-A. Swede, named John OLESEN, attempted suicide last Saturday, in the swamp east of the village, where he remained till Monday morning, when he made his way to Peters' camp on the Wainewright place, and was found by the men, sitting on some sleighs, presenting a horrible spectacle. His throat was cut squarely accross in front, severing the windpipe and showed a gash about three inches in length, which gaped wide open, and with the clotted blood on his person, and his ghastly look, from its loss, was enough to frighten anyone. A surgeon and officers were called, and after dressing the wound and the taking of his statement by Justice McELROY he was removed to the jail. He said through an interpreter, that Friday night, in the village, he learned that he was charged with crime, and that the officers were after him, and that he made the attempt on his life to avoid the penalty of the law, although he was innocent of crime. His recovery is doubtful. (26 Dec 1895)-OLESEN, the man who cut his throat last week, died Thursday morning. (2 Jan 1896)
