DEATH HIS REFUGE
Threatened With Disgrace
Treasurer Young Blows
Out His Brains.
(By the Associated Press. }

Louisville, KY, Nov. 27.--After being
said his books were under examination
by expert accountants, Stuart r. Young,
City Treasurer of Louisville, this even
ing went to the rear of warehouse at
Sixth and Nelson streets and committed
suicide by shooting himself behind the
right ear with pistol.
"A great sensation was created late this
afternoon when the last edition of one
evening paper appeared with story, in
work on the books of the retiring City
Treasurer, Stuart r. Young, and that it
was reported that discrepancies had been
found in his accounts.
Shortly after 6 p. M, Mr.. Young was
seen at the ladies' entrance of the Louis.
vile Hotel on Main street, where he
lived with his bride of few months. Two
newsboys who knew Mr.. Young ran up
and said: Mr.. Young, don't you want
paper? it's got your picture in it,"
One glance at the double column head
lines told Mr.. Young why the paper had
printed double column picture of him.
He walked down Sixth street towards
the river, the newsboys following him
en- the other side of the street. Just af-
ter passing Nelson street Mr.. Young
turned off between some box cars. The
boys feared to follow him any further
and returning to the Louisville Hotel
described Mr.. Young's action to Kid
Johnson, hackman Johnson was ac-
quainted with Young and going the di-
rection given by the newsboys, finally
found Mr.. Young lying face downward
in the cinders, his right arm under him.
Seeing bullet hole behind Mr.. Young's
right ear, johnson turned the body over.
Then he saw pistol in Mr.. Young s
right hand. Life was extinct.
Stuart r. Young was thirty-five years
old and one of the most prominent men
in Louisville. He was a graduate OF
Princeton University, son of Colonel
Bennett III. Young, prominent lawyer
and former Confederate soldier of Louis
vile, and brother of Lawrence Youyg,
of Chicago, President Of the Washington
Park Jockey Club. He married last
July Miss Wymond, one of the most
beautiful women in Kentucky, and
doughter of L. H. Wymond.
Four years ago Mr.. Young was elected
City Treasurer and under the law was
ineligible for reelection, his successor
having been elected on November 5.
