OTTO b0EHNE SUICIDES.
Used a Shotgun With Desdley Effect
At His Bakery On Yesterday
Morning.

Mr.. Otto Boelime committed
suicide at his bakery yesterday
morning between 8 and $50 O'Clock
by shooting himself in the lef
breast with a shotgun. The sur,
Toundings indicated that he was
sitting on his cot near the stove in
the room partitioned of in the
rear Of his salesroom, and that he
placed the muzzle Of the gun very
close TO his breast and fred it by
pulling the trigger with a long fire
poker. Death was evidently in
Simultaneous. He fell from the cot
TO the floor and bled copiously. The
charge Of buckshot entered, max
ing a large wound, and some Of the
shot came out through his back,
shoie the wounds were scattered.
Justice w. Gillie Mitchell was sum-
moned and after the usual investi-
CATION rendered a verdict in accor.
dance with the facts set forth.
Phillip Prinzel, Mr.. Boehme's
baker, Gus. Hedtke Of Kurten,
Hilson Ivey and Master Willie
Boehme, son of the deceased, were
back in the oven room when the
tragedy occurred, but two closed
doors and a passage between, to.
gether with the facts that Mr..
BOehme had been up through the
night making a good deal Of noise,
and the gun was so close TO his
body as to muifile the shot, caused
those in the rear 10 dIsbelieve the
report they heard was a shot, and
thinking he had lain down TO 60
10 sleep, they did not disturb him.
The truth was not learned until
Mrs. Boehme came about 6 o'clock /
10 open the salesroom. Finding
the door Of Mr.. Boehms's room /
locked she went in through the .
bakery and found the other door
locked also. Mr.. Prinzel then broke .
the door open and the body was
discovered.
Mr.. Boehme lived with his fami.
~ in one Of the Wallace cottages
north of the courthouse, but gen
orally slept at the bakery. He
had been i'll several days and was
no doubt suffering from temporary
Iaental alteration.
Mr.. Boehme was anatiye Of Ger

fifteen years. lie was twice mar.

children. He was honest, indus.

POLYGAMY THE THEME.

The Statehood Measure Debate Had This
Practice Referred 90 by ssnatos..
Washington, Feb. 6.-The discussion
OF the statehood bill In the senate
Thursday turned on the question OF
polygamy A number Of senator's who
heretofore have taken no part In the
debate participated In the discussion.
Mr.. McComas had started the debate
Wednesday by eriticislng the pending
bill as being too liberal and when the
subject came up Thursday Mr.. Gal
lnger adyerted IN his remarks and
said that he was In favor OF an amend
msnt covering this question as strong
as could be drawn. The influence OF
the Mormon church over politics oc-
cupied a large share o. the debate
which Mr.. Hale characterized as inter
estlng. valuable and startling. because
II had disclosed a powerful religious
organization "exertlng Itself as a dom
inant. potential force" over the mind
and action OF It's followers. which
should be taken into account in future
legislation.
Mr Dubois OF Idaho declared that no
polygamist could occupy any high po-
litlcal place without the consent OF the
first president Of the Mormon church.
The same influence, he said, was ex-
ercised in New Mexico and Arizona
He said that Idaho could control the
Mormon people whenever IL 10 desired.

The Tribune apolUgized. Well, we do
not blame the Tribune. We believe
we would havs done likewise We
think the Tribune was justified in
making its apology. Anyone who saw
the fash of those brilliant red whisk-
ers on the street the next morning,
and noticed the lurid condition of the
atmosphere, and realized that he was
guilty, would have felt like apologiZ
ing.
We believe in apologies. We think
1t must have been newspaper man
that suggested the recent law on apol-
ogies. 1t sounds very much like it.
Now a newspaper can call you all
the low down things, even suggest
that you are "back number" laid
ON the shelf" or any old thing of the
kind, and then, by request, say IL is
sorry It is so, and all the offended par
" can do for redress is to lick the
editor.
This is poor consolation at the best.
Then sometimes a fellow gets fooled
in licking the editor and a bad matter
is made worse. IL seems the Tribune
got little out of the record in its
criticisms. Now we think Mr.. Wilson
should have been commended for his
stand for better wages.
Personally we have advocated better
wages and better talent In our schools
and have had many scrap with Mr..
Wilson on that subject. Mr.. Wilson
always seemed a little "near" on sala-
ries and now that he has become con-
verted to the progressive idea OF reas-
onably fair salaries we do not think
he should be censured for IL or that
old dry should be counted against
him.
We commend Mr.. Wilson for his ad.
vanced stand on the salary question.
and assure him that large majority
OF the people are In sympathy with
the move and have been for Q anunber
Of years.
