have come out which have kept the
neighborhood of the crime in a fever
of excitement,
The fox hunters, who were all

the hounds and coming up to the
dogs they discovered that they had
run into a drove Of hogs Further

She had been decapitatcd and her
skull was crushed with large rock,
The trunk of the body had been cut
in two One leg was found more

TRIES To HANG
OFFICER COMES
Noah Griffith Often Threat
ened to End Life in
the City Jail.

Fargo. N. D., July s.-An attempt to
hang himself. on the part of Noah
Griffith. who until yesterday afternoon
was held at the city Jail because OF
mental arrangement, was frustrated
just in time by Desk Sergeant konen,
who discovered the man in a semi
conscious condition.
Griffith has been threatening to take
his life ever since his confinement, and
on several occasions he has begged for
a knife or something with which he
might make short work of It,"
The mans ramblings were not TAX
en- seriously until the sergeant hap
pened to look into his cell to see how
he was coming along, and discovered
that he had tied a bed blanket around
his throat and fastened the other end
to the top of his cell and was in such
IN attitude that he was slowly strang-
ling to death.
The sergeant quickly released the
fellow, and he soon revived.
Had he remained in such an atti-
tude but very few minutes longer he
would undoubtedly have been dead
when found.
