Many a poor detected person, made
so by economic conditions, seeks
sympathy in confessing their pre-
mediations on suicide. The surest
cure for these creatures is to sympa-
thize with their intentions, yes, aid
them, or pretend to. The result is
usually that they are too cowardly
to do so. After all, can he who has
fulfilled every beside in life no longer
find enjoyment in his surroundings?
In this alone I find a world of jUsti-
ficatiOn for suicide.
People in their announcement of
suicide are apt to pronounce it as be-
ing a case of insanity.

NEGRO BEATS WAY
TO Freedom

Three negroes were dubbed with
the same beer bottle last night in a
saloon near the old depot, and a negro
named Reed is said to hav. been the
one who used the weapon so skilfully,
for he beat John Bolden, Cliff Bedside
and Geo. Malichi on the head alter
ratelv, and thus fought his way to
the street. He made his escape, tax
ing 4 cross-lot course when Motor
cycle Officer Harper struck his trail
north Of AIcaniz street. The last seen
Of the negro was when he leaped a
fence on the east side of Alcaniz
street between Belmont and LaRua
and went for the back lots.
It is understood that the negroes
had trouble in the rear of the place
where the trouble started, and Reed
adopted the means above referred to
to fight his way to liberty.
