Previous Attempt Made.

1t lis learned by The Sentinel that
some weeks Zimmerman made an ef-
fort to kill himself making many ar-
rangements similar to those he made
Yesterday. One day he told Mrs.
Baer he was going to Uteh on u busi-
ness trip. 1t Is known that he went
to the Western Hotel and engaged a

The daily sentinel., 1908-05-30

Out of employment, out of funds,
Idespondent over the death of his be-
loved wife and in bad health, the
unfortunate man who had once held
positions of great responsibility, had
decided to end it all and seek solace
and rest in the enlless sleep OF
death.
The announcement of the suicide
of Mr.. Zimmerman caused pro-
found sensation and came as shock
to the scores of friends and acquaint-
ances of the deceased, who never
dreamed that the man had reached
a stage of wretchedness where he
would seek to end his own life.
Yesterday evening late Zimmer-
man went to the Western hotel and
engaged a room. He told the clerk
that he desired to be called for Rio
Grande train No. 4 this morning, as
lhe expected to go east.
zimmerman then retired to the
broom assigned him and nothing more
was heard from him during the
night. About S O'Clock the clerk at
the hotel went to Zimmerman S
room and knocked on the door. Zim-
norman responded and stated that
he would get up and be down pres
emily.
Some time passed, and thinner
man did not appear. The clerk again
went to the door of the room,
knocked and got no response. He
then opened the door and found
Zimmerman lying dead upon the
bed.
The hotel proprietor at once
| called up Chief of Police O'Neil, who
reached the hotel in about 10 min
utes and was the first official to en-
ter the room of death.
DR.. A G. Taylor and Coroner H.
S. Day quickly followed. The ply
sicians were too late to recall the
| life of Zimmerman. His death had
been instantaneous.
Had Not Dressed.
Zimmerman lay on the bed in his
night clothes. He had evidently
slept the greater part of the night.
He was lying almost directly on his
back. His left arm was bent slight
ly under the head and across the left
arm rested the right arm and the
hand in which was the black colored
small calibered instrument of an
The head rested on the pillow. From
the bullet hole in the head the brains
were oozing.
The daily sentinel., 1908-05-30
His Grief Was Great.

About two years ago Zimmerman S
wife died, and his heart seemed brok-
en-. His devotion to his wife had
been beautiful and ideal. Probably
her death was one of the things that
caused him to come west and away
from old scenes and old associations.
But, from all reports, his grief new
er lessened.
The deceased was 81 years of age
and has several grown children In
the east

Left Her n Note.

Yesterday evening Mr.. Zimmerman
The daily sentinel., 1908-05-30
In DelapIain's Office.

Upon coming to Grand Junction,
Zimmerman looked up several old
acquain.ances among whom was M.
o. Delaplain, the well known real
estate man. Mr.. Delaplain knew of
Zim merman's bushes qualifications
aud his commendable record. Mr..
Zimm erman made arrangements with
Mr.. Delaplain to work for the latter
on commission and he entered upon
his duties. He remained with Mr..
Delaplain until about two weeks ago
when by mutual consent and with no.
ching but pleasant relations on each
side Mr.. Zimmerman gave up his
position in the Delaplain offices. He
then began to look about for anoth-
er position.
1t seemed that his efforts to Sc
cure work were without avail.
Mr.. Zimmerman had never seemed
very Respondent in talking to Mr..
Delaplain, and had never mentioned
that he was contemplating suicide.
Mr.. Delaplain has only good words
to say of the deceased He was a
straigh forward, respectable. compe-
tent, honorable man and so always
conducted himself. He was careful
and Conscientious in his work.
He Rarely COmpnineu.
Immediately after coming to this
city Zimmerman took rooms at the
home of Mrs. Baer, 357 PitlIin, and
remained there until yesterday. The
family thought much of him. He
conducted himself In "a most com
mendable manner and was always
| neat about his room and his appear
ance.
Mrs. Baer stated to Sentinel rep
resentative this morning that he had
never seemed very Respondent. He
had talked with her several times OF
his sorrow over his wife's death, but
he did not bitterly complain of his
condition. He told where his chill
dren were and what they were do
ing.

Yesterday evening Mr.. Zimmerman

Pathetic in Extreme.
Letter Dated May %.

The letter to Mr.. DelapIain was
dated May %, last Monday, showing
that Zimmerman had suicide under
contemplation then, but did not make
up his mind to end his life until last
right.
The daily sentinel., 1908-05-30
Prepared for the End.

There is no question but what
Zimmerman had been planning fol
days for the suicide. Every circum'
stance indicates it, and he doubtless
went to the hotel last night fully de
termined to kill himself before morn
ing.
1t seems that no one in the hote'
heard the fatal shot. but man in an
adjoining build!ng heard the report

What Hs Would SHY A..

In a certain recent case a groom
was being cross examined by bar
rister more famous for talent than
beauty of features. The clever ad-
vocate was endeavoring to find out
about the temper of a horse, which
had an important bearing on the
case. but the witness was not very
lucid
Does he shy p he was asked.
The groom said he did.
AT WHAT was the next ques-
ton.
AT lots of things was the an
swer. And for long no better or
further particulars could be got.
But Mr. Witt, determining to get a
clearer answer, went on.
"But tell me-" he. said in his most
suave tones, "of any particular thing
he would shy at
"Well. ed shy at you,' was the
unexpected answer. And every one
seemed to wonder whether that was
evidence.-London Answers.

When was buooilo treasury

Then she saw that place IN the
fence welded to me and let me IN,
so she tried it. She nudged the
cate with her nose until she hit the
latch, and the gate swung open and
let her in. There was an audible

the gate. and, as luck would have it,
when she hit the latch the gate
swung open. But shall we conclude
that the beast had any idea at all
