evening jusaover the railroad beyond Thirty

He was living with w. C. Hopping and on
Thursday forenoon he brought Mr. Hopping
into the city with his carriage and was to
come for him again in the afternoon and take
him out, but failing to do so, Mr. Hopping,
upon arriving home and not finding him,
feared something might be the matter. and
instituted search, and also procured others to
aid him, but nothing was found. On Satur-
day Mr.. Hopping found a note left by Mr..
what L suffer. l can not stand it
any longer" From this and the further
fact that he had for many years been suffer
ing from bodily ailment and was growing
weaker, it was thought he had committed
suicide for fear he might become burdensome
upon his friends. Saturday evening tramp
passing along the river where the body was
afterwards found, noticed Panama hat on
the bank and went to pick it up and found it
faithfully watched BY, little dog, which
was afterwards found to be that of Mr..
RabePs, and which would not permit the
tramp to touch the hat. This circumstance
led to search in the vicinity for the body
and it was soon found as above stated. MIR.
Rabel had many warm friends in this vicinity
and was very much respected by all who
knew him. His funeral has been postponed
until the arrival of his nephew from Santa
Cruz, and John Werner an intimate friend
