HID DISGRACE IN DEATH

LEAYENwoRTH, Kan, April 2-Robert
Fischer, janitor of the Redmond Lodge,
died at 10 o'clock this morning, aged 40,
probably from the effects of an overdose OF
morphine. He was found in an un-
conscious condition in the room which the
lodge uses as place of meeting and by his
side was an empty bottle which is thought
to have contained morphine. Doctors
used 10 revive him but without success
Fischer leaves wife and four children.
1t has come to light that Fischer COM
mitted suicide. He used some of the funds
of the Cigarmakers' union which he was
unable to make good and so ended his
troubles with morphine.

lost Saturday somewhere between the
