After locking irto the facts con.
cerning his brothers untimely death,
Abbott Mills shared the same belief
as did the unfortunate young mans
friends in this city, that his death was
due to suicide and not to any acci-

any note that would explain why he
took his life. and the theory that tenn
porary insanity due to i'll health,
caused him to commit the ra 81 act,
is therefore practically substantiated.
During his brief stay in Las Vegas,
Abbott Mills was the guest of Chief
