tice Of the Peace D. R. Murray, acting
coroner. Both responded, together
/ with DIR. R. X. McClanahan, and
made an examination. The empty
poison bottle, the wording of the notes
found in the room and other evidences,
contained such unmistakable proof
that it was case of self-destruction
that Judge Murray decided an inquest
was unnecessary. The body, which
was almost fully clothed, Ray having
only removed his shoes and socks, to-
gether with his coat, before going to
bed, was turned over to the Las Vegas
Undertaking company and removed to
the morgue.
Little Known or Ray
The dead man was about sixty-two
years old His hair was partially gray
and his features showed .he was well
along in years. His constitution was
racked by rheumatism and dissipation.
According to Major Flint, of the Cen
tral hotel, Ray came there on the 18th
of last month and made arrangements
to stay indefinitely. He worked at his
trade, that of a barber, at odd times
at the Beehler shop, across from the
Commercial club, although the pro-
prietor and employees of this shop knew
little about him. Flint was perhaps
as well acquainted with him as any OF
his friends here. In an interview
with an Optic representative yesterday
afternoon he stated that Ray played
cards on Saturday night in the hotel
Office with several of the guests, and
seemed in happy frame of mind. He
retired about 10:30 or IL o'clock, and
that was the last seen of him alive.
So far as Flint knew the dead man
was of regular habits. However,
others who knew him said that he
was addicted to drink and whenever
he secured any money these say he
spent 1t Tor HQuOr.
Notes lie Left
The notes left by the dead man
were addressed to Major Flint, Mrs
Flint, proprietress of the hotel, and to
the undertaken The note to Major
Flint read:

and clothes brush to my boy, Warren
Ray, Richland, Kansas. Find money

The note to Mrs. Flint was more
extended and in it he gave the cause
for his suicide, and apologized for
killing himself in the hotel It read
MRS. Flint:

RAWHIDE, Jan. 25.-Thomas H.
Prooban, alias Niblock, who COM
mitted suicide here, has career that
reads like a romance. His effects,
examined by the officers, show that
he is of the historic family of Proc
ban, that came to Ireland from
Scotland and from that time, some
400 years ago, has been active in all
matters pertaining to state and
church in West Downs, Ireland.
Thomas H. Prooban began his ca
reer when he graduated from Dublin
university at the head of his class at
the age of eighteen, and with the
highest honors attainable.
At the tender age of twenty-one he
was elected as representative in the
commons in Belfast for West Downs
His speeches and eloquence marked
him at once as man of unusual
gifts.
At the zenith of his second session
he became enamored with a woman
He eloped with her-threw his glory
and future to the winds and wander

Of Us to Hustle II Only for

1t is great mistake to believe that
the rich are holding us down AS a
matter Of fact, they are pulling us
up. If there were no rich people to
keep our eyes glued upon the great
gulf between having and not having,
none of us would hustle. We have
to have the rich mans mansion prod
ding us, his power scourging us and
his automobile butting us, to get any.
where at all. We have to see his
wife and daughter in silks and Jewels
and realize what our own wives and
daughters without these things think
of US as providers, to peel our coats
OF and get into the game. None Of
US can 60 out driving with such as
we have and suffer the rich man to
vhiz past US in prism glass and bur
nished brass, throwing dust In our
hair. without doing better In the
great arena of human endeavor for
the next two or three days, anyway.
Blessed are the rich, for they fill
us with shame and new resolve and
make US to wonder what in the Sam
Hill we have been doing all these

to England in 1873, had curious
experience in the distinguished
strangers gallery of the house Of com

the legislators at work. but when he
made a move to 60 he was told he
could. not leave the gallery. It hap
pened at that moment that division
was called, and in accordance with
the practice which then prevailed all
the doors of the house were locked un-
