Nick. Wantc, one Of the owners of
the Rico Beer Hall, died near Arriola,
In Montezuma county, on Thursday of
this week. His death is accredited to
the results ofa gun-shot wound received
some ten years ago while out hunting
with a party of friends. During the
past year abscesses have repeatedly
formed near the wound in his hip and
1t Is supposed that his death was the
result Of blood poisoning. For q. num-
Der of years Mr.. Wantc conducted the
little cigar stand on the corner of Mantz
and Glasgow avenues and later engaged
in the saloon business. His only known
relatives In this part Of the country are
Mrs. g. Beffort and her children, of this
city. Joseph Holzner, a partner of the
deceased, went to Dolores yesterday to
look after his burial, which will take
place at DOlores.-RicO News-Sun.
The funeral was held last Saturday
from the residence of Mr.. Neehouse and

John d. Fox, who had charge ofTup
STAR during our absence in Denver.
committed suicide In Durango last
Tuesday evening at O'Clock, taking
the laudanum route. He had been
drunk for over week before leaving
Dolores and 1t is supposed he kept 1t up
as long as he could get drink,
Fox was well educated man, polite
and well behaved, but of a melancholy
disposition. He had an uncomfortable
desire for whiskey which had brought
him down from plenty to the position
Of tramp. He was at one time stu
dent at Annapolis, but was, 10 he said.
expelled for misconduct. He had later
served In the U. s. navy as a common
sailor, travelled with dramatic com.
pany, worked as printer and reporter
Denver and Leadville being the places
he newfoundland was a member of
, the lst Colorado regiment, having en-
listed at Leadville.
While in Dolores he twice attempted
suicide but was prevented. He told
parties here that he had once tried the
laudanum route, but had taken too big
a dose and in worked as an emetic.
The Durango Democrat says he first
tried to kill himself by opening vein
in his left arm, but this was prevented
by a policeman, who took the knife
away from him.
He informed the writer that his par
ents were dead, and that he had an
uncle and some cousins in New York,
but added that "they don't want to
known where I am.''

 President McMurty, of the American Sheet Steel company. returned to-day from a tour through the five mill towns of the Kiskiminetas valley. He ln- spected the non-union mills running Ill all of them and also looked over the two non union properties being operat- ed at Scottdale.

They also promised to act at Duquesne in proper time. They charged that the borough officials or Monessen are openly against the strlk- CTS and constantly infringe on tbeir rights. They said that if the men were not fairly treated they would seek pro lection for them through proper legal channels.
