YOUXti (ilKL ATTEMPTS SUICII
Tries to Hang Herself After Heii
Taken Into Custody by Town
Authorities.
A slip of a girl giving her name
Alice McLendon of Red Springs,

Dillon county jail Sunday night. T.1
girl was being held by the town a

who is onl3' or 17 years of a
came to town a few days in advan
of the carnival and when the can
val arrived she said she was goii
to join the carnival and travel wi
it. Her concoct was such that s]
came under the surveillance of tl
police. It was alleged that she w
sleeping in box cars or any other pla
where she could get protection fro
,the chill night air, and Sunday mor
jing Mayor Hamer had her placed
the county jail upon the promise
her relatives that they would cot:
and get her.
The girl protested vigorous
against being held in this manner ai
lit is presumed that she brooded ov
jthe matter until she decided in a
e\f onirer tn flpRtrOV herself. She ti'
a scarf around her neck and pull
it into a tight knot cutting off t
blood and air circulation. Fortunate
she was discovered before life w
extinct,- although when found s
iwas in an unconsci us condition. I

The girl appears to be a profession
tramp. Although of tender years s
appears hardended and while in ci
tody used such violent language th
she shocked the sensibilities of t
officers. She belongs to the class
unfortunates that make up the fl<
sam and jetsman of the human tit
and when her relatives failed to p
iin an appearance she was taker
custody by Probate Judge Davis w
will no doubt send her to a resc
orphanage.

ne j of conniving with bandits who kid j
napped and held him for a $150,000 c

nd | Situation Serious. a
cr | No attempt was made to conceal the !.
fit! feeling that the situation was serious
ed and that relations betwen the United t
ed states and Mexico were strained. Of- t
he ficials said the three departments, a
dy State, War and Navy, were ready to
ar meet any eventuality and deal with
he;any situation arising out of a more
)r- defiant attitude by the Carranza ad^r
ministration toward the United States
ia*1 In the absence of advices from the

at j ports coming by way of Laredo, Tex.,

"In order that our patients may rejceive
the proper nursing and care," t

resembles a junk pile. The office worfc
is carried on by shifting machines
