JUMPED IN JAMES i
FROM MAYO’S BRIDGE
Mamie Smith Tried in Vain to
-Tvtr4 4Ier Life- Sunday
Afternoon.
Tired of life. Miss Maude Smith,
a young and comely woman living at
101 West Fifth streat. South Rich
mond, tried to commit suicide Sun
da> afternoon by Jumping from
Mayo's bridge. That she did not
succeed in her attempt is due partly
to the fact that the water was very
deep beneath the point ahe laft the
bridge, and further, that Mr. Frank
Glannotti. who, with a party of i
friends In the river, quickly rowed to I
her assistance. She was resuscitated
before the. arrival of the ambulance J
in charge of Dr. Hagan.
In a gemi-conscloua condition, the
young woman was taken to her home, |
but declined to tell any one why she
tried to end her life. She did any.
however, that she had taken an aw-I
tomobile ride in the afternoon with!
a man whose name she did not know |
and that she afterwards started back :
to South Rieftmond in company with
a young man whose name she would
not divulge.
When she Jumped from the bridge
into the deep water of James river
her companion shouted to Mr. Olan
nottl and his-friends in the boat and
then hurried to a telephone and noti
fied the police and the ambulance.
Patrolman Waymack was on the i
scene within a short time and the
ambulance arrived while the young
woman was being revived in a house
boat on the south bank of the stream. '
After having notified the police ,
and ambulance and seen that Mias
Smith would recover, the young man ,
disappeared, and his name was not
learned by the police. Later, though, j
it was said some action would be t
taken by the officers In an effort to ,
learn all of the details concerning (
the attempted suicide.

Everywhere in the stricken Stales j
he flames have gained a foothold in j
he government forest reserves and
lundreds of rangers, assisted by Fed - j
ra! troops, appear powerless to check,
hem. In the stricken districts, espe- j
ially around Wallace, reports show ;
hat hundreds of families whose homes 1
cere destroyed have fled to the open i
without food or mean* of getting any, '
The condition of these people >• piti- •
able. Arrangement* are being made
to-day in Montana and Idaho to Uuiry :
supply trains to these people with sup
plies, but the railroad lines are so
badly crippled by the fire* that in
many places it will be Impossible to
afford relief,
So deeperate has the situation be- j
come In the two States most affected
that Governor Norris, of Montana, and I
Governor Krady. of Idaho, are plan- j
ning to unite in a petition to President j
Taft demanding further Federal aid.
The Ignited States troupe In the two
States and the Northwest are not near- j
ly adequate, it is aaid. to cope with
the flames, and the president will prob
ably be asked to hurry eoidiers from
more distant points to the scene to j
fight a menace that has already become 1
the greatest in the history of the
American Northwest.
Governor Brady and Governor Nor
ris have both dropped all other duties
and are personally supervising their t
States' measures lor relief.
tomiJftWj Surrounded.
1-eter reports indicate that, if any
thing. the situation is more serious
throughout the stricken States than
yesterday. A little more than half of
Wallace was destroyed, according to
the latest messages, and the male
residents of the city are making a des
perate tight against the flames in the
other half. It was estimated by ne*«- j !
paper men to-day that not more than
one-third of the city would be sav**d !
The most alarming development of 1
the day, however, was In the St. Grots
district, near the Idaho-Montana line, i
Two hundred forest rangers were i
completely surrounded by Are there,
according to last reports, with little!
hope of escape. Their water supply I
*’•» said to be cut off, preventing
them from making an adequate tight j
against the flames In spite of these
alarming dispatches, however, it Is be
lieved Try Tnftny here ~t hey are exag-7
gerated, and that some, at least, of the
exposed rangers will escape.
The plight of the rangers was re
ported by one of their number yes
terday. The Are approached their
camp so rapidly that the chief of the I
rangers ordered hi* men to ride to a 1
nearby camp and hurry rescuers. The ■
ranger rode the hors* until It dropped
dead and then staggered Into the '
nearest camp with the news a rescue
party is reported to have found eigh
teen of the rangers standing in the
bed of a small creek, but at last re
ports had not located the others.
Fights against the flames around Mul
lan. Elk City and Coeur D'Alene City,
Idaho, are progressing to-day, but the
fighters are discouraged, and have not
succeeded in preventing the fires from
spreading.
H«t Enough -Hen.
There are not one-third enough avail
able men to fight the fires, and unless
fire fighters or more soldiers are Im
ported from more distant points it is
feared the threatened towns wilt have
to he left to their fate, and the hope
of settlers will have to be pinned on
the prospect of rain. Even a rain
fall unless It Is unprecedentedly heavy
will hardly check the flames. It is
feared, because of headway they have
already gained.
Throughout Montana the situation
Is still more critical. The entire west
ern part of that State Is enveloped In
k pall of dense smoke, and the In
habitants sre panic-stricken. Taft
has been abandoned to 1U fate, and
11 test reports not enough of the town
n-ae left standing to show that it had
»nee been a promising settlement. De
Borgia and St. Regia ara now in great
wlth little prospect of saving
thsm- Several persons are reported
missing from both of these towns, and
from Taft, and their fate win prob
ably not be known until the fires
abate.
From the Idaho line more than fifty
miles eastward the country Is one set

Pine and Belknap.
Much railroad property has been
