Wambold Called Woman Up
to Hear Him Die In
Store Booth.
SQUANDERED LEGACY.
Deserted Wife and Children to
Spend Thousands on Pro-
tracted Spree.

Peter Wambold's family to-day ex-
planned that he shot and killed himself
Ing which he squandered bequest OF
several thousand dollars left by his
mother who died recently In Germany.
The suicide was forty-six years old and
retired from the restaurant business a
year ago with a snug fortune,
Wambolds wife and their two sons,
Frank, seventeen years old, and Peter,
five, were unable, until his tragic death,
10 find any trace of the missing man
after lie got the money left by his
mother. They have been staying with
bold, at No, 81 Central avenue, Brook
Ign.
The telephone rang at the Wendell
home last night and Wambod's husky
voice was heard at the other end Of the
wire by Mrs. Wendell.
How are you, sister, asked Nam'
bold. lis my wife there?"
mo- where have you been?' Mrs.
Wendell queried.
Never mind about that" replied the
man II have decided to kill myself.
Don't ask why. There's lots OF rea-
son for It, but can't collect my mind.
Listen now, and you'll hear the shot"
Heard Shot Over Phone.
The next instant a pistol shot sounded
clearly over the wire and Mrs. Wendell
collapsed.
Wambold shot himself in a telephone
booth at the drug store Of otto Stuff,
No. 593 Bushw!ck avenue. The druggist
rushed to the booth and found Wambold
dead in the chair with his head hanging
upon his chest Wambod had shot him
self through the right temple. 1t took
the police reserves to keep the women
and children out OF the drug shop, SO
keen was the morbid curiosity.
The suicide left three letters on the
telephone stand One was addressed to
his sister, another to his son Frank and
a third to a life insurance company
They were taken by the Coroner.
Drink and too much spending money
were the reasons ascribed by the widow
for the suicide.

ould give the Nevada Northern
advantage Of through business in ad-
dition to the augmented local traffic,
1t is believed the Guggenheims will
look with favor upon any advances
made by the Gould line. The altern-
alive would be to tie up with the
Southern Pacific. It is thought to
be utterly out of the question, as It
would in no way improve the Nevada
Northern. but would leave it rela-
lively In the status of an ore road
which it now is.
