Jrt years ago A. B. Jones came to Ore

that name. By industry In the next nine
years he accumulated property which he
gold In 1SSS for JtfOO. ar.d with the pro
ceed he went to Alaska and began
mining In the vicinity of Fairbanks.
Since then he has made and lost for
tunes. Wten eniccessfuU he reinvested
his means in mining- operations, only to
play a losing game for time. At length,
after 11 years- absence, he has returned
to Oregon without a fortune, but with
funds enough to buy a moderately com
fortable home. On going to Hood River
a few days since to see a tew of his
old friends he ascertained that the
market value cf 1:1s former holdings was
more than J100.COO.

sister for ten days. Letters exhibited
by Flcklln's friends here show them to

Repairs Needed on McInttre's Hill.
The recent rains caused nome damage to
the Mount Hood road, but the bad places
began drying up yesterday. Mclntyre's
Hill, a short distance beyond the station
which bears that name, was rendered Im
passable by the mufl that poured down
on the grade. It was the only place be
tween Portland and the Toll Gate where
an automobile could " not get through
during the recent storm. There Is a
short stretch at this hill that could be
planked and kept free from mud that
covers the hard-surface to the depth of
13 to 34 inches. There is a great travel
out to the Toll Gate and some of the
members of the Automobile Club say
that they will take up the matter of
having the hill permanently repaired.

Before Others Can Reach
Her Cuts Deep Gash.
Slashing her throat from ear, thereby
half severing her head from her body,
Mrs. Martha T. Jenkins, a middle-aged In
mate of the Crystal Springs Sanatorium,
committed suicide at 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon In the kitchen of that institu
tion in a most Indescribably shocking
manner.
Witnesses of the tragedy were Edna
Robertson and Grace Persfield. nurses em
ployed in the sanatorium, and Mrs. Mary
Brown, a convalescent patient. The deed
was committed in their presence, and
with such haste they w-er left powerless
to do anything to prevent It. They were
horrified at the bloody spectacle and stood
screaming until others rushed to behold
the grewsome scene.
The victim died immediately and Deputy
Coroner Dunning was summoned. The re
mains were removed to the undertaking
establishment of Dunning, McBntee A Gil-
baugh.
The woman's act is one of the most
horrible In the annals of the Coroner's
office, and was done at a time and In a
manner utterly to defeat interference. No
Intimation of It had been given. The
woman had been in the institution for
two and a half years and had recently
been pronounced cured. Fearing to face
the outside world, where she would have
the stigma follow her of having been in
an institution for the Insane, she request
ed the doctors conducting It to find her
employment. They gave her work as a
helper In the kitchen, and she had been
working in that capacity for a number of
weeks.
Accompanied by Mrs. Brown and the
two nurses, she was engaged in waahing
the dishes after the noon meal, when
overcome by the irresistible impulse to
end her life. The other women were but
a few feet from her at the time. Without
a word she grabbed the butcherknife and
viciously slashed its keen edge over her
throat. The stroke severed both Jugular
veins and the windpipe, and the blood
spurted in great gushes over the surround
lngs. She fell to the floor In a pool of
blood and died almost before the others
reached her. The witnesses were almost
thrown Into hysterics by the unnerving.
sight.
Little Is known about the antecedents! of
the euicide by the hospital authorities,
She was committed to the Institution by
tfce United States Government authorities
in Alaska nearly three years ago. She
was a widow 50 years old, but whether
she has relatives or friends living, the
records here do not enow. It is believed
her inability to find a home outside the
Institution so preyed upon her mind that
she determined upon her shocking end.
The remains are being held to await In
structions from the Government author
ities. FLYNN IS NOW EXONERATED
