MILLIONAIRE
COMMITS SUICIDE

Honolulu, Aug. &c., via San Francis
co-A G. Mitchell, reputed to be
millionaire from Michigan, a passen-
ger on the Coptic, suicided August IL
when the vessel was three days from
San Francisco. Mitchell. who was
accompanied by DR.. G. E. Miller and
a nurse, was reported to be on trip
around the world for his health. The
morning of his death he was talking
to two ladies on the promenade deck.
Suddenly he ran to the side Of the
vessel and sprang overheard. The
steamer stopped but there was no
trace of Mitchell His mind, it is
thought, was unhinged by illness.
Mitchell was head Of the Michigan
Lumber company of Cadillac, Mich.
He had been in San Diego for the past
year. He leaves a son and a daugh-
ter. DR.. Miller, who accompanied
Mitchell, returned to Cadillac yester-
day. He says Mitchells death was
accidental, and that the millionaire
fell into the sea.

Wardensf1ip Declined by ConkIin

capitol last night. Herman Groto-
phorst will come down from Baraboo
this morning.
1t was expected that the regular
monthly meeting for August would be
unimportant and occupied only with
routine business, but the unexpected
action by Mr. Conklin has rather no
set things. The board will now delve
again into the list of 80 or more eli
gibles and make again the selection
of a success of G. G. McClaughry as
head of the Waupun institution.
The reason for the refusal of Mr.
Conklin is the fact that he can hardly
be spared from mis- business. Had he
accepted the place he would have
continued to maintain his business re-
lationship here and his attention to
prison affairs would necessitate too
much of division of interests. His
brother, J. William Conklin, is not in
the best of health and not able to as
sumo chief place in the management
of the business.
