ATTEMPTS TO END LIFE

William Dunstan attempted to
end his life last night at about ten
o'clock by placing a rope around
his neck and jumping from the sec-
ond story Of Thompson's livery sta
blc. Several men in ihc office heard
the thud of Dunstan's falling body
and rushed out where they found
him dangling from the end of a
rope. They removed the rope
from about his neck and found
him uninjurcd except a little skin
was knocked off about his neck.
Dunstan was arrested and locked
up. 1t is probable that a charge
OF attempted self destruction will
be placed against him. No known
reason is stated for his rash act
but desDondoncy is supposed to be
responsible.
