He MAY HAVE DIED

Special to The Republican.

SPCSioA ' AhC 4hCpuDllCdu.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 19.-The
death of Walter D. Pease proves to
have been a suicide. He had one
scalp wound and was shot through the
body in the region of the heart. He
had evidently attempted to shoot him
self through the head first, and being
unsuccessful fired the second shot
through his body.
Two Kinds Of Life.
Pease, it develops, has been leading
a sort of a DR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
kind of a life, and it was at first be-
lieved by some that it was a case of
homicide, but in all probability the
wounds were self-in1icted, his condi.
ton of mind being brought on by i'll
ness and other troubles.
Father Of Young Woman.
He is charged with being the father
Of a 16-year-old girl, the supposed
daughter of a carpenter living in the
western part of Cheyenne. 1t is ru.
mored hat the carpenter will claim
part of the estate for the support of
this child.
Practical Admission.
1t is also stated that the deceased
in a letter practically admitted the
parentage Of the child.
