ATTEMPTED SUICIDE-
A Crn.y Mini tabn Himself stud Tlien
luiniH Into the Columbia.
About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Frank Seufert telephoned to Sheriff Kel
ly tiiat an unknown man had jumped
into the Columbia river at a point be
tween one and two miles below Celilo.
The stranger had entered the kitchen
of the Seulert mess'house near that
place and, grasping an ax and butcher
knife, had threatened the cook's life and
driven that functionary from the build
ing. Then with the knife the man had
cut tt gaBti in his right wriBt as if to
sever an artery, following this by cut
ting another gash in his right arm and
stabbing himself in the left breast in
the region of the heart. Thus bleeding
as if to death and stripped of everything
but his trousers and shoe9 he made n
dash for the river and jumped into the
seething rapids thirty to forty feet be
low. It waB at iirst supposed that the man
was inevitably lost, but after some
search further down the riv.er Mr.
Seufert and his men were agreeably
surprised to find that the stranger had
survived the plunge and had clambered
onto a ledge of rock that jutted a little
way into the river at the foot of an
almost perpendicular rocky bluff. When
Deputy Sheriffs Sexton and Woods ar
rived at the place in less than an hour
later they found the man still on the
ledge of rock and fast asleep. Crawling
down with dilliculty to wiiere the man
was they waked him and persuaded him
to accompany them back to the top of
llio bluff, where ho suddenly became
violent and tried to break away towards
the river. He was with dilliculty hand
cuft'ed and leg-ironed, when he was
wrapped in a blanket and brought to
own in spite of persistent attempts to
jump out of the wagon. This morn
ing he was examined by Dr. Logan and
pronounced insane. Ho will be taken
to Salem tomorrow morning by Messrs.
Sexton and Woods.
The man at iirst gave his name as
George Anderson, but afterwards refused
to say if this was hiB name. He appears
to be about 35 years of age and claims
that he was discharged a month ago
from the army at the Presidio. He was
well dreesed, wore an Elgin gold watch
and had $3.S5 in his pockets. He claims
to he a native of Idaho and to have been
on his way there. His controlling hal
lucination is that people are trying to
kill him.

large number of very handsome and
valuable presents.

LoctHl anil Historical.
Those who were fortunate enough to
be included among the guests at Mrs. J.
T. Peters' yesterday afternoon, will al
ways remember the occasion as one ot
the memorial stones along life's path
way, commemorating an interval' of half
a century, since the guest of honor, Mrs.
E. M. Wilson, mother of the hostess,
first arrived in Oregon April 30, 1851 ;
one of a band of five teachers for far-off
Oregon, which state then touched the
Rockies on the east, California on the
south and the British line on the north .
Although Mrs. Wilson did not spend
many years in the school room, yet her
influence has been of inestimable value
through all the years in the growth of
educational matters throughout the
state.
After a few minutes spent in conver
sation, tho guests were entertained by
very pleasant program, consisting of
vocal and instrumental music and one
recitation. Every number was more
than usually well rendered. We shall
only make special mention of the first,
as it was little Miss Helen Peters in a
piano duet with her mother.
One feature, entirely unexpected to
one of the party present, was the pre.
sentation of a silver dish to Mrs. E. M.
Wilson, the gift of the ladies present.
Alter a few words of response, Mrs. Wil-
eon, by request, gave a very interesting
account of some things in those early
days, and how they differed from now.
The talk was enjoyed by those present
who had been partakers with Mrs. Wil
son in the events narrated, bringing bo
fore them scenes of by-gone years, and
to those of later years it was as a chap
ter from an old Chronicle.
It is needless to say Mrs. Peters, who
always entertains so beautifully, did j
not forget the more commonplace mat-,
ters of decorutions, refreshments, etc.
The beautiful dogwood blossoms spoke
for the first, and the toothsome viands
for the second. I
Just before leaving, eacli guest was I
given a souvenir card on which was a '
picture of the first school house in which :
Mrs. Wilson began her labors. The !
pictures were the work of Mrs. Peters.

It is hardly necessary to remark that it
was a noisy, nterry, happy crowd that
throngu 1 the Joles mansion when tho
fun opened witii a guessing game en
titled "A Floral Tale," in which each
young lady was presented with a card
containing fourteen questions all re
lating to love, courtship or marriage, of
course and each to be answered, by the
name of n flower. The contest created
lots of fun, and the prize, a magnificent
bunch of carnations, was captured by
Mis9 Bernio Schooling, anil tho booby,
a tiny nursing hottle, was awarded to
Miss Rosie Buchler.
Next followed a musical guessing
game, in which Miss Prudence Patterson
played two bars each of twelve different
familiar tunes and the young ladies
guessed the names of the pieces. In
this game the first prize, a piece of mu
sic, was won by Miss Loto Kelsay, and
tiie booby, a little whistle, bv Miss
Waeco Morris.
Following the games ice cream and
