combination and what he says goes
There are SIS runners in charge of the
famous rider, and under his sktltul
handling last season, he brought his
employer close to the head Of the win
ming owners.
When Stanley Davis left here for
England he was on his way to report
to Sloan. The latter heard a great
deal about DaVis's ability and con-
WINGED Myers that the boy would be
valuable addition to his stable. As Tod
never played with white chips it was
through his advice that Myers offered
Davis a position which will command
q salary of $4,000. Taken in cOnjunc-
ton with outside mounts Davis should
draw down about So 600 during the
coming season
The real idea of obtaining Davis
was that the boy is strictly a money
rider, and that means when the china
alley is down he never stops hustiing
until he hits the line and generally
in advance of his rivals. Now this IS
exactly what Sloan desires. Tod was
always betting tops about here in a
vain effort to retrieve his lost fortune

TRIED TWICE AND

STRING ATTACHED TO Gun FAILS

AT SUICIDE.

LA GRANDE, Ore. Nov. 1S.-Fate
played strange tricks with John Rich
ards before he finally succeeded in
suiciding at Kamela Monday. At least
two attempts to manipulate the trig-
ger of shotgun with a string failed.
This cropped out at the inquest held
yesterday over the body of John Rich>
ards in which the jury arrived at a
verdict of suicide. The deceased was
about 6S years of age and was at the
time of his violent death in the en-
ploy of w. r. Loughlin, for whom he
was cutting wood. The cabin in
which he lived was about three and
a half miles south of Kamela. He
was last seen alive on the morning of
the 10th about S O'Clock. w. +. Lew
Ia neighbor went to the cabin to see
his old friend and found him Ill and
respondent. Lewis then started for
Kamela. where he notified Mr.. Lou
ghlin and both then started for the
cabin, arriving there at 2;20 p. m. On
opening the door they discovered to
their surprise the body of the lonely
wood cutter with his head propped
against the old stove. A bloody razor
lay on the floor and a shotgun with
the muzzle pointing towards the head
was beside him. The evidence as
brought out at the inquest seems TO
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-11-13

have esta ablished the fact that he had
first attempted TO shoot himself. This
was evident from the fact that the
shell in the gun showed the mark Of
the firing pin. In his PROSTATE po-
sition he had tied string to the trig-
ger of the gun and pulled but the
cartridge did not explode. He then
repeated the same act but the string
seems to have slipped from the trig-
ger for the gun was cooked and the
string lay at the side of the gun. Fail
ing in his attempt to shoot himself
he evidently became disgusted and
had recourse to the razor cutting his
throat about four inches sufficient to
produce death. But small quantity
of blood issued from the wound. The
room showed no signs of violence. He
had apparently just crawled out of
bed. for he lay there in his undergar-
ments Men who knew him state that
he had many friends in Kamela. that
he was honest to fault and that he
harmed no one. In the pockets of his
overalls examiners found $40, ap-
parently all of the earthly goo\s that
he possessed.
