while the hour is almost six. In their gilded

from the closeness OF the room behind them

long sticks Of soft pine fashioned into
clock hands. Their very lightness makes
them serve the purpose Of their being better

with all Of its simplicity of construc-
tion. this clock is liable to the failings of
its kind; II can lose time with the best OF
them and again take the bit in its teeth
and send the hands around faster than they
are supposed to go. Sometimes It even
takes it into its head to stop. Again. the
striking apparatus becomes disarranged and
it refuses to strike or decides to change
the order of its striking so that people,
sleeping in the night, know not when they
are getting up IL they do not look at their
own timepieces. But these disarrange-
ments and ailments arc out of the ordinary
and seldom is the time when the clock
does not do its duty exactly as the Iowa
City maker intended hat it should. Twice
a week Mr.. Heating, who is its keeper,
climbs the many steps and attends to its
wants. With a lever he winds up the
clock. or, TO be more correct, winds the steel
cable up on tho drums. The other day, in
doing this, the cable was wound a little
crooked and it bound when the clock was
running and the clock stopped and would
not run again until the cable was re-
arranged. 1t is not necessary TO wind the
clock up oftener than once a week, as 1t
is an eight-day clock. and yet 1t has been
found that it will keep much better time
II 1t is attended to twice a week instead Of
only once.

that she must always try to please Him.
DR.. Winston and she became friends, and
the next time he went to her house he
carried her a bow and arrow as a gift. She
was delighted, and the two went out on
the lawn to try the toy. He taught her
how to shoot It, and she prepared to send
a shaft upward. She pointed the arrow
toward the sky and pulled the elastic string
far back. She had almost let go when a
frightened look came over her face. The1

"Det out of the way, bod, I'm doin' to

JOHN BONN SHOOTS HIMSELF
Relieves His Suffering by Putting Bullet
Through His Heart.
LEAVES OVER FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
Coroner Finds Large Amount of
stocks, Bonds, Checks and other
Securities Among h Dead
Mans Effects.

John Bohn shot himself through the
heart in his. room at the Klondike hotel
some time between 3 and 9:45 O'Clock Sat.
urday morning, evidently dying instantly.
The suicide was discovered by Lizzie
Appleton, chambermaid at the hotel. who
undertook to awaken Rohn about GAS this
morning by rapping on his door. Receiv-
ing no response she looked through the
keyhole and saw Bonn sitting on the floor
in a corner between the wash stand and
the window with his head inclined forward
on his breast and with a pistol tightly
grasped In his left hand.
The hotel clerk was Immediately notified
and he called up the police station and
Oflcer Dan Baldwin was sent TO the hotel,
Bohn had the door Of his room locked aud
1t was necessary to break It open.
Bohn ives found sitting on the floor
with the pistol, an old fashioned Colts
army, percussion cap affair, tightly grasped
in his left hand. The pistol had been held
so closely to the breast that the over and
undershirt we're charred and burned for a
space Of six or more inches in circumfer-
ence at the point where the bullet entered
the body, Immediately over the heart.
Bohn had prepared his bed for retiring.
but had not occupied it.
Veteran of Civil war.
John Bohn was about 20 years of age and
was a pensioner Of the civil war, ~receiv-
ing a pension of So per month. He was a
tall, fine looking man, bald head, with long
gray chin whiskers and mustache. He was
possessed of considerable means, having
made some money in the saloon business
here a number Of years ago. He has been
onf ~ kttefnoea for four mr. Eyo md
has been a boarder at the Klondike during
that time. He was always prompt in pay
ing his board bill and was not all dissipated.
He complained of stomach trouble and
frequently threatened that he would kill
himself.
About 6 o'clock Friday night, in talking to
John Yancur of 500 North Sixteenth street,
he said that he was going to kill him
self during the night. Yancur paid no
attention to the threat.
It is not know that Sohn has any rel
atives in this locality, but it is known
that he has two nephews somewhere in
Mexico or Colorado. Parties who profess
to know state that Bohn is worth between
$35, 900 and $40, 900 and that he has a con-
siderable. sum Of money deposited in one
Of the city banks.
Coroner Finds Valuable Papers.
Stocks, bonds, securities, drafts, notes and
checks to the aggregate amount Of $43,S74
were found among the effects Of the suicide
by the coroner.
Coroner Bradley took possession Of the
body and had it conveyed to his morgue.
A cursory examination showed that the
bullet entered the body just below the left
nipple and penetrated the heart, and that
death must have been instantaneous
No one about the hotel heard the pistol
shot, not even those occupying rooms on
either side of the suicide.
