HIGHLANDER
TAKES POISON
AFTER WRECK
Frank Trimble Upsets Car on
Turn, Takes Hugs Dose OF
strychnine; Life Hangs IN
Balance at Hospital

Frank L. Trimble, Highlands
rancher, lies in the Pasco hospital
tonight between life and death as
: result of taking strychnine pol
son early Wednesday morning In
= suicide attempt. Reports come
from the hospital this evening that
he has q chance to live.
Trimble was returning to his
ranch home somewhat after mid
night, evidently travelling at a high
rate of speed. In attempting TO
turn the corner at the top of the
hin. his car rolled over, landing on
its top. Passers by shortly after
the accident pulled him out OF the
car and took him to his residence,
! short distance away. He was APP
parently not much hurt in the ac-
cident.
Police were notified of the ac-
cident and went to his home after
him. State Patrolman Carnahan
brought Trimble to town, where he
was examined again for injuries.
Shortly after Trimble called for a
doctor, claiming he had taken poi
SON. Skeptical, the police return
ed to his home where they found
the nearly empty bottle of poison,
finding he had swallowed about a
teaspoonful, between Is and 30
grains.
Both local doctors being out OF
town a Pasco physician was sum-
moned and the stricken man was
taken to the hospital where he has
been suffering since. In his lucid
intervals he still wants to die, ac-
tcording to reports.
