man had either accidentally shet himself or at
tempted suicide, at tho corner Of Myrtle and
North Capitol streets. When officers reached the

TWO THEORIES.
From conversations had by The REPUBLICAN re.

ago he asked his wife how she would get along
without him. 1t is known that he had done con.
siderable credit business and was unable 10 make
his collections, and coneequcntly could not meet
his engagements. This seemed to prey upon
his mind, and when any Of his creditors would
pass the store door he would become unusually
dependent.
Another theory is that ailcr placing the weapon
In his pocket he retired to the rear OF the store
and sat down on the box, and when In the act Of
leaning, over the pistol was accidentally dis
The coroner was notified, and, after Viewing
the body and hearing the different theories rela-
tive TO the affair, decided that II was accidental,
and deeming an inquest unnecessary gave Ger.
