n.ssondent Over Money Natter
Dead Man Was in Walla WaIla
a Week Ago.

Believed to have become respondent
over money matters, E. H. Minsker, for
several years an expressman in Walla
UalIa. killed himself at Seattle Satur-
dav afternoon by shooting himself
through the head with a 22-calliber re-
volver. News of Minsker's suicide
was conveyed to friends in Walla Wal
Ia by telegram late Saturday evening.
Minsker came to Walla Walla about
y years ago from Bellefonte, Pa. He
run an express wagon for several years
hut finally sold out the business and
moved to Seattle where he bought a
lodging house. About three weeks ago
he returned to Walla Waila, staying
here a couple of weeks. He returned
10 Seattle last week and purchased an
other lodging house. Minsker told
friends that he had lost heavily in his
first venture and it is believed that
Inc constant UfOOulHS over Ills loSSSo

of his mind, as friends noticed he acted
strangely while in Walla Walla.

a trestie at Railroad avenue and Vir-
ginia street. No one as far as known
heard the shot. The revolver with
which he killed himself was still
clutched in his hand. In his pockets
