Vicinity Blows His
Brains Out

Alex Twaddle, one of Washoe coun-
tvs best known residents, shot him
self Tuesday morning and died as a.
result of the bullet All indications
point to the fact that it was a suicide.
Mr.. Twaddle had once before tried
to end his life with a pistol and had
it not been for his brother he would
have done so.
Yesterday morning, Mr.. Twaddle,
who was stopping with his brother,
E. Twaddle, on his ranch near Huff
aker's, was missed from the house and
his brother could not locate him, but
later he heard a shot and upon inves-
tigation found his brother in the rear
of the house dying from a pistol
wound and a smoking revolver beside
him. The bullet entered his head just
above the right ear and came out on
the left side, breaking every bone in
his skull.
Deceased was aged 45 years and a
native of Utah, but had resided in this
State nearly all his life. He was a
member in good standing of the Wood
men of the World, which order will
probably have charge of his body for
interment An inquest was held this
morning by jury at the Coroner's Of
flee in Reno.

and two sisters are left to mourn his
loss.
