E. {. BRYSON IS
SUICIDE IN OMAHA
Son Of Davenport Postmaster,
Worried Over Losses,
Drinks Poison.
BODY is FOUND IN A PARK
III Health Aggravates Dependency
Had Attained Prominent Place
in Business Life.

Elmer E. Bryson, son of Postmaster
Lon Bryson of Davenport, who ended
his life with poison in Omaha Sun
day afternoon, will be buried in the
family lot in Davenport. Postmaster
Bryson has gone to Omaha to accom-
pany the remains to Davenport. The
following dispatch gives the details
Of the suicide, news of which shocked
the numerous friends of Mr.. Bryson
in the tri-cities, where he was widely
known:
Omaha, Sept 27.-Despondent over
recent financial losses and broken
down in health, Elmer E. Bryson, bus
mess man, capitalist and one OF
Omaha's most prominent citizens
ended his life in Hanscom park Sun
day afternoon by taking poison.
The body was discovered by several
children shortly after o'clock on the
eminence near the Dorcas street en-
trance, lying under tree with the
face turned to the sky. How long the
body had lain there is not certain, but
the children who made the discovery
were confident that they had seen
Mr.. Bryson walking about the spot at
2 o'clock.
Going for Walk.
This is not improbable as Mr.. Bry-
son did not leave the house until about
l o'clock He told his wife that he
was going for a walk. He must have
gone directly to the park, which is
but a short distance from the family
residence at 1142 Georgia avenue, two
blocks cast nf the mark
One of the first persons to reach the
spot was William McCombs of the
park pavilion. He sent a messenger
for DR.. Hart and notified the police.
Officers He'll and Jackson went to the
scene and guarded the body until the
arrival of the coroner. When the ply
stefan arrived the body was cold, show
ing that life had been extinct for some
time.
The character of the poison used is
somewhat of a mystery, which may
not be cleared unless a post-mortem
be performed. Coroner Crosby said
last evening that he would not hold
an autopsy unless it was asked for by
the insurance companies. Friends of
The family are trying to ascertain in
what companies such insurance is
carried

believed to have been the reasons for
the act. Mr.. Bryson had lost consid-
cradle money of late in unfortunate
business speculations He had brood
ed over these losses, although he hao
made no threats to take his life. Last
fall his failing health moved Mr. and
Mrs Bryson to go abroad They re-
manned in Europe until spring.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Bryson left
his diamond ring and other Valuables
at home. The ring first aroused his
wife's suspicious that he contemplated
an act of this kind, but she chased
the forebodings from her mind, hope
full that he would return. AS the after
noon advanced and her husband did
not put in an appearance her fears
returned. The finding of the body
realized her worst misgivings
Friends of Mr.. Bryson assert that his
financial losses were of a personal ma
ture and not large enough to cripple
him in business, but they believe his
undermined health caused him to mag
Nifty the character of these losses.
In Many Business Ventures.
Mr.. Bryson was interested in num-
Der of business ventures. He was for
merIy manager of the Freshman Yeast
company. Four years ago he organ
lied the Gate City Malt company. Al

Perry on North Sixteenth street and
which he had operated up to the pres
ent time. He was a director in the
Omaha Loan and Building association
and also in the Packers National bank
at South Omaha, in both of which IN
situations he held some stock.
Mr.. Bryson was in his 46th year
His father is postmaster at Davenport,
and his only brother is postmaster at

one son grown to manhood and his
wife.
On Governors stan.
Mr.. Bryson had large capacity for
business. his organizations of the malt
company with a capital of $30O,OOO,
being but one of the ventures to illus
trate the confidence reposed in MS
business Judgment and acumen. He
was prominent in Ak-Sar-Ben affairs,
and was a colonel on Governor Say

FROST WARNING is GIVEN
Some Corn, However, Needs Week
to Get Out of Danger.


to Get Out of Danger.
For the third or fourth time this fall
frost has been officially predicted. OBJ
server -Sherier today has advices which
indicated that the present cold wave
would endure till tomorrow and that
there would be a slight freeze tonight.
The minimum temperature in the tower
at the observatory was As, which means
a mark of 40 or less in low places. 1t
will require but few degrees drop to
bring frost tomorrow morning. While
heavy frost now would do good deal
of damage to corn that is not yet fully
matured, light one would rather help
the ripening process. 1t is believed
that, with another week of good wealth
er. practically all corn will be out of
danger.
