HAS SUICIDE EPIDEMIC
AFFECTED THE SOLDIERS
At the Fort Mcpherson Bar.
racks?

Atlanta, Ga, May "a suicide cpl
demic, or something very like it, has
broken out among the soldiers of the
Seventeenth regiment, U. S. infantry,
at Fort Mcpherson, this city.
Three privates have attempted their
lives by drinking carbolc acid within
less than three weeks. Two of them
succeeded, and the third, Hayden
Thurmond, was saved only by the
timely accidental Intervention of a
county police officer.
There is no known dissatisfaction
among the men at the post as a
whole, and their comrades appear to
be as much mystified as the officers.
The theory has been suggested that
the three men had entered some kind
of suicide pact or formed a suicide
club, but this speculation is based on
