Brower Attempts
Suicide by Hanging
Miss Edith H rower, the young girl who
was shot by her brother, Charles, one
night last November at the 1J rower ranch
while in company with her lover, Frank
Augustine, attempted suicide by hanging
last Tuesday and but for the timely arrival
of Policeman Cal Cox, would have doubt
less been successful. The girl secured a
ropo and quietly slipped out to the barn,
but her mother, Mrs. L. N. Browcr, see
ing the actions of her daughter, followed
her to the barn. The girl threatened vio
lences to her mother who then called for
assistance. Officer Cox was soon on the
grounds ard took Edith into custody, She
was arranged before Judge Berry and
bound over to the district court in the sum
of $2oo, as witness and accomplice of Aug
ustine. The girl is only sixteen years of ago but
the unfortunate being is wrapped up in
troubles too heavy for her tender years
and it seems that she attempted to rid her
self of life's mistakes by shuffling off this
mortal coil. She asserts her affections for
the man who caused her all this trouble
and is determined to marry Augustine,
who occupies a cell in the county jail in
which she is held.
The whole aflair is disgusting, but
human sympathy cannot but go out to one
of such tender years whose life is blighted.
She is being guarded carefully that her de
sire of self destruction may not be accomplished.
