Old CITIZEN SUICIDES.
Fooled in Efforts TO Drown Himself
X. $. Martin Fires Bullet
sN Into His Head. a1Uzo.A1..4...


Richard :. Martin, a man 65 years
old who lives with his son at the cor
ner of state and Breckenridge streets,
shot himself through the right temple
at 1880 las; Saturday with 3S calibre
revolver. He was determined to
take his life and made two attempts
to drown himself Friday but was
prevented and on Saturday he went
to the upper room in the house and
tried TO end his life in another man
Der.
some Of the old residents will re-
mem Der when Mr.. Martin owned and
occupied farm out on the Usage, AT
least such IL the report, and that he
lost the farm by a mortgage. He
then went west with his wife and re.
turned to lola about year ago. Last
fall his grown son, j. +. Martin, came
here and went to work at the old
smelter and the ola folks lived with
him. The old gentleman has been in
poor health for years and was not BILE
to do any steady work, but tinkered
around at whatever he could find to
do in the way OF odd Jobs. Friday
afternoon he wrote note and left il
on the table and accompanied by his
II year old son went to the river. The
boy stayed close beside him through
an instinct of danger, and when the
old gentleman who was sitting on the
bridge began TO slide Off the boy
grabbed him and called for help
Several fishermen ran and drew the
old man back and he willingly &C.
companied the boy home. When
they reached the house the family
had not yet returned and the note.
which probably gave clue TO the old
gentleman's motive was destroyed by
him.
The boy told the family about the
occurrence and when the old man left
the house in the evening the older
son followed him and brought him
back almost by force when he was
half way TO the river. He proteste d
to his wife that he would not stay and
the son hid the revolver which they
kept ia the house, Saturday early he
went down town and seemed all right
talking to some Of the neigh bore in q
caln and rational manner. A bout II
O'Clock he went up stairs, found the
revolver and placing ii az his right
temple, fired.
The boy came TO town and summon
ed Marshal Mann, who sent word to
Or. Fulton and they both hurried tC
the house, the older son being alsC
.>pmoned from the smelter. Tht
