INCIDENTS

92-96 - Theodore Roosevelt (North Dakota) - Attempted Suicide

While hiking in the backcountry in the park's North Unit on the morning of
the 26th, B.F., 32, a Swedish national, employed his hunting knife
to cut his left wrist in a suicide attempt.  When that failed, he decided to
instead seek help and hiked about two miles to a campground telephone. 
Ranger Shirley Hoh and a McKenzie County sheriff responded.  B.F. was
transported to a local hospital for treatment, and is currently being held
for observation.  [Telefax from Bob Powell, THRO, 3/30]
