The Pree Lance says: Friday
morning Frank Meagher, the engineer_at the Sebastopol_mine, Grass
Valley, cut the arteries aud tendons
vf his left wrist; completely severing
ialiof them. The cutting was done
with a razor, and it is supposed for
the purpose of ending bis life. Asa
matter of course the bleeding was
very profuse before a surgeon cculd
be summoned, which leaves the man .
in a very wea condition, Dr,
covich was called’in the case an
took up the arteries, thus putting-a
stop to. the flow of blood. The Dr.
recommended that Meazher be taken
to the County Hospital, where the
attention of experienced nurses can
be constantly had, as there is great
danger of the bloding being renewelat any time.
