lie ON GOUAGE CITY
TRIES SUICIDE AND ARSON
Temporarily insane either from'
''dope" or drink, William Ellis of Van j
couver, a second class passenger on
the Cottage City, tried to commit sui
cide Saturday night by leaping over-'
board. He was forcibly restrained
uiwl fought his rescuers with frenzied
maniacal strenght. He was at length
subdued and locked in a stateroom.
He then set fire to the bed clothing
in the stateroom. Another struggle
ensued and Ellis was overcome and
put In irons and delivered to U. S.
.Marshal Shoup when the Cottage City
reached Juneau.
Ellis acted queerly soon after the
boat left Seattle but he gave no
trouble until about 7 o'clock Saturday |
e vening when he suddenly climbed
over the fore rail of the boat and pre-'
pared to leap into the sea. The quar-!
irnna.ster was standing near him and '
I
pulled him back on the deck. Ellis,
promptly grappled with the quarter
master. The first mate, the chief j
.steward and a passenger took a hand
in the game and a desperate fight i
raged 011 deck.
Seizing the chief steward's fingers
in his teeth, Ellis chewed them vigor
ously, while the steward shrieked
with agony. The steward was play
ing in hard luck, for a little later
when he had extricated his digits
from the hungry maw of Ellis, the
first mate swung a vicious right hand
er at Ellis which missed the maniac
and struck the steward on the jaw
felling him ..J the deck.
At last Ellis was overcome and was
dragged to a stateroom on the lower
dock and locked in. A few hours
later a thick cloud of smoke was seen
issuing from the cracks in the door.
The officers ordered Ellis to open the
door, but he refused. The door was
broken down and Ellis, armed with a
water bottle, bounded out, half choked
but full of fight. He got in a few
vicious blows before he was subdued
and double ironed. The fire was ex
tinguished.
He gave no more trouble and was
turned over to the U. S. marshal at
Juneau.
Ellis was a street car employee at
Vancouver. He was bound for Fair
banks.
