JACOB HARTMAN SUICIDES.
WAS STRONG IN FRAME, BUT
WEAK IN MIND.
Because His Wife Was an Invalid
He Concluded to End
His Life.

Jacob Hartman, a coremaker, en-
ployed in the molding department al
the railroad shops, committed suicide
yesterday by taking a large dose OF
morphine.
Early in the evening a stranger re-
ported at the Police Station that man
was lying sick on the river bank south
of the city. The patrol wagon was
sent there with couple of officers, ana
the stranger piloted them to where the
man lay. The officers found him IN a
dying condition, with a Uninterrupted
small bottle of morphine by his side
The man was taken to the Receiving
Hospital, where he was ldentlned a.
Jake" Hartman, whose home is ii
1918 Sixth street. DR.. Ogden, Assistant
City Physician, did all that was pos
Eible to save Hartman's life, but it was
too late, and he died a few minutes
after reaching the hospital.
About a half hour after his death
Mrs. Hartman and her sister arrived al
the station to notify the police that heI
husband had not been home all day,
and were greatly shocked when inform
ed that he had just died and that his
body was in the hospital.
Mrs. Hartman being an invalid, it
was feared that it would not be safe
to have her see the corpse just then,
SO she was persuaded to return to her
home. She said that when her husband
did not return to the house during the
day she began to fear that he had car
ried out an oft-implied threat to do
away with himself.
On -lo
at home and in good spirits, but it was
noticed that after he had kissed his lit
tie boy good night he called him back
and fervently kissed him again, and
then cautioned him to be a good boy
About o'clock yesterday morning he
arose and went out, saying he was GO
ing to walk around the block and would
soon return. That was the last the
family had seen of him.
Hartman was a man of powerful
physique, and had steady employment
at the railroad shops for some years
prior to which he drove a wagon for
the Pacific brewery. About year ago
he took morphine with suicidal intent
but his neighbors discovered him in
time 70 save his life
At that time his Wife was out of the
city and he lost some money at gam
ing. In the hope of recovering it he
drew some more money that he had
laid away, but that too vanished Afraid
to face his wife with the story of what
he had done. he procured the morphine
and tried to end his life
The only cause Hartman's friends as
sign for his action yesterday is the fact
or MS Wife's illness and the fear that
she might never recover her health.

Z and the other years of age.

BACK FROM CUBA.
Lieutenant We1ch Has Reached
San Francisco.

Lieutenant Lyman WEIGH, the
nephew of Mrs. Justice T. B. McFar-
land, who was stricken by yellow fever
at Santiago de Cuba, has reached San
francisco, more dead than alive, but
is in fair way toward recovery.
Lieutenant Welch graduated from
West Point last year, and was assigned
to duty with the Twenty-fourth Infan-
try in Utah. His regiment was sent
to Cuba, and was in the thickest Of the
fight at the siege of Santiago, where
the young Californian distinguished
himself by his dash and gallantry.
After the yellow fever attack left
him he fell victim to malarial fever
and was in a terrible condition when
taken aboard the transport Concho,
where the sick soldiers suffered such
hardships on the way north. Lieuten-
ant Welch is now with his parents in
San Francisco. He is quite we'll known
in Sacramento and Nevada County.
