Zimmerman had -oid Mrs. Baer
that his daughter in Indiana is about
"a years of age, and is an invalid.
She is married and has one child.

phine but he was discovered and re-
vived and the whole matter was hush
ed up by his friends, and very few
people knew of the attempt, not even
Mr.. Delaplain or Mrs. Baer. He re-
turned to his rOOming house and told
Mrs. Baer he had taken ill the night
before and didn't get to go to Utah.
There is no question but what for
months the Respondent man had con-
templated killing himself.
The memorandum containing his
children's and lodges addresses was
dated Feb. 18th.
To Hold No Inquest.
Coroner Day has decided to hold
no inquest as it is apparent that the
case is plain suicide. The remains
will be prepared for burial at once.
This morning Mr.. Delaplain wired
the two sons and the son-in-law and
the lodge and informed them of the
tragic death.
One of the sons is connected with
the Wabash railroad, another is con-
nec.ed with one of the big packing
companies. Both are said to hold
anu TtSDOuSlDle DOSlllOHS.
In all probability the remains will
be shipped east to the old home in
Kansas for burial.
Too Proud To Ask.
Surely the children did not know
of the fathers condition or they
would have come to his assistance, if
as it is reported. they hold lucrative
and responsible positions. Doubtless
the father was too proud and inde-
pendent to let his childrsn know that
he was out of work and in need of
assistance.
As far as known the deceased had
appealed to no one for financial as
sistance nor discussed these matters
He was greeted by many yesterday
and seemed cheerful.
The Masonic lodge of this city is
looking after the arrangements. The
deceased was a faithful member of
the great order and was of high de-
gree in Masonry.
The deceased, it is known, had re-
marked to several persons of suffer-
ing from pains in his head He was
not well.
l. w. Zimmerman as far as is
known, had but few undesirable
traits. He conducted himself in a
most honorable manner during his
residence in Grand Junction. He
made many friends and gained the
respect of all who knew him and
many deeply regret his untimely
death.
There is nothing more pathetic
than the self-murder of man of
good character and splendid qualifi-
cations but who is broken under
great sorrow and despondent over
material circumstances. aage ~

LOWELL SCHOOL
SEARCHED
FOR STOLEN COIN
Fifty Boys and Girls Undergo
the Humiliation When SIS
Piece Disappears
Treated as Suspected Thieves
Despite Protests and Keen
Indignation
Principal Frank Morton Gives
Order and Prof. Cr0fts
Directs Search

Fifty pupils, boys and girls, OF the
Lowell high school were Inundated
yesterday afternoon by an order of
Principal Frank Morton directing that
each be searched in an effort to locate
a SIS gold piece which one of the
young women had lost. The incident
occurred in the classroom presided
over by Prof. Francis E. Crofts. The
money was first missed during an ex-
pertinent in the chemistry laboratory.
Outraged at this treatment the pupils
protested against the implication of
theft. Many of the boys were strong
in their denunciation of the order, but
Professor Crofts, insisting that he had
jurisdiction, locked the classroom doors
and proceeded with the search Out of
deIicacy the girls were removed TO
another classroom. and they in turn
were searched by Miss NJ. NJ. Cox, head
OF the department of modern languages.
At the conclusion of the search the
teachers were forced TO confess that
their suspicious had been unwarranted-
The missing gold piece was not found
on any of the pupils.
To avoid the notoriety Of the scandal,
steps were taken Immediately by the
school authorities TO suppress ali pub
licity. Principal Frank Morton refused
absolutely last night TO discuss the
matter. Prof. Frank Croft declared
that the action was legitimate one,
asserting that he had complete juris-
diction in the classroom.
Many OF the pupils, however, ex-
pressed bitterness over the indignity to
which they were forced to submit.
Some of the teachers Joined them in
the denunciation. When the parents
learned of the affair movement was
set on foot to refer the entire subject
to the board of education with re-
quest for a complete investigation.
While the teachers in the high school
admitted that the facts were as stated.
they steadfastly declined to give the
name of the young lady who lost the
money. Neither would they reveal who
first suggested that the pupils be
searched Professor Crofts said that
when the news was first impaired to
the class some of the boys proposed
that a general search be made. Among
the teachers there appeared TO be q
general sentiment that some one had
acted unwisely. An effort was made to
check all mention Of the matter, bus
when the pupils were dismissed at noon
time they talked freely and the news
soon spread throughout the school.
There are nearly 500 scholars in the
school and in 10 minutes every one
knew what had occurred.
The Lowell high school uses the
building in the morning and the girls
high school in the afternoon. When the
pupils Of the girls high.schooI went TO
their classes the tale was passed around
in whispers. Expressions of sympathy
were general for the class which had
been SO Inundated.
The action taken by the Lowell high
school teachers yesterday was one OF
the most unusual proceedings ever
taken in an American schoolroom. In
the history OF the San Francisco school
department there is no record OF
similar occurrence.

ering, which will be composed of 500
delegates, to come to Hattiesburg.
The committee is composed of

The association is to hold its meet
ing in April and three states will be

citizens that the association can be
brought to this city.
