The startling news reached this city
yesterday evening from Los Alamos
that Nicholas Delgado had blown out
his brains. The rash act was commit |
ted yesterday evening at Alamos where
he had just arrived from Las Vegas, he |
having come here Monday, from his
home in Rociada. The deceased had
been quite Respondent Of late over his
continued ill health, he having been
sick for the past six months. The orig |
inal trouble was caused by heavy tie |
falling on his leg and injuring him so
he was laid up three months from the
effects of the injury, and after the
wound had healed, he seemed to be
unable.to regain his strength. He had
told several of his friends In the last
few days that that was the last time
they would see him. so he had evidently
premeditated taking his life. After his
arrival at the ranch he was taken
around to see the place and appeared
very much pleased and in good spirits.
When the brother left the room for a
moment, he grasped pistol and plac-
ing it to his forehead, pulled the trigger
and sent the ball crashing through his
brain. He died soon after. An inquest
was held at Los Alamos yesterday ev-
ening and the remains brought here
last night to the home of his father-in-
law, from where the funeral was held
this afternoon. Mrs. Delgado and her
six children were summoned from Ro-
ciada and arrived after midnight last
night. The deceased was As years old
and is we'll known here, he having for
merly driven a street car In Las Vegas
and served as policeman. He was
popular among his friends, and the
deed was q great shock to them.

better than an indoor drilling place.
