A COOKS CHOICE.
Determined Suicide of an
Old Man.
He Prefers Death to Being a Patient
in the City and County
Hospital.

A most determined case of suicide oc-
Cured in a little room in the rear OF the
Bakers Home, GA Pacific street. yesterday
morning.
John r. Lima, an old cook, had lived there
for the past twenty-six years. doing his own
cooking and paying his rent promptly until
within the past few months, when his means
became exhausted.
He had been suffering from dropsy for
several months past and became very
respondent. The proprietor Of the home
few days ago suggested that he should go
TO the City and County Hospital for treat
ment. Tie old man offered no objection.
ana permit to admit him to the hospital
was obtained and preparations made for his
removal.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the
hospital van drove up TO the door Of the
home and the proprietor went TO Lma's
room to tell him to ges ready for his
removal. He was lying on the bed fully
dressed, with the exception OF his coat, nat
and shoes.
When told that the van was at the door
he quietly remarked, IAN right" and in
stantly rose, reaching for his coat, which
was hanging on a nail on the wall.
The proprietor then turned and went
toward the front of the house, but he mad
only taken few stems when he heard the
report of pistol in Lima'S room. and rush
ing back lie found the old man, face down.
ward, on the floor. with blood pouring from
a wound in his head. HIS left hand was
extended, and his right hand, IN when he
held the pistol, was crossed underneath his
body.
The hospital van was dismissed and a
physician and the patrOl-wagon summoned
by telephone. The physician was the hrst
to arrive, but his services were not needed,
rs the old man was dead. When the patrol
wagon arrived it was sent back to the Cen
trail station and the Coroner notified. The
body was soon afterward removed to the
Morgue
An examination of TIE body showed no
external wound in the head, ana the SUP
position is that he placed the pistol in his
mouth and fired the fatal shot. The pistol
was new one of heavy calber, and Lima
had evidently bought il with the last OF his
money in preparation for the purpose 10
which it had been put, as note addressed
to the Coroner was found in the room,
written in a trembling hand upon half
sheet Of nOtepaper, as follows:
