TO GET
ACROSS STYK
Man Attempts Three Times, by Dif
ferent Methods, to Take His Own
life Falls Utterly on Every At
temptWill Bo 3cnt to Insane
Asylum In Salem.
If J. M. Rollins ever succeeds in
taking bin own life he must uhu some
other method beside lenpiuir from a
fust train, laying his bead on a rail
in front of an engine or taokliug an
electric light wire.
All throe of those methods he has
tried within thu past two days, and
none proved uffuutivu.
Sunday afternoon Itollina was a
passenger from Weed, Cal., on tho
second section of No. lii. About two
miles from Ashland ho suddenly
dovu headforemost through an open
window while thu train was running
at a high rate of speed. Tho train
ran on into Ashland and a party
was sunt out to look for him. Na
turally supposing that his body would
bo found along thu truck, tho search
ers confined their operations to tho
right of way. Meanwhile Koliins,
who had not been faoriously hurt, had
crawled into thu bushes. That night
ho madu his way to Ashland, and thu
next seen of him was when thu uu
giueur of a lreight almost had a
spasm when ho saw a man's head
lying across tho rail in front of tho
locomotivo( so oloso that ho couldn't
stop. Thu engine hit him, but simply
knocked him off tho track. Ho was
then taken to tho poor farm for
treatment. Monday afternoon he u-
caucd, grabbed a ladder, set it
against ono of thu electric light
poles, climbed the ladder and tho
polu and seised ono of thu wires,
Luckily for Rollins it wasn't thu high
tension ono, but it had enough juice
to knock ltollins off thu polu to thu
ground. That settled tho poor farm
authorities, so Hollins was bent to
Jacksonville.
"1 don't know why I did tho.bo
things," (mid ltollins, "but I know
that 1 did do them. Something seem
ed to force mo. I hnvo been in ill
health for somo time, and thu thing
started whilo I was working on a
farm near Weed. Oao night I im
agined I hoard voices outside my tent
und bucamo convinced that somebody
was aftur mo. 1 know it could not
bu truo, but could not get rid of thu
impression. I thoueht I would go
away. Tho impulse came upon mu
to jump through tho car window and
I did it. Also tho other things I did
came on suddenly. I was insane, and
may bu so again. A few mouths'
treatment in tho hospital may bring
mo out nil right."
A peculiar feat mo of tho case was
that Hollins seemed perfectly ra
tional in his conversation and re
membered ovory incident of his nd
vonturus. lie will bu taken to tho iiisnno asy
lum as soon as an attendant arrives.
