cause he Couldn't Get w Ork.
1t has been discovered that the rea-
son Robinson G. Hutchinson commit
ted suicide at his home on West Tenth
street yesterday morning by taking
strychnine was that he was out of
work and that he feared his wife would
be ashamed of him.
It seems to have been his industry
that killed him for it was his inability
to be doing something and adding to
his already considerable possessions
that discouraged him.
It was not until late yesterday after
noon that letters were found at the
house throwing any light on the suicide
at all.
H L. Studevant went to the house
to discover if possible among the dead
mans papers his standing in the K. of
?. lodge.
In washstand drawer he found two
letters written on the back of asylum
laundry lists. The first was dated
July LIST and read:
To Ny Wife, Louisa:
To whom it may concern. Let it be
known that 1 am satisfied with my
wife, but owing to other trouble, such
as being able to make a good living and
getting on in the world, am discOur-
aged, most especially as to getting a
good respectable place to work and not
wishing to disgrace her or any one,
have concluded that it would be best
for me to depart from this life.
In regard to my property, do as you
please. I would like for you to give
my father and my four brothers, AL
fred B. Hutchinson, A. G. Hutchinson,
J. w. Hutchinson and S. S. Hutchin-
son each one of them 500 as a last re
membrance of one who tried to accom-
plish something. My property consists

insurance. $1,000, stock in HOlton bank,
$40 Total S7,17O.
Your true love.
Goodbye, Louisa.

The second letter was dated July 9Th
and addressed several people as fol-
lows.
To all Whom it May Concern:
Be it known by this statement that I
have good wife, a comfortable home
and nothing to fret about except
work. would like a steady, respecta-
bic job and not seeing any chance for
same I have concluded to do this rash
act There is no one to blame but my

folks, who We're put to a great deal of

There was considerable confusion about

that their services were not required any

If the men had quit work on that short
notice it would have been considered a
strike. The shop is owned and operated

the report was published in morning

the men every cup in the case would have
been taken out, as the men had orders for

customers than Of anything else. 1t is

now supporting G G. LOOMS and the

falling in this, he is safely anchored and
perfectly harmless in the democratic party
The scholar, statesman and political
nontsbank, Jake Howard, was absent.
Sam Mash showed his good Judgment by
staying away. Turner gets up on his
hind legs, throws his ears forward and
howls for freedom. It would look better
if he would howl for freedom to so to
work. Rhinehart, the notorious gambler
was present and furnished the applause.
