MRS. STENHOUSE SEEKS DEATH
IN RIVER, But Is SAVED.

While Mrs. Annie Stenhouse, 90,
32S Seguin Street, paced back and
forth on the deck of the ferry boat
Thomas Pickles shortly after the ves-
sci left its Algiers moorings at s
o'clock Tuesday evening, two uniden-
titled white men kept watch over her.
Mrs. Stenhouse was seen to ap-
preach the rail on the starboard side
of the ferry. The two men got close
to her and when Mrs. Stenhouse
started to scale the rail for the pur-
pose of leaping into the river, the two
men grabbed her. Mrs. Stenhouse
then became almost hysterical. She
said she had family troubles and
wished to end her life. She was held
until the arrival of friends, who took
her to her home. The two men who
prevented Mrs. Stenhouse from carry
ing out her act disappeared without
giving their names.
