c. G. HARTLEY SUICIDES.
Formerly a Resident of Sioux Fall.
But Lately of New Mexico.

a Sioux Falls, S. D., May 1S.-Frends
in this city have been shocked by the
receipt of telegram stating that G. G..
Hartley, for period of about ten years
II resident of Sioux Falls, and well
known member Of the local bar, had
committed suicide at his new home at
Alamogordp, New Mexico. Nothing has
been learned as to the cause or causes
which led him to take his own life, but
1t is supposed here that the act was
due to the state of his health. Prior to
removing from Sioux Falls to New
Mexico a year or two ago. he had not
enjoyed good health and had also ex-
perienced considerable trouble with his
eyes. At the time OF his death he was
a member in good standing of both the
fWorkmen and Woodmen lodges Of this
city, in each of which he carried in
surance to the amount of $4,000. Be
fore taking UP his residence in Sioux
Falls, Hartley was resident of Miller.
S. D., where he was also we'll known.
