FORT BIDWELL TRAGEDY.
Walter J. Decious Ends His Life
With a Bullet From

Impelled to the Act by Fear That
He Could Not Support
His Bride.

CHICO, CAL, May 3.-A dispatch was
received in Chico last night from Fort
Bidwell stating that Walter ]. Decious, a
young man of that place, had committed
suicide. Young Decious attended school
and had been living in Modoc County for
several years. He had many friends and
acquaintances here.
The circum stances attending his death
were peculiarly sad. Not qnite two weeks
ago he married a young lady of good fam
lily. There had been on his part no dem
onstration either of regret or disappoint-
ment, but yesterday the young man Dor.
rowed a rifle, placed the muzzle directly
over his heart, with the butt against the
wall, he discharged it by pressing upon the
trigger with stick.
When found his hands still held the
rife and stick in death clasp, setting at
rest all question as to the manner of his
death.
Decious left letter in which he assigned
as reason for his act his fear that he
should nor be able to support his wife in a
becoming and fitting manner. 1t is very
probable that the young mans mind was
temporarily unbalanced when he killed
himself.
