Mr.. Hastings entered the service of
the Rock Island railway in 1885 as
cashier in the assistant treasurer's of
flee in this city. He came here from
eral years by Cyrus Leland as book
keeper
From 1886 up to 1893 Mr. Hastings re-
mained as cashier in the Topeka office
In the latter year the position of secre
tary and treasurer of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Texas road became vacant
and he was appointed to the place. His
headquarters were at F't. Worth, Tex.
When Mr.. c. F. Jilson. for many
years assistant treasurer of the Rock
Island in this city, was promoted to be
assistant treasurer with headquarters in
Chicago, Mr.. Hastings was named as
his successor. He took charge of the
office here on the first of last Janu-
ary,
AS an accountant Mr.. Hastings was
especially competent. He conducted the
financial affairs of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Texas road in such a way
that the management of the Rock Is
land had no hesitancy in giving him
the responsible position in Topeka as
the successor of Mr.. Jilson.
The only near relatives are his
mother, Mrs L. c. Hastings, and a SIS
ter, Mrs. Fletcher both residing in
Wichita About two weeks ago he was
compelled by illness to give up work in
the office and spent several days with
his mother in Wichita. She returned
with him to Topeka, and visited him
here several days.

forenoon in his room at the Hotel

my God, Lew, what have you done?"
said Mr.. Doolittle, kneeling beside the
body.
There was no reply, no movement of
a muscle nor sign of recognition Death
must have resulted almost instantly
after the firing of the second shot.
The position of the body and every
thing about the room indicated calm
deIiberation. Mr.. Hastings had re-
moved his outer clothing and either
stood near the table or lain down on the
floor He held the revolver with his
right hand firmly against his chest
and with the thumb of the left hand
pulled the trigger
The first shot was too low and it is
probable that it would not have caused
death. The desperate man must have
known that, for he Immediately shot

novel was lying on the floor where 1t
had fallen after it had been used at a
brace to hold the muzzle of the revolver
steady while he fired one of the shots.
This was pressed against his breast and

The chambermaid says that only a
few. seconds time elapsed after the first
shot was fired until the secoud, and dur

Everything about the room was in

any thought of taking his own life and
even this morning there is every reason
to believe that he had no intention OF
committing suicide.
1t was about o'clock when Mr.. Hast
ings arose this morning. He seemed in
a happy frame of mind and asked Mr..
Moore if he would buy a ticket for him
so that he might attend the Aband con-
cert. He remarked that he felt better
and went to the dining room and ate
hearty breakfast.
At his office in the Rock Island build
ing Mr. Hastings appeared about as
usual. He remarked to A. r. Lingafelt
that he felt much better than usual.
About 10 O'Clock he left the office with
out saying where he was going. He
went straight to the hotel, stopped at
the office for his key and went to his
room. He instructed the clerk, Edgar
Etter, to allow no one to disturb him
a nap.
It was about twenty minutes past
ten when a cham bermaid on the first
floor heard what she thought were two
shots on the floor above. A little later
Manager Doolittle started to leave his
private office when he met the house
keeper who informed him that she de-
tected the smell of smoke. When he
had gone a little farther he met the
chambermaid who had heard the shots
and she said she thought that they had
come from the room in the corner of the
floor above. Mr.. Doolittle rushed up
the stairs and tried the door of No. 20
but it was locked and the key was in
the door.
Mr. Doolittle then sent for the house
keepers keys and opened the door of
the room adjoining, occupied by Mr..
Moore. He glanced hastily around and
saw that everything in the room he had
entered was in order, and he stepped
into the next room. He had advanced
but a, few feet when he saw near the
stand in the middle of the floor the
PROSTATE form of Mr.. Hastings, clad
only in his. underclothes.
The thumb of his left hand was
fastened in the trigger guard of a re-
voiver and blood was trickling from two
holes in his breast.
