MIR. CHAs. Fry, a German who has
been employed at Gauterts bakery for
some time past, shot himself in the head
yesterday morning, at about $50 o'clocd,
in his room at the house of Mr.. Gautert.
1t seems that Fry had been drinking, and
being one of the parties who broke the
glass window at Renters bakery few
nights ago, was arrested made pay fine,
which took all of his money. That and
his girl going back on him is the suppos-
| ed cause.
