III Health Caused Suicide.

For the last seven years Hawkins had
been in i'll health and was at times tenn
porarily insane. He brooded continually
over his sillness, but was never known
to threaten his own life. A short time
ago he became dissatisfied with his home
in the city and expressed a desire TO live
in the country. One week ago he pur-
chased a little farm in Mill Creek and Il
day later moved his family TO their new
home. For many years he had resided at
CPS South Second East street The family
had inst gotten settled in the new home
and he seemingly was in the best of spir-
it's II IS believed that ne was seized
with a temporary fit of insanity which
caused him to take his life.
The shock Of the death of her father
and her husband has placed Mrs. Haw-
kins in a serious condition.
Hawkins was born and raised in this
city and was 43 years of age. He is sur
viVed by widow and five children, the
Oldest being about IL years of age and
the youngest about years Old.

suicide yesterday morning by shooting
himself with a shotgun. The exact time
of the suicide is not known. as there was
none of the family at home when the IN
fortunate man shot himself.
1t Is believed that the fatal shot was
fired about o'clock. The body was dis
covered by his I4-year-old daughter. who
had returned from visiting friends in or
der to prepare his dinner. Hawkins was
43 years of age and had lived in Salt Lake
the greater part of his life. For the last
seven years he had been confined 10 his
bed with spinal trouble. and II was on
account of i'll health thatzhe took his life.
Early yesterday morning Mrs Hawkins
received word that her father, IL. ;. Buck

Just died She Immediately came up

at home About s o'clock the girl called
her father for breakfast, but he did not
respond. She believed he was sleeping
and did not disturb him Shortly after
breakfast the girl left her home to visit
some friend in the Deighborhood. About
II o clock she returned home and again
through a window into his room and saw
him lying on the bed with q gun in MS

Barred Himself in.

After the girl had left the house yes
terday morning he had barred the door
of the house with a heavy steel bar. He
then nailed down every window securely,
making sure that no one could disturb
him. Loading his shotgun, he placed the
butt of the weapon against the foot of
the bed and the muZzle in his mouth.
Lying flat on the bed, he pulled the trig-
ger of the gun with his walking cane.
Death resulted instantly. the entire left
side of his face and head being blown
away.
Deputy Sheriffs Sharp and Steel were
detailed on the case and arrived on the
scene of the tragedy about L o'clock and
ordered the body sent to the undertaking

In the meantime the body OF II. c
Backwalter father of Mrs. Hawkins. had
been --emoyed TO the same establishment.

ter and brother, were at the undertake
ing establishment selecting a casket for
their father when the deputy sheriffs
