Crawford Attempts Suicide Again

r. Clay Crawford is recovering from
a second attempt to commit suicide at
his room at the Hotel Oregon last Sat
urday. A bullet from revolver left
only a bad scalp wound. The blow
however felled Crawford and he was
bruised about the head and back from
the fall against a table A quantity of
iodine was also found in his room.
Crawford three weeks ago attempted
his life in Minneapolis, shooting him
self in the left breast. The bullet was
detected by a rib. Dependency over
his involved affairs and an estrange-
ment of his wife has been given as
reason for the acts on both occasions.
Crawford is held here under bail
pending action of the grand jury on a
charge of securing funds by false pre-
lenses from William Bailey, principal
of the high school.

While most of the hauling of apple
boxes. spray material and strawberry
crates is done today by motor truck.
many small ranchers still use teams in
the TRANSFORMATION of material, and the
city street department has been busy
laying a coat of oil bound gravel on
Third street. The thoroughfare. very
steep and paved with concrete, is
without a rough surfacing. Horses are
unable to draw heavy loads up the hill.
The slippery street, too, results in
many injuries to horses.
