HENRY ROHwER A SUICIDE
On Tuesday at Six O'clock the Body Of Henry
Rohwer was Discovered By His Son.

Henry Rohwer, long time resi-
dent Of West Side. commit ed suicide
on Tuesday of this week. The first
intimatlon that he intended to commit
this rash act was when his son,
August Rohwer, found that his father
had hung himself. The discovery
was made about six o'cluck in the
morning. and the indications were
that his father had been dead several
hours before the discovery.
Mr.. Rohwer had been in poor health
for long time, and had sumbitted to
one or more surgical operations in
order to secure relief but without the
success wished for. On account of
his advanced age. he did not gain
strength after the last operation and
suffered great deal of pain. 1t is
thought that he became discouraged
about the state of his health and
decided to give up the struggle. He
left note stating that he alone
was to blame for the act.
Mr.. Kohwer was a good citizen and
highly respected by his neighbors,
and his sudden death naturally caused
shock to the community. He was
a wild over at the time of his death,
his wife having departed this life
several years ago.

TWO RUNAWAY GIRLS
Two Young Girls Arrested here Monday Nighht
for Jumping Board-bill at Dunlap.

Two young ladies, whose names are
reported as Miss Evans of Kentucky
and Miss Sterling of Oklahoma. came
to Denison on Monday night from
Dunlap, and soon after their arrival a
message was received from the officer
at Dunlap requesting that they be ar
rested for jumping their board bills
at that place. The Denison officer,
out of consideration for the young
ladies and the hotel at which they
were stopping, decided not to arrest
them when first called upon. but
waited until Tuesday morning when
they were arrested and turned over to
the officer from Dunlap to which place
they were taken back.
Their story is that they came to
Dunlap from Omaha a week since
upon the representation of citizen of
Dunlap that they could secure work,
and that he would foot their board
bill for week at least while they
were making an effort to secure
something to do. They claim they
remained in Dunlap for a week with
out securing work and then came to
Denison. They were apparently we'll
dressed young ladies, and nothing in
their appearance conveyed the impress
sion that they belonged to the crimi-
nal class. We hops the charge
against them may prove unfounded.
Later: Information comes to the
effect that the young ladies reside in
Nebraska and that they had started
out to see the world. and wound up
with the sad result above described.
1t is said their father came to Dun
lap and has since taken the girls home,
where it is to be hoped they will drop
their foolish notions Of finding life
away from home preferable to what
it is at home.
