Inflicted a Slight Wound in
His Head.
BELIEVED he ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Had Trouble With John Donnetti al
the Won Thron BottIino Works
This Morning.

Believing that he had killed John
Donnetti and worrying over the SER
ious illness of his wife. Albert Bayer,
young man employed as a driver for
the Van Thron bOttlng works, shot
himself in the head today shortly af-
ter noon The bullet inflicted only a
slight wound and the man at a late
hour this afternoon was resting easily
at the Walla Walla hospital.
are not very clear, but it is believed
that Bayer attempted self destruction.
About u: 10 as Harry Light was pass
ing the bottling works on East Alder
street he heard some one grooming,
and opening the door he stepped into
the room and found Bayer lying on
the floor with the blood flowing pro-
fusely from the wound in mis- head.
Lying near the body was a small 81
calibre revolver, with four loaded
cartridges and one empty one in it.
Light Immediately informed Officer
Ben Wolf, who was passing up the
street. and the officer summoned DR..
G. B. Stewart, who was soon on the
scene and dressed the wound. which
proved but a small abrasion of the
scalp and a slight indentiOn in the
skull. Bayer was removed to the Wal
la Walla hospital
1t appears from what could be learn
ed from the other employees at the
bottling works that early this morning
Bayer and John Donneti, an old man,
engaged in quarrel. which terminal
ed in a fight. Bayer being the younger
of the two beat up Donnetti in very
had to be removed to his home. Short
ly before noon one of the men in the
establishment. in joking manner. in
formed Bayer that Donnetti was dead.
This seemed to have a very bad effect
on Bayer, and when the other men
went to lunch Bayer was pacing up
and down the floor ringing his hands
and deploring the fact that he had
struck the old man. This and the fact
that Mrs. Bayer was at st. Mary's hos
pital suffering from several fractured
ribs, sustained by being knocked
down by a bicycle rider some time
ago, is supposed to have caused Bayer
to lose his mind temporarily and he
attempted to kill himeslf.
Bayer was recently married to Miss
Kate Brechtel of this city, and is we'll
known in Walla Walla, having worked
for Charles Won ThrOn for several
yeahs.

their money. Another preliminary

County Secures an Abundance
Of Good Rock.
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS WORKING FAST
About Two Hundred Feet Will Be
Completed Each Day on the
Sample Roadway.

Abundance of good rock has been
secured and work on the government
road was resumed at double quick
rate this morning. A siding has been
put in near the O. r. & N track term
mating near the beginning of the sam
pie road and the rock crusher has been
loads of the new rock came in from
Milton this morning and the crusher
This rock is found in great quantities
all over the surface of the ground
about Milton and has already been
piled up in mounds by the owners of
the land so that it can easily be load
ed onto the cars. There is enough of
it lying around to build ten miles of
road
On account of the proximity of the
crusher to the road the haul will be
much easier and the cost of construct
ing the road much cheaper. J. H.
Dodge the road expert, says that when
things get to running smoothly
they will be building from $50 to 200
feet of road day. Up to this time
the average has been a little over 100
feet on account of difficulty of trans
portation.
1t is probable that the first mile will
be finished by December 10 and a por-
ton of it will be in nice shape by the
time of the Good Roads convention on
November 80. 1t is not thought that
the weather will interfere with rush
ing the work all through the winter
The subway is almost completed for
the first mile already. Mr.. Dodge said
that he is having a great many favor
aole comments on the road already
built from farmers and others passing
along it, who stop and tell him how
good a road it is. ~
You would be surprised at the
number of teams that pass along this
road" said Mr.. Dodge. Last Satur-
day morning 1 kept tally on those
passing from 9 o'clock until noon, and
found including all sorts of vehicles,
that there were 121 in the three hours
passing both ways, or one every min
ute and half Going toward Walla
Walla there were 46 single teams and
80 double teams. AS it was morning
the travel west was not so large but
in the three hours there were Is single
buggies and nine double ones. There
were three bicycles going west and
six going east. One horseman went
over the road towards College Place
and six came from that direction" Mr..
Dodge thinks this is a remarkable
travel ana that most of it coming in to
Walla Walla shows the value of having
a good road.
