JUMPS FROM BIG BRIDGE Unknown Man Commits Suicide Salem on Monday, July 4. at An unknown man of about middle age committed suicide Monday after noon by jumping from the steel bridge at Salem. The body has not been found, though the liver was dragged for several hours. Only a very in definite description can be given, but it is known that he was over medium weight,bald on the top of the head and wore a white braided straw hat, a white shirt with red stripes, a black vest and no coat. Several persons crossing the bridge saw the man leaning over the rail, but as there was nothing unusual about him they did not notice him particularly. Suddenly, when no one was near, he sprang over the rail and fell 50 feet to the water. He soon came to the surface, and a boat started to his assistance. He swam away from the boat, and frequently let himself sink, as though trying to drown. Be fore the boat could reach him he sank for the last time. He is supposed to have been a stranger in Salem. LATER : It developed late Tuesday afternoon that the unknown man who jumped from the high steel bridge across the Willamette Eiver and drowned after swimming away from three men in a boat who tried to res cue him was J. A. Eotan, a former business man of Salem.
