HIS STRUGGLE WITH SELF.
Robertson's BattleWith His Thoughts
In the Lonely Gulch.

II was a rain which saved Alex Rob-
ertson's NE When he left the Ferris
cottage at $50 Saturday morning, his
mind was set upon one thing. That was
TO XIII himself No man was ever
more determined to take his own life.
Walking north on Eleventh East
street he had proceeded for not more
than a half mile from the house when
he was overtaken by a fierce downpOur
al rain. In order to protect himself and
his cartridges Of which he had only
two, the councilman sought shelter In
a little dugout In Thomas canyon. a
narrow gulch Just north OF the east
end OF the city cemetery.
This was only partial shelter. and as
he sat there and felt the rain drip In
upon him, he decided to wait until II
was over The rain had a calming
effect. He began TO reflect upon the
consequences Of suicide. and the
effect Of his act upon his friends. and
the criticism that they might be sub
jecied to.
For many hours he sat there alone
with his thoughts. He was still uncon-
WINGED that suicide would not be the
hest thing. when hc heard voices This
was ai about 1880.
The fugitive drew himself into mar
row cave IN the dug-ont as far as he
could and awaited developments In
n few minutes he saw that the voices
were those OF friends who were search
ing FOR him. He recognized city Re
corder Nystrom. City Councilman Da-

Shameful Imposition Upon Officers

Much feeling is manifest at the po-

Chief Paul was IN high dudc,on this

the senate In support Of his resolution
providing for the annexation by the

HEAVY GAMBLING LOSSES.
Robertson Said 20 Fave Plunged
Large Sums Recently.

II is said by those in a position to
know that Robertson has lost very
heavily indeed at gambling OF late, and
that these losses had an undoubted IN
fluence upon his desire TO die. rms Is
interesting In view OF Mr., Doolys
statement I'm the News a short time
ago that he didn't know that there was
any gambling going on in salt Lake.
Perhaps, now that the teller OF his bank
has impressed its presence upon MIN,
he knows It. This Is the opinion ex-
pressed by some,
Robertsons loss for one night Is said
10 have been $1,000, and on another
night ne is said 20 have lost 81. 600. II Is
a matter OF establishment to friends OF

layed so long.

Cashier Dolly was advised OF the fact
that his teller had been losing large

Robertson had refraned from drink
ing until very recently. But the last
few weeks he drank heavily, and was
