Dependency.

William Kohlem. an employe Of the
Starr Piano company. living at the
Grand hotel, is being held at the city
Jail following two attempts he made
yesterday to commit suicide by taking
crude carbolic acid. The police be-
Eeve that by Monday Kohlem will no
longer be in a respondent mood and
he will be released then il he promises
to make no further attempt to kill
himself.
. Yesterday morning he purchased
some carbolic acid at Main street
drug store and Jones promptly noti-
fled the police, who took Kohlem into
custody.
About 10 o'clock the man was re-
leased. his foreman inducing him to
return to work at the factory The
police suggested that when he left the
factory at noon it would be good
plan for some one to follow him. This
was done and when he entered another
Main street pharmacy two Of his fel-
low workmen took charge of him i'm
bottle of carbolic acid. Kohlem was
turned over to the police again.
After he had been placed in jail q
bottle formerly containing carbolic
acid was filled with water and given
to Kohlem. Now If you insist on
killing yourself here is your chance"
he was told. but the man did not even
take the cork from the bottle. The
police are now confident he no longer
has any desire to kill himself. The
man informed the police that he has
himself and son who is out of en-
ployment to keep and he became dis
couraged.

Employees Leap From Second
Floor Sleeping Quarters to
Escape Fire, Which De-
stroys So, 900 Building.
ORIGIN IS UNKNOWN
Institution's Fire Department
Unable to Conquer Flames
in Haymow-Fifteen Ami
mails Saved.

An immense barn ON the grounds Of
the Eastern Indiana Insane hospital
was destroyed by fire about 1880
o'clock this morning with q loss Of ap-
proximately $1,000. Several Of the
farm employees Of the institution we're
In their sleeping quarters ON the Sec
ond floor OF the building at the time
Of the fire and the flames spread 20
rapidly that they were forced to jump
cut OF the windows. William Thomp-
son was painfully bruised and expert
enced q severe nervous shock. Ed.
ward Creation was quite badly bruised.
The other men escaped without In
juries.
Flames from the doomed building
brilliantly illuminated the country
side and could be plainly seen by the
inmates In the dormatories. There
was no panic. however. for the attend
ants promptly assured their wards
that they were not in the slightest dam
ger.
Origin 10 Unknown.
The origin Of the fire, which started
in the office Of the farm manager on
the first floor. is not known. There ia
a stove in this room but 1t is not be-
Eeved there was enough fire In It to
have caused any damage. Superfn-
tendent S. E. Smith is inclined to the
belief that a short-circuited wire was
the cause Of the blaze.
All of the fifteen horses In the barn
were rescued and the various vehicles
were removed without any damage BE-
ing done to them. However. most OF
the grain and feed, Of which there was
4 considerable supply, was destroyed.
The fire department OF the institu-
ton fought the flames but with little
success as the blaze was under good
headway when discovered. No call
was sent to the Richmond fire depart
ment for assistance. The building
was constructed Of brick and its floors
