by
Utah MOuntaineer.

SPANISH FORK, utah, Feb. PAN
endurance record of high mark was
made by Fred e. Fahey, who was found
yesterday by a rescue party in a de-
serted cabin in the mountain.
Without fire or food Fahey lived for
six days in zero temperature. His only
shelter was the rude hut and he was
without food. When a searching party
found him his hands and feet were
frozen and he was in a c%onlatose state.
Fahey's first question on regaining
consciousness was not for Gerhart
Siebel, his companion, who persisted
in the storm, but:
"Who won the Wolgast
fight?"

VINCENT DELIVERS IMPRESSIVE
ADDRESS TO PYTH|Ah KNIGHTS
Interesting Services Held at Auditorium Yester-
day Afternoon

Impressive and Interesting were
the memorial exercises held yester-
day afternoon by the members OF
Junction lodge No. 124, Knights OF
Pythias. Despite the exceedingly
warm weather a fair sized audience
was present at the Auditorium at 8
o clock in the afternoon when the
program was scheduled to begin, and
this was increased during the follow
ing fifteen minute.
The stage was appropriately and
beautifully decorated for the occas-
ion. The altar was draped in white
and black while potted palms were
placed at the corners of the stage. A
draped chair with helmet and sword
emblematic of the departed knights.
occupied a conspicuous position near
the altar. A score of knights occu-
pied seats on the stage.

announced the various numbers of
the program. The Presbyterian quar-
tet rendered Ashford's THE Lord is

Miss Florence Goodwin's offering and
her clear soprano voice easily filled
the large building. The ritualistic
service was continued. the members
placing sprigs of myrtle on the altar
in memory of the departed knights.
Owing to the fact that Mrs. ID. j.
Roach had been suddenly called east,
the audience suffered disappoint-
ment in not hearing that talented
singer. but the vacancy on the pro-
gram was filled by L. A. Sherman
sing The Clock of the Universe"
Hon. Merle ID. Vincent was then
introduced as the orator of the day.
He delivered splendid address on
Friendship" His voice was clear
and resonant and the audience lis
tened to him with rapt attention.
He cited the famous friendships of
history. Graphically he depicted the
loyalty OF Jonathan to David despite
the fact that every material induce
ment tended to draw Jonathan away
from his annointed rival for the
throne. Then with thrilling descrip-
tion Mr.. Vincent narrated the spec
tacular story of Damon and Pythias,
familiar to every Knight of Pythias
but learned anew as the distinguished
speaker threw new lights ON the old
story.
The speaker declared that no man
could have friends unless he showed
a capacity for friendship. No really
selfish man could enjoy true friend

DELTA SHUOOERS
At ROAD EXPENSE

County Commissioers Wilson and
Steele and w. r. Gale went down the
Gunnison river Monday to the Mesa
county line to meet the board of COM
missioners and others of Mesa county
to look over the road proposition at
the request of the secretary of the
chamber of commerce of Grand juno
ton. who has been urged by owners
of automobiles that the counties of
Mesa, Delta and Montrose get to-
gether and build a good road from
Grand Junction to Ouray.
Mr.. Wilson told Tribune man
that 1t would cost several thousand
dollars for Delta to construct decent
road north to the county line, dis
tance of about % miles. The last
five miles of the road toward Mesa
county is very hilly and rocky. Dur
ing the summer frequent heavy rains
and cloudbursts wash out the road
not only on the low mesa but on the
side of the hill making II almost i'm
possible to maintain a good road even
at an annual expense. The county
has not the money to invest in the
enterprise, and even If IL had avail
able road money. complete new
road has to he built from point
NEAR AuSIln through HOtchkiSS and
on to Paonia: road which is used
great deal by our farmers and tax
PAYERS ana one which owing to so
much land being taken up and fenc-
ed makes new road imperative. 1t
Is understood that this is the feeling
also of Commissioner Roberts.
On the Grand Junction road there
are two very deep gulches which
would require concrete culverts and
new grade-these alone would cost
$4,000.
Last spring the county graded the
road and put 1t in good shape for
about seven miles or almost to Aka
II creek. This stream which runs a
great body of water during heavy
| rains in the hills would also be an
expensive proposition. requiring a
high concrete bridge and long grades
leading up to the bridge.
The commissioners, however, are
willing to send force of men down
the road and remove the rocks and
fill the ruts and bad places so that
the road will be temporarily passable
