JUMPED TO
HIS DEATH
Colonel Hart Leaped From Moving
Train Into Kivcr Well-Known
Mining Promoter Did Act With
Suicidal Intent, as Proved By
Letters.
Bo i .on, Idaho, Feb. 16. Colonel W.
TbotiMS Hart, of Weiser, today com
mitted suicide by jumping from tho
"Cannon Hall" train when a few milee
roir. Huntington, as it whs crossing the
Snake river. No trace of the body hns
vet lie n found.
Colonel Hart wan one of the must fa
miliar fienres of the inter-mountain
section. He was a promoter of mines,
railways, etc., and had scored many
successes. Hie latest attempt to promote
the Bridgeport fe Helena Railway, to
run from near Huntington, Or., down
tbe Snake 10 Lcwiston, met with failore.
Colonel Hart hac hII along been f up
iiOrfl tnbe in this section in the inteieetH
of the 0 K. ,t N., and when asked the
qiifftion point blank, relbsed to answer.
He lately bus been especially intere-ted
in minim: enterprises at Mineral. It it?
understood he w aa without menus, and
hU friends believe despondency was the
cause of tiie eiiicide. The end (if bin life
was deliberate. He telegraphed friends
at Writer, this morning, that lie would
not bo home today, ending by "See my
letter." He forwarded n letter on the
eame train from which he leaped, which
read :
"J. II. Coakley, Weiser. 1 will com
mit suicide ii8 the morning freight crosses
the railroad bridge. Destroy my paper.
Yours gratefully, W. Thos. Hart."
Mr. Hart wan especially well known
throughout Kastern Oregon and Western
Idaho and all financiers had a friendly
feeling for him. He was a colonel in
the Confederate service. He later was
mamtkur of the Bimetnlllc mine at
1'hilipeburg, Mont., when it whb one of j
the greatest silver producers of the West.
He was born in Georgia. Little is know '
ol hie history because of his extreme
reticence regarding per-omil matters. j

ablu damage was done to the O. It. it N.
Co. 'a bridge and to the property of the
Bridal Veil Lumbering Company and
the Oregon I'ulp & Paper Company, at
this place, last night, by a drilt and
slides forming a dam in the Bridal Veil
Creek about three miles from ttiia point,
and at an elevation of 2000 feet. The
creek is a largo mountain stream, even
in low water, and the heavy rains and
melting enow for the past two days have
made it more than a torrent. The
Brida! Veil Lumbering Company had
the gates to uil its dams wide open early
in tho afternoon, so that the duuiB would
not break, but the drift formed a dam
just above tho sawmill late in the even
ing and broke at 11:.'(0 p, in., taking
everything before it. Great trees, logs,
timbers and rocks came tearing down
over Bridal Veil Falls, taking out several
sections of the Bridal Veil Lumbering
Company's lumber flume and coming up
against the paper mill with such force
that it tore away their 'stack platform
and scattered bales of rags and papers
and barrels of tar all along the banks of
tho creek to tho river. The railroad
bridge over tho creek got the full force
of the Hood and drift, and all the bents
were washed out of the three-track
bridge, The patwmicr trains are being
tranuforred today with very little delay,
and the bridgo will be repaired in a few
hours,
Jt is hard to tell at present the extent
of the damage done to the lumber com
