AN EX-BROKER SUICIDES.
Cuicago Man Prefers Death to Poverty
Was Once Rich.

San Francisco. Jan. 12.-Henry Mil
Ter, middle-aged German, entered a
Kearney street gun store and asked to
see some pistols. He was accommO-
dated, and while fitting a cartridge in
the chamber of a revolver shown him,
he deliberately turned the weapon up
on himself and fired. The bullet struck
him in the left chest, just over the
heart, and he fell to the floor fatally
wounded.
At the receiving hospital he said that
up to within the past few years he had
been a member of the live stock ex-
change Of Chicago and had been
heavy handler of cattle. At one time
he had been worth 100000, most of it
made in cattle deals. subsequent losses
had left him practically penniless.
About a month ago he had left Chi
cago and gone to Portland, Ore. From
there he came to San Francisco two
weeks ago.
Miller says he has three married
daughters in Chicago, but he does not
care to notify them of what he has
done, for fear that his act may stain
the family name

MAKE RACE QUESTION.
Swedish Friends of Israel Lindblad
Take Personal Interest in Ward
Trial

The trial of VIM. B. Ward for attempt
to murder Israel Lindblad last summer
while Lindblad was walking across the
place known as the Ward farm adJoln-
ing the city on the northwest, began
this morning.
Lindblad is one of the Swedish resi-
dents of the city and his fellow country
men are taking a great deal of interest
in the case.
A delegation of the Swedish club IS
in the court room to see that Ward does
not escape a trial, and nearly all the
witnesses for the prosecution are also
countrymen of Mr.. LindDlad.
Ward had been troubled a great deal
by boys stealing apples on his mothers
farm. One Sunday he stationed him
self in a place where he could command
a view of the orchard with a shot gun.
Soon he saw a man start toward the
orchard He ran toward him with the
gun and warned him back. but the man
either did not understand him or decid-
ed to pay no attention and kept on
Ward then shot, and the trespasser
was hit about the face and upper part
of the body. He was not seriously in
jured and soon recovered. Ward was
arrested for attempted murder, and the
trial will probably continue two or
three DAYS.

Some time ago the protest against the
leasing of the convicts to contractors be

for by penitentiary physicians. As leases
expired they were not renewed. Several

owners. At the same time the state au-
thorities began the purchase of lands
Three fine plantations were purchased,
the last payment having just been made
on them out of the penitentiary earnings,
their aggregate value with the stock up

5000 acres.
These places have been under partial
cultivation for two years, but now the
