PARIS Feb I8.-An eminent military authority

blockade and cutting off the chances of relief
ward The Japanese troops Chwang and other
points the Limo Tung peninsula able to interrupt

HOW HE DID THE ACT.
W. II. Bannister Tells How William
J. Bunting Took His Life.

The BODY of W. ]. Bunting, the
man who committed suicide Yesterday
ON the ranch of Alonzo Mosley near
Palisades, was brought to this CITY
last night by Undertaken Bannister,
who had been sent to remove the body
by Coroner. DR.. Knude Hanson.
Speaking of the manner in which
the man committed suicide Mr.. Ban
mister states that the condition in
which the body was found shows that
he was determined to commit the deed
which ended his life.
Two. nails, of the eight penny size
had been driven in two by four.
running across two uprights. The
distance from the nails to the floor
was just five feet and four inches.
The nails were about four inches apart.
The man tied his handke rchief around
his neck and hung the other end of
handkerchief to the first nail. The
handkerchief had evidently slipped
from this nail. as it was bent down
almost Fiat against the wood. The
second trial to hang was more success
full. The end of the kerchief attached
to the nail caught on the end and held
and the man strangled to death. In
order to hang he was compelled to lift
his feet from the floor. as his legs were
bowed when he was found.
The man has been working in and
about Palisades for several years, com
ing there with the Iowa contingent
that settled in that section. He had
resided in Guthrie Centre, Iowa. He
was a farmer by occupation, but not
of the most robust health.
For some time past he has acted
in respondent manner. Yesterday
morning he was in the Bower black
smith shop and stated chat he expect
ed some money that day on the train
from his sister in Iowa. The train
was late and he went to the Mosley's.
where at the noon hour he hung him
self in the barn.
The money he was expecting from
his sister arrived on the delayed train
yesterday. postal money order for
S35. 90. Had this money arrived ON
time, or had the train not been de-
layed. Bunting might have reconsid.
cred his purpose to do away wih him
self
He had Joined the Woodmen of the
World organization at Palisades on the
4th of February, and was insured in
that order for $1,000. At the time he
was found he had ON his person So. 90.
so that he was not broke.
A sister resides at Guthrie Centre,
Iowa, Mrs. Mary Sloss. Undertake
er Bannister communicated with her
this morning by telegraph. Until she
is heard from no disposition of the
body will be made.
The deceased claimed that his fam
lily originally came from Philadelphia.
If this is SO, he was descended from
some one of the old importing auction
houses of Samuel and J. S. Bunting.
years ago trading in the orient and
among the old families of the Quaker
City. During last summer at some
time the deceased told the writer that
he could not trace his family history
save to one relative in PHILADELPHIA.
This morning in small vest pocket
memoranda. Mr.. Bannister found
written the name of Thomas Bunting
with the directions '1507 North Front
street. Philadelphia.
