the bodies of water under that width

had met he youngster, heard his story
and thought he should be looked after.

mia, appearing here yesterday.
He is a likely looking lad and as FAR

Recorder Rogers was much perplexed
by the case, saying that to send the
boy to jail as a vagrant would be to
make a criminal of him, and to let

PASADENA, July 23.-Cheerfully
saying Good by, mother" Joseph Bic
debach, rancher living at the corner
of Santa Anita avenue and Villa street,
Lamanda Park, this morning walked
up stairs, sat down on the bed and shot
himself in the right side of the head.
Death was almost immediate.
Dependency over financial matters,
probably coupled with overindulgence
in liquor, seems to have been the only
cause for the deed. Biedebach had
been worrying for fear he would not
receive payment for a horse which he
had sold recently, and it is stated that
he was hard pressed for money.
He has been respected citizen of
Pasadena for a quarter of century.
The shot was fired from an old Hop
kins & Allen 3S-caliber revolver, which
had been in his possession many years.
During the last twelve years he had
slept every night with 1t under his
pillow. 1t had but one cartridge in it,
and had not been used for long time
until he fired the fatal shot at 1855 this
morning.
Immediately after Biedebach left the
breakfast table and went up stairs his
wife heard the shot, and supposed that
he had been firing at something in the
yard She sent her 12-year-old son,
Joseph, jr., up to see what it was, and
he came screaming uoNn Will Tue
dreadful news.
The family all rushed up, an 1S-year-
old daughter, the eldest of the children,
being the only one to keep her presence
of mind. She called on neighbors, who
notified Constable Harley Newell. He
In turn notified Coroner Hartwell, who
ordered the body removed to the un-
dertaking parlors of Adams, Turner &
Stevens. An inquest will be held soon.
Biedebach leaves a wife, seven chill
dren, ranging from to IS years, a
mother, three brothers and a sister.
He was AZ years of age and was a
