SINGULAR SUICIDE.

Justics of tho Psaoe wssdt Dies From
Sslf-inn ct-d Irj iries.
Frank J. Wsidt, Wilmington justice
OF the peace, who. on Sunday night,
severed an artery OF his arm with sui
cidal intent, died yesterday morning.
There is considerable mystery sur
rounding this case. Weldt was a JUS
tce of the peace at Wilmington for sew
eral yesrs aud had again secured the
Republican nomination. He had been
celebrating. bat aeide from that there
is not the remotest clue TO any cause for
the act.
He went into his Office during the aft
ernoon complaining tnat he did not fsel
well, and at 6 O'Clock some frisndB found
MIN bleeding proiusely from a well di-
rected cat in the left forearm. He bled
to death. He made no statement that
can be found to throw any light on the
myetery. Hs was a middle aged man,
well considered among his associates,
and has several brothers residing at Will
mington. He WAS on friendly relations
with everyone SO far as can be learned.

A LIVELY EXPERIENCE.
Mrs. Road of JaiiNn Attacked BY
wildcat

Mrs. Road of JaiiNn Attacked BY =
wildcat.
San Diego Union: Mr.. and Mrs. Read
OF Julian experienced lively time a few
evenings past. Mrs. Read saw an able
bodied wildcat in tree near the house
and forthwith informed her husband of
the fact. He dropped his work aud
picking up a 22-caibre rifle went to
make the cats acquaintance. He took
good aim and placed one Of the little
bullets in the animals ribs. With the re-
suit that the pesky cat, with all his
latent energies aroused, dropped on Mrs.
Reads head The lady would probably
have tainted if she had had time to
ponder ever the situation, but her time
was Immediately taken up with the
matter in hand and 5he made violent
efforts to dislodge the splitting thing.
Mr.. Read assisted her by clubbing
the animal, and having beaten it of
fred another bullet into its body. The
cat came up emiling with teeth and
claws ready for the sscond round, and
sprang again at Mr.. Read, but q third
shot laid him out. His skin now sdorns
the Read residence.
