SUICIDE.
The Body of G Man Found Floating in
the River Yesterday Morning.
A We'll Known Character on the Street.-The
Terrible Letter Found IN His Pocket
Cursing HIS Brother.

Early yesterday morning the body OF
man, dressed in blue clothes, was dis
covered floating in the waters of the
Clear Fork just above the iron bridge.
It was the body of David N. Bowers, and
Justice MeClung returned q verdict OF
suicide.
Bowers was well known about town
here, as well as in Dallas, and in several
other cities of the state. OF late he has
been unemployed on account of irregu-
lar habits, and has been indulging too
freely in intoxicants. He could be
seen almost any night at
Harry Hatchell's saloon. Saturday
night he was seen around Ed. Tabor g
saloon and was observed as late as 2
o. CLOCK when he was seen in bis room {.
At 3 o'clock his roommate woke up and
Bowers was gone. The next that was
seen of him he was found IN the river at
about 6:3O o. clock.
Justice MeClung was Immediately noti-
fed and proceeded to the spot. On the
bank were his cane and hat and he was
floating just ia few feet from the edge.
The tracks and the stick and hat showed
the act to be a deliberate one. He was
taken out of the water and removed TO
the undertaking rooms of Wilkes &
Cause, where the inquest was held.
He was dressed in suit of navy blue
and it is supposed that the fact of his
wearing q cork leg helped 90 float the
body as it had only been in the water q
few hours and would naturally have
sunk. In his pocket were lot of worth
less express receipts, and among other
things letter which shows the act to
have been contemplated for q long time.
It was written in a clear hand and was q
fine specimen of penmanship. A fac
simile copy of the letter is given, with
the original punctuation and oapitallza-
ton.
Fort WORM, Tex. April 2sth, 1890.
To whom 1t may concern;--
This will show the act have committed was

DAVID N BOWERS
The deceased was an expert book
keeper and was highly priced as an ae
countant. His last position was in the
express Office at Dallas, great many of
whose receipts he carried in his pocket.
He was employed there at one time in
strengthening out the accounts Of the
company from the condition which the
Walton defalcation had left them, and
only a week ago he received a letter
telling him to quit drinking and return
to work in the place which he had lost
on account of irregularity. He was be-
tween thirty-five and forty years of age.
The body remained at the undertaker's
last night and will be buried to-day.

Special TO the Gazette.
DALLAS, Tex, June About 300
spectators gathered at the fair grounds
this afternoon to witness the walking
match between Dan 'Deary, the veter-
an pedestrian, and Charles Gay of Fort
Worth. O'Leary was in good trim
and confident Of not only beat
ing Gay, but Of lowering the
record. GAY had confidence both
in his speed and his endurance, and he
went into the race determined to come
out first or make the champion do some
very fast walking. Dan Creelan, the
popular Irish comedian, was chosen
referee and master of ceremonies, end
James Il. Kelley, also an Irish comedian,
acted as time keeper. The word ''go'
was given at :25 and both men started
of al a lively pace. O'Leary struck his
well known swinging gait, walking from
his shoulders down. Gay held himself
more erect. His steps had not in them
the easy stride of his opponent
and he moved forward without
O'Leary's body motion. 'He is pretty
walker, +" said many, but it did not take
long to convince those observing the two
men that o 'Leary had the easier, If not
the more graceful style. The
two men kept together during
the first mile, then O'Leary
forged ahead and increased mis- lead with
each step taken until at the end of the
tenth mile he had gained mile and
about 100 yards on the Fort Worth man.
The latter was game, however, and
plodded on at good pace, dog
Redly determined to remain in
the race until the finish, which he did,
thereby saving the money of his friends
who had taken bets that he would not do
so. O'Lesry finished his fifteenth mile
and the race in 2:45 and came under the
wire about one hundred yards
less than two miles ahead of his competi-
tor. Both of the men though warm, sp-
peared comparatively fresh, and good
for a much longer walk. Gay was COM
plimented on his staying qualities, and
O'Leary was cheered and congratulated
on his well-earned victory. The follow
