A man whose name is believed to be George Seisling attempted. suicide by leaping from the high bridge atj St. Paul 150 feet to the river below. Inhabitants of the Upper Levee heard him groaning and saw his body on a sandbar. A former policeman no- | tified police headquarters and squads } of men were detailed to the scene| from Central and Ducas stations. The first officers to arrive at thej scene broke open a boathouse, got a} boat and set out for the bar. Tossing ; aside their heavy coats the officers pulled with all their might out to the little island. There the man was | ; found unconscious. The man was taken to the City hos- Pital, where it was said his condition was critical because of apparent in- ternal injuries. The police think he must have} struck open water and floated to the gsandbar, as the drop to the bar must | | necessarily have broken every bone in | his body. | i eee werees _ MILLION DOLLAR SUIT ENDS| Land and Cash Transfer Closes Noted Civil Action.
