liquor man, went to the top of the
eleven story Union Savings bank build
ing this morning and sent bullet
crashing through his brain.
Illness. aggravated by grief over the
recent death of his wife, is supposed to
have been the cause of his suicide.
Mr.. Cuvelier went to the top of the
bank building about eleven o'clock this
morning, riding up in the elevator with
Prosecuting Attorney Abe Leach of this
city, and with several other prominent
citizens with whom he was acquainted
To them he gave no hint of the tragic
part he was to play in life's drama.
About two hours afterward a man,
woman and little girl went to the roof
of the building and they had no sooner
reached there than they discovered the
remains of the suicide.
The authorities were notified and the
body was found lying on the observ-
alton platform that had been erected on
the roof of the building for sightseers.
A few inches from the right hand was
3S-caliber revolver which the man
had placed in his mouth.

and began scattering proclamations,
causing a scene of great confusion dur

audience out of the place and closed
the garden.
M. Notovitch, editor of the Novosti,
was rearrested yesterday and charged
with the publication of statements sub
versive of the constitutional form of

RIVERSIDE, May S.-Judge Noyes
today handed down his decision in the
famous Indian hair cutting case, in
which Aqua brought suit against j. S.
Spear, Indian agent at Yuma, for COM
pelling him to undergo haircut.
The case is unique. Several months
ago Aqua was arrested for gambling.
SO strenuously did the Indian resist the
native police when they sought to en-
force the law that he was lodged in
Jail. The penalty failing to impress the
Indian as a disgrace, the native police
were instructed to cut the offenders
hair, which, in his eyes, was humility
too deep to be borne
No sooner was he liberated than he
brought suit against the author of his
disgrace for the sum of S25OO. Aqua
claimed that not only had he been
humiliated and disgraced before his
people, but he had been made to en-
dure physical suffering through the loss
of his head covering.
Judge Noyes considered $250O a rather
liberal estimate on the value of a head
Of hair removed the decimal point two
places to the left and awarded the In
dian $25 for the loss of his hair and
reputation.

The crime for which William Rudolph
was executed today was participation
with George Collins. who was hanged
last year, in the killing of Detective
Charles j. Schumacher of st. Louis, at
Rudolph's home, near Stanton on Jan
uary 25, 1903.
One month previously the bank here
had been robbed and the robbers made
their escape by shooting at the citizens
who discovered them at work. After
unsuccessful searches by posses, De-
tectlve Schumacher was assigned to
make search for the robbers and his
suspicious were directed toward Will

Visits Rudolph in Disguise
Disguised as hunter Schumacher
visited the Rudolph home, situated in
an isolated section and surrounded by
dense forests. and as a result of the
visit he caused a warrant on the charge
of bank robbery to he issued for Ru
dolph and an unknown man living al
the Rudolph home.
Two days later. accompanied by dep
uties, Schumacher attempted to serve
the warrant. The house appeared de-
serted, but the officers proceeded to the
front door and raped.
without warning one of the side
doors swung open and Rudolph and
Collins, armed with revolvers, jumped
into the yard and opened fire. Schu-
macher was instantly killed and after
a running fight the deputies were put

Just one week before the trial Ru-
dolph made a daring escape from the
St. Louis Jail at o'clock in the after
noon. He had not been recaptured at
the time set for the trial and Collins
was tried on the charge of participat-
ing in the murder of Schumacher and
convicted.
A short time previous to the date for
