of this section. l have only seen por-
tion of the Estancia Valley. but l am
greatly pleased with it. I consider It
one of the best farming districts in
the southwest if properly developed.
When / return from my visit there to
day l will be able to talk to more ad-
vantage about it, However, from what

can be overcome by artificial means,

that is what / want to learn on this

is the case, the Valley can be made
very productive.
To Settle Estancia Valley.
IF our interests take hold of the
Santa Fe Central, the Estancia Val
ley will be filled from one end to the
other inside of a year with a good
class of hard working, industrious
farmers From what / have seen of

Mr.. Ta1lmadge said he would not
talk with regard to the price offered
for the Santa Fe Central. He said he
did not know how the report origi-
mated in Pittsburg that he was con-
nected with the Goulds in an attempt
to buy the road Neither would he
name those who were with him in
the deal
Il understand" he said, that there
are several bidders for the line. We
are only one. Which one will be sue
cessful in the long run I am not able
to say. However, there is no doubt
but that the road will either change
hands or else sufficient capital will
be put into it's treasury to complete
the tracks, thus making it a good
proposition
Il suppose you are interested in
statehood of some kind?" was asked
Mr.. Tallmadge.

Washington, d. c.. Mar. 27-Under

COMMITS SUICIDE.
D ESP oNDENT OVER WIFE's
DEATH, HE TAKES HIS LIFE.
Head Of Mining Company Opens Gas
Jets in His Room and Sinks to Death
Left Note Saying He Did Not Care
to Live.

Dependency caused by the death of
his wife caused William M. Kerk-
hoff, president of the Yosemite Mining
company to take his own life and he
was found dead from gas poisoning at
his residence, 1882 Aldrich avenue s.
early today.
Mr.. Kerkhoff was formerly treasurer
of the Twin City Telephone company,
but left that work recently for other
interests.
His wife died some time ago, and
after her death he was unable to attend
to his business affairs. He gradually
became more respondent, but last night
he appeared to be in better spirits. He
went to his room as usual when the
family retired for the night. Att
Shortly after midnight his father de-
tected the odor of gas and going to the
room found him lifeless in bed. No
precaution had been taken to prevent
the escape of gas from the room, but
the gas was turned on fully. i :
MI. Kerkhoff had left note to his
parents saying he could live no longer
without his wife. In the note he gave
directions for the disposition Of his
property and mining stock.
Deputy Coroner Harry Irwin was
summoned and decided that death was
due to suicide. No autopsy was nee
essary and the body was left with the
aged father, who will arrange for the
funeral. 81 III -1' .@-... -,,y'N.g. n .,.~~.

JAG MADE WILD TRIP

i - "A 4 vi rs I . h.
After a daring run from Eagle Lake to
Minneapolis behind two spirited horses.
George Williams, farmer, was met at
the end Of the trip by Patrolman Michael
Deutcher, who locked him up at Central
station on a charge Of drunkenness.
Farmers who were out early today were
startled to see the team dashing along
the road drawing a frail buggy which
swerved from one side to the other. AS
the horses ran, Williams cheered their
efforts, but their strength finally gave out
and he was compelled to abandon the ami
mails at Crystal lake. He started to finish
the race on foot and was making record
time when he was stopped by the police
man. Deutcher at first thought he was
demented and started to take his pris-
oner to the county JAIL but on the way
the odor Of corn Juice changed the aspect
Of the case and Williams was lodged
simply as a drunk. (.

John Mogk, Wandering Hungry About
City After Long Trip, q Victim Of
i Chance Acquaintance, Who Takes His
Savings Now He's a Maniac.

Robbed Of his earnings Of a lifetime,
John Mogk of North Y kima, Wash: 70
years old, has become maniac and oc-
cupies a cell in the Central police sta
ton, while the courts are trying to find
some way Of disposing Of the case.
With ticket for Cedar Rapids and
some small change, Mogk was shipped
from his western home to shift for him
self, and for three days after arriving
IN Minneapolis he wandered about the
city city until exhausted by hunger and
Tho robbed of hissreasoh, he is quiet
at times, and in his partly rational mo-
ments the police havei obtained his
story. He says that he went from
Cedar Rapids to Washington several
years ago, and he purchased farm. He
made a good income, educated his chill
dren and finally decided! to sell his
place and live with his sons in town.
Y. He trusted the sale Of, his place to
friends and was to obtain $4,000 for his
farm. When the sale was made he was
told. that his share was $50. Protest as
ne might, he could get NO more and a
few days later was given a ticket and
placed on atrain. S1. F:' oiss.e 2
When he arrived in Minneapolis he
told his story: to stranger. He was
going TO ma his daughter IN Cedar
Rapids, he said, butshe; wanted some
thing to; eat before he went The
stranger said the, daughter was in ST.
Paul and the old man accompanied him
and while eating ina saloon the man
took the $50 and left, saying he would
be back in a few minutes, -, ... T.,
This shattered MOCK IS reason, and he
wandered back to Minneapolis. Thru
his years of work he had saved $40,
and had a draft for that amount in his
pocket, but was unable, to cash it. y.
For three days he. wandered about
the city and Tuesday: he fell into an
abandoned basement in Kenwood. Here
he was found by policeman, who took
him to police headquarters. AS the
man is not a resident of Minnesota
he cannot be cared afor by any of the
state or city charitable institutions.
He has committed no, crime and the
police are puzzled to know what to do.
Superintendent Barton Of the poor
department has taken. up the case, and
the police at Yakima shave, been asked
to look up the man s., relatives there
and thoroly investigate the case. In
formation has already. been received
which corroborates2 most Of the lold
mans story. :, ~ ~. ..
