ATTEMPTED SUICIDE-

Wellington Shot Heme IT Last
. BTcnloe anU May Xle. .
Rose Wellington, mistress of a bouse
of ill fame on the alley nearly back of
the Midway saloon, ehot herself in one
of the rooms of her resort about 9 o'clock
last evening, with probably fatal result.
She had left her own room, stating to a
young man who was there that she
would return in a short time. Instead,
she went to another room, vacant at the
time, and shot herself in the breast with
a 32- caliber Smith & Wesson revolver.
The wound was an ugly one, the shot
entering her breast about three inches
below the nipple. It missed the apex of
the heart by a narrow margin, but
penetrated the left . lung and perhaps
her stomach.
The young man and a sister of the
wounded woman ran to her upon hear
ing the shot, both arriving at about the
same time. She was found to be con
scious, and has bo remained since until
about 2 o'clock, when she began sinking
into a stupor. This may be the effect of
quinine she was given, but the physician
believes her chances for recovery are
slight. The cauee of the act is said to
be jealousy or the result of a quarrel.
Her tendencies may be suicidal, bow
ever, for the same spirit is shown in her
sister, who has now made two attempts
at taking' her life.
Her mother was telegraphed for, and
arrived on tbe noon train from a vicinity
near Portland, from whence the daugh
ters formerly came to The Dalles. The
girl Is about 22 years old and was quite
comely until ruined by dissipation.
Tillman Was Picked Up.
Tillman, in his Pendleton address,
challenged any Republican to meet him
in joint debate, stating be had made at
tempts ever since the beginning of the
campaign to secure joint debates with
Republicans, but had failed. At tbe
close of the afternoon epeakine, .Lot
Livermore, after consultationwitb other
members of the Republican county cen
tral committee and John C. Leasure of
Portland, made tbe following proposi
tion: "John. C. Leasure of Portland
will divide time" with you at the court
house this evening, if agreeable to you,
as follows ; You to open the meeting,
speak for one hour or less,- if you desire,
Mr. Leasure to follow, and be limited to
one hour and a half, you to have an
hour to close." . - .
The reply to the challenge was that
the evening meeting was intended for
Francis Clarno, whose time be 'could
not consistently dispose of. Several
communications passed ' without avail
Tillman asked Leasure to debate nex
day at La Grande.' Leasure refused.
Tonne Hendersnott's Return.
Detective Cody last night returned
from The Dalles, bringing, with him
Orville Hendershott, the young would-be
self-murderer, wanted here on two
charges of forgery and one tor obtaining
goods under false pretenses, says the
Portland Telegram.

thrown upon the world without a guid
ing hand, and is more a subject for com
miseration, in certain respects, than se
vere condemnation. On his trip down
e was a' trifle commun'cative with
the officer having him in charge. The
youth confessed to forging the orders on
Eggert & Young, the shoedea ers, and in
Watson's check- restaurant, because he
was shoeless and hungry, without means
or employment to obtain these neces
saries. He says that after he awoke to
a realization of .what be had done, he
wanted to kill himself, and he is 'sorry
that he was not successful.
"Hendershott is' not a natural crimi
nal," remarked a detective , who is
as close a student of human nature as
any man of his calling, "and here is a
chance for true CbtiBtian spirit to come
to the front and do something for a boy,
who wight not .possibly, but may prob
ably yet become a good -man if eome one
would take him in band. Did my in
come warrant it, I'd just risk it upon
turning a good man out of this boy who's
had no chance in life, so far."
The defendant, when called in the
municipal court yesterday, had bis
examination passed till Saturday.
