KILLS HIMSELF AFT TER
WASTING INHERITANCE
Letter Is Left by Mining
Broker to Explain
His Suicide

SALT LAKE CITY, June e.-Hav-
ing exhausted fortune of $4,000,
which he inherited from his sister, a
victim of the Windsor hotel fire in New
York, Richard NJ. Bourne, clubman and
mining broker, today wrote an open
letter to the world and took his own
life
His. body was found in City Creek
canyon this afternoon by two boys.
His left wrist had been slashed with
a razor and two revolver bullets had
been discharged into his brain.
Bourne was Utah agent for the Cali
fornia powder company until 1908.
when he came into possession of wealth
through the tragic fate OF his only
sister. He then devoted his attention
to dealing in mines and mining stock.
He was a bachelor and lived at the
exclusive Alta club. His fortune, he
says in the last letter, is virtually gone
and he has no further interest in life,
