J. ?. SART[|L A SUICIDE
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE RY
SHOOTING
WAS MENTALLY DERANGE1
Belief Expressed by His Many
Friends That bushes COmpIi-
cations Were the Cause
of the Tragedy.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, March 19.-Egbert
p. Sartell, manager of the Sartell Lum-
Der and Supply company. ended his life
shortly after 1870 yesterday afternoon by
shooting himshelf in the head. He had
been feeling poorly for a few days and
just before dinner he left the house with
out putting on his overcoat. He did not
return, and this aroused the suspicious
Of his wife, and, after making prelim-
mary search, she reported the matter to
the police. About o'clock the searchers
peered through the cracks in the door of
a booth constructed for street fair pur-
poses, and Mr.. Sartel was seen sitting
in a chair in the booth He was a man
of excellent habits and 1t is believed
that his business affairs preyed upon his
mind to an extent that he became I'M
accountable for his actions. Besides his
wife, he leaves two grown daughters.
His family affairs are known to have
been the pleasantest, and these had no
bearing on the case. Mr. Sartell was
about forty-seven years of age and had
for some years dealt in -four, feed, baled
hay, cement, etc. He was not considered
conservative in his business, and this
probably led to complications which he
doubtless considered unsurmountab!e. De-
ceased was very we'll known here, hav-
ing made ST. Cloud his home from boy
hood. He was at ore time member Of
the numbering firm of Sarten Bros, but
withdrew some years ago. He was a
member Of Granite City camp, M. w. A,
No. 1857 in which society ne had held
numerous offices and carried a policy Of
$1,000. His eldest daughter had for some
time been private secretary to Supt. S.
S. Parr, Of the city schools, who died a
fortnight ago

Franklin to Lord Howe, in June, of 1776
The extract from Franklin's letter is
as follows:
The well-founded esteem and affection
which shall always have for your
lordship, make it painful to me to see
you engaged In conducting a war, the
great ground Of which described in your
letter is the necessity of preventing the
American trade from passing into for
eign channels. TIE me it seems that
neither the obtaining or retaining of any
trades how valuable so ever, is an OBJ
others blood; that the true and sure
means of extending and securing COM
merce are the goodness and cheapness
Of commodities. and that the profits Of
no trade can ever be equal to the ex-
pense of compelling it, and holding it
by fleets and arms. l consider this war
against US, therefore as both unjust
and unwise; and l am persuaded that
cool and dispassionate posterity will
condemn to infamy those who advised
1t, and even that success will not save
from some degree of dishonor those who
have voluntarily engaged to conduct it.
IMPERIALISTIC INSPIRATION.
Mr. Bryan commented upon this letter,
and said that imperialists had its In
spiration in the desire of the syndicate
to extend their commerce by conquest
and he said that he was willing to in
dorse the language of Franklin, and says
that "cool and dispassionate posterity
will condemn to infamy those who ad-
vised it,
He also read letter written by Abra-
ham Lincoln, Nov. 81, 1864 to Mrs Blk
by, mother who had lost five sons in
the Civil war. The following is a pen
extract from the letter:
Il feel how weak and fruitless must
be any words of mine which should at
tempt to beguile you from the grief of a
loss SO. overwhelming. but 1 cannot re-
Train from rendering to you the con-
ISOLATION that may be found in the thanks
of the republic they died to save I
pray that our heavenly Father may as
suage the anguish of your bereavement
and leave you only the cherished mem
DRY of loved and the lost and the solemn
pride that must have been yours to have
laid so costly sacrifice upon the altar
of freedom"
Mr.. Bryan said that the English lam
guage contained no more beautiful ex-
preston Of sympathy, and he contrasted
it with the sordid assurances of those
who say that the trade which we secure
Will be worth the blood that is spent for
1t, and asked why the people who wanted
the trade did not purchase it with their
own blood instead Of the blood of other
peoples sons

u 60 WASHINGTON Az SOUTH

Chief Canterbury, of the Gre depart
ment, yesterday completed his investigl-
ton into Wednesdays fire in the Hen
nepin block where Mrs. Carrie Crawford
lost her life. AS a result of the investi-
cation Fireman Unger IS to be discharged
from the fire department and Cap.
Charles Lent, of No. 4 truck, IS reduced
from captain to pipeman. Lieut. Charles
Loess, of No. 4 truck, is promoted to be
captain of No. 4 truck, and Iadderman
John Berwin is promoted to be lieutenant
of No. l truck, both for bravery in saw
ing lives at this fire. The following 9TH
Ell changes were also announced by the
chief: William Stefrers, transferred from
Truck No 4 to Engine Company No. 20;
Swan Linstrum, lieutenant Of Engine
Company No. 20, transferred to lieuten-
ant Of Truck No. 4; Tom Stock, pipeman
OF Engine Company No. Is, to Truck
No 1.
UNGER GIVES HIS VERSION.
Fireman Unger is naturally anything
but pleased with the action taken in his
case. Unger states that he went up The
sixty-five-foot ladder carrying the POM
pier, and by the time he had made 1t Sc
cure to the fourth story window the
Imoke rolling up from below had so af-
footed him that 1t was necessary for him
20 descend. Berwin, he says, came up
fresh, and was easily able to go through
the smoke and rescue the baby. The
chief believes that Unger should have
made an effort to save the woman any
way. Capt. Lent, who is reduced to the
pipe, was in charge OF No. company,
and the chief that az soon as Lent
had the sixty-fve-foot ladder raised he
lost his head and issued no orders to his
men, but simply stood at the foot of the
ladder.
Canterbury and Lent are both among
those who were injured at the Elevator e
fire, which raised such havoc in the de-
partment a decade ago.
