Salt Lake, Jan. l.-Under the influence
of an insane impulse, whose cause can
only be conjeotured, Ii. n. Niedrnhoftn
of Butte. Mont, took his own life at
the Wey hotel in this city this after
noon. Mir. Niedcnhoien WAS rlCrK of
the district court OF Silver Bow county
and for some six weeks past hr had
been suffering from nervous trouble.
lie came to this city with his wife in
the hope that change of climate and
absolute rest might benefit his health.
During the past few weeks he had been
feeling much better and to-day was So
we'll that Il was proposed by several
friends that they should form party
and go To the theater. At : O'Clock, as
they we're about to start. Mr.. Nieden
hufen excused himself and ran up
stairs. He did not return for some time
and when friend followed him up-
stairs h. found him In thS act of climb
ing the fire escape To the roof. The
alarm was quic kly given and several of
the party started after the evidently
demented man. But before any one
could reach him, the unfortunate man,
having attained the roof. seated HIM
self with his feet hanging over the
NtNts lpNNifu HllllSfll bl arm = ltllE II,
swung there for a moment. and then,
his hands relaxing their grip. he fell to
the pavement 30 feet below.
In falling his body partially turned
and he struck on his shoulder ana head.
An instant he lay thus. huddled In a
heap upon the bricks. then he rose. only
to fall back again ard lie motionlcss.
Help was soon al hand and the uncun-
scious form carried into Evans under
taking rooms. Ut whose door. Ivy sim
gular coincidence of fate, the unfor-
tunate man had fallen. The senselcss
body was laid out tenderly upun the
floor. hut in few moments, without
regaiuing consciousness or recognizing
his distracted wife and the friends who
stood about him, he passed away. With
devoted young wife a. his side and
surrounded by his friends, no reason
can he assigned for his mad act except
that IL was committed while under the
influence of some insane delusiun.
