HOSPITAL INMATE TRYS TO SUICIDE
Jamestown, Jan 15.—There was an attempted suicide at the City Hospital Thursday night, George Masters who has been at the hospital for care since Tuesday night, trying to take his life, by cutting his throat with a safety razor blade, just after a nurse had left his room after administering medicine to the sick man. A deep gash was inflicted upon one side of the throat, and Masters lost considerable blood, but he was found less than fifteen minutes after by the nurse, still conscious. It took four people to control the delirious patient, but he was overcome and the wound dressed. He is now resting and has a good chance for recovery.

DIED AT STANLY.
Some think from the result of strychnine
Friends Think he was doped.
Adam Black, well to do ranchman of Chilcot, Ward County, was found dead at Stanley yesterday morning. Current reports are that he committed suicide. His brother, County Commissioner Wm. Black, thinks different and will investigate. A telegram received here says he took strychnine, but it is a hard story for his friends to believe. Coroner Crokat went out to investigate.

SHAVED TOO CLOSE
Hugh Klug of Conway will not soon forget an experience he had with the health authorities at Jamestown. Mr. Klug arrived from Conway with the intention of visiting a brother of his at the asylum. He stopped at the Wisconsin house and as his face looked somewhat like that of a person in the early stages of smallpox it was not long before the health officers were on his trail and Sunday he was landed in the detention hospital all by his lonesome. Later he was joined by Attendant Lattimer.
Afterward it was decided that the eruption on Mr. Klung's {sp} face was due to a close shaving and he was allowed to go on his way. He was glad that the case was not one of smallpox. After a visit with his brother he will return to his home at Conway.

Miss Barbara Schillinger, the young girls who was so terribly burned by a kerosene explosion last December at Mandan, will soon be out of the hospital, almost fully recovered from her injuries. At first it was thought impossible to save the young lady, and later doctors believed that one arm would have to be amputated, but careful attention and considerable skin grafting has enabled her to recover completely. The first grafting was done last December when skin was taken from her brother and sister, Anton and Theresa. Most of it took, but some few pieces sloughed and it has been decided necessary to apply just a little more to the left arm. A man living near the Schilinger place kindly consented to give the needed cuticle and the operation was performed Sunday.

Black Hills Incident
Deadwood, March 20—The Pennington Ring sheriff, Caldwell, and posse entered Custer City from Hayward last night for the purpose of arresting Dr. D. W. Flick for being an accomplice to the purloining of county records on the 13th ult. Caldwell, armed with two six-shooters and a knife, this morning went to Flick's house, knocked at the door, and was politely invited inside by the doctor. He entered, and before he could make a movement, Flick had a revolver at his head, and ordered him to throw up his hands. Caldwell complied with the demand, when Flick disarmed him and sent him back to Hayward.
