Daring Leap From Bridge Made by
Shackled Convict.
West Point, Ga., May 10.—John Mc
Cann, a white man serving a 15-day
sentence on the roads here, made a
desperate leap from the bridge which
spans the Chattahoochee river at this
point, diving forty feet before striking
the water. Notwithstanding the fact
that the man was shackled, he swam
half a mile down stream before he was
overtaken by officers in a gasoline
launch. It is said that McCann had ob
jected to being shackled, and had stated
to the guards that he would take his
ife. It is not known whether the per
ilous leap was taken in an effort to
commit suicide, or whether it was an
effort to escape. If the latter. McCann
is possessed of plenty of nerve. Fully
dressed as he was, and with shackles
on, his leap was a spectacular one.
Lived 152 Years.
Wm. Parr—England’s oldest man-
married the third time at 120, worked
in the fields until 132 and lived twenty
years longer. People should be youth
ful at 80. James Wright, of Spurlock,
Ky., shows how to remain young. “I
feel just like a 16-year-old boy,” he
writes, “after taking six bottles of
Electric Bitters. For thirty years kid
ney trouble made life a burden, but
the first bottle of this wonderful medi
cine convinced me 1 had found the
greatest cure on earth.” They’re a
godsend to weak, sickly, rundown or
old people. Try them, 50c. at all drug
gists.
—Gen. F. D. Grant, in a lecture be
fore the Chicago Y. M. C. A. on “To
tal Abstinence,” said: “The reason
that I urge total abstinence in all
young men is because that when a man
gets drunk only once in a while, he al
ways chooses the wrong time.”
