HORRIBLE SUICIDE-A Man CUTs Orr HIS
OWN HEAD AND HIDES IT-Our Coroner,
yesterday morning, held an inquest on the
body-we insist on his word-on the body
of an unknown man, fou ID in the room
of house on a street of suburb in this
city.
The unfortunate victim had, few DAYS
ago, hired a suite OF rooms, and not hay-
ing been seen si.Ice he entered them, the
intelligent freedwoman who plays lands
lady over the premises, suspecting some
thing wreng, sent for the police, when, the
door being forced open, a horrible specta-
Gle was discovered The headless body
of the man was lying in state in his own
bed n suspicion of murder at once
arose IN the minds of the spectators, and
the Coroner was sent for, who notwith-
standing appearances, at once expressed
his opinion that the death was the result,
not of a murder, but of suicide, and, while
looking over the body, a letter was found
IN the hands of the victim, fully iustify>
ing the Coroner convictions. The letter
ran thus:
Il have put an end to my own life-I
was tired of existence in this un1ratetul
land-and ! lett it of my own free will
There Is money in my drawer sufficient
to pay my funeral expenses, As to my
name, try not to discover it. TO prevent
Identification, Ihare hidden my head tChere

in the afternoon, leaving her at home
with the baby Calling on some friends,
their stav was prolonged till after dark
The girl relates that Just after dusk, being
in the basement she heard noise up

turned, she went gently up stairs and
peeped in, when in the dusk she discov-
cred thief, helping himself to her en-
plover's goods Without raising any
alarm. she locked the door. thus prevent

The gentleman, on his return, learned
the state of affairs, and arming himself
with club, entered the room and attacked
the robber, who was driven down the
stairs. out into the street, without much
of the booty which 1t was evident be en-

being somewhat isolated, and the whole
affair having taken place with but little
excitement, the neighbors were not
alarmed. But what was the astonishment
of the family in the morning, on rising,
to find the burglar lying but few rods
from the house dead having died without
doubt. from the wounds received tho night
before. The body Of the dead burglar
has not yet been identified. The excite

In Utah, according to Brigham Young
laws, when man joins his church, ones

support of it, and one-tenth of all the an
nuai profits Of the remainder If the
man has no property one-tenth of his la
bor has to go to the church one-ten- h Of
every trade or occupation has to be rep
resented; and if a man should be idle
thirty days, the tithing man claims the
profits of three days labor, on the ground
that no one has right to idle away three
days belonging to the Lord In addition
to this, there are federal territorial, coun-
ty and town taxes, which are sufficient, of
themselves, to reduce one to poverty
What becomes of ali this money no one
knows, for no public statement of the fl
