He Could Not Get Money to

r. J. Meeker, said to be a mining en-
gineer from Pueblo, Colo, attempted to
commit suicide at the Grand hotel Friday
afternoon by taking cyanide Of potassium.

his stomach refused to retain 1t.
Meeker is little more than a youth and
his act was due to dependency. He re-
Gently graduated as a mining engineer and
at once became engaged to a young woman
Of Denver. His failure to secure remunern-

He is still at the hotel awaiting a re-

his life failed, he is said to be still in a
very dcspOndent state Of mind.
