ATTEMPTS SUICIDE TO SAVE HIMSELF
John Smith, Cascade Tunnel Track Walker.
Says he Had to Kill Himself to Keep
from Being Burned Alive

Says he Had to Kill Himself to Keep
From Being Burned Alive
A track walker, giving the name of
John Smith, was brought to this place
Wednesday afternoon from Cascade
Tunnel suffering from badly slashed
throat. DR.. Hoxsey looked over the
man and dressed his wound, which will
not prove fatal.
To reporter for The Echo Mr..
Smith said: I am 81 years old and
have worked in the tunnel for the past
nine months, and have never had any
trouble with any one; but there was
gang Of Italians working there and for
some reason or other they threatened to
tie me on raft, set fire to my clothes
and send me down the river. Rather
than face such a death ! decided it
would be better to take my own life. 4"
Mr.. Smith is no doubt suffering from
dementia, but upon other subjects is
rational.
A rusty pocket knife was used to in
hict the wound.
He was placed in the care OF Depu-
ty Sheriff Hamilton, who took him to
Wenatchee to have his sanity investi-
gated.

army officers.

The executive committee in charge
of the organization of central selling
agency for Northwest fruits will hold a
meeting in the near future to decide on
the next step. In view Of the fact that
several districts refused to take part in
the cooperative movement OF the grow
ers, an effort has been made to convey
the idea that the Central Selling Agency
is on the rocks" as some papers have
put it. These reports emanate from
jobbers and big handlers of fruits, whose
business would be cut into should the
growers get together to distribute their
own products. Chairman H. w. Otis
OF Peshastin says the movement will be
kept alive because enough districts gave
it their Endorsement to prove that II is
meritorious. A working organization
will probably not be effected to handle
any part of this years crop, but Mr..
Otis believes that by next fall when the

The summary manner in which Gov.
M. E. Hay removed Col. Otto A. Case
and Col. George B. Lamping from
the Washington National Gaurd is max
him the subject Of severe criticism.
For some time, there has been more or
less personal difference between these
officers, and the governor instead OF 60
ing to the bottom of the affair and as
certaining the right and wrong, adopted
the easiest course-that OF discharging
both men. The result is that the
friends OF each are incensed. Adher-
ents OF Col. Case declare that in view
of the rumors that the Colonel expects
to be candidate for governor at the
forthcoming primaries, Gov. Hay took
this means to attempt to discredit him.
Notwithstanding, Col Case has been
declared the ablest field officer in the
Washington Guard by many regular
army officers.
