Death was almost instantaneous.
Mr. Rirtenburg was a cooper ut the

has not been a happy one and short

Saturday he was badly intoxicated and
started for home about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon under the indusncs Of liquor.
It seems that he arrived home about q

bacco, saying he intended to quit smok-
ing and chewing. He then bid his
mother an affectionate goodbye, and
picking up his revolver, 32-calibe,

his brother Chance and that II the lat

dropped to the floor with the blood
4 gushing from the wound and in few
minutes he was dead, never having re.
