NEW YORK, July 9.-Sixteen-year-old
Peter Grub shot himself in the back in
front of the hatrack mirror in his home,
at 424 East 18th street. last night, and
after he had been removed to Bellevue
Hospital, where ii is said he will re-
cover, his mother said dime novels were
responsible for his attempt at suicide.
She says her son had been reading de-
tective and wild west stories for three
years, and of late had often terrorized
his four younger sisters and brother by
impersonating the character of some dime
novel hero. He had lost place after place
because he neglected his work and per-

blood and robbery. she declared.

the Presbyterian Hospital.
While the wounded boy was being pre-

arm around and behind his back in order
to shoot himself as he did, for the wound

COUNTY TREASURER
Thomas f.. Pasteur.

To the Democratic Voters of Mar
ion County: Into your hands / re-
Spectfully submit my candidacy for
re-election as county treasurer. And
in justification OF this doubtless my
last and final plea for your patronage,
will say that il has been my earnest
TO give TO the public an eff
cient as well as the safest service to
be had. Just how efficient the public
records of this county speak for them
selves, but as a measure OF safety
have contributed from my private
means an aggregate OF something over
81 800 TO the end that Marion county, S
finances might be amply safeguarded.
And along this line i could say more
but as the state Of Florida does not
exact such outlay on the part OF its
incumbents surely there is wanting no
better evidence OF faithful and con-
scientious discharge of duty
Therefore, If in your Judgment such
measures, precautionary and protec-
tive: are in keeping with the respon-
sibilities intrusted to me and worthy
of favorable consideration, then 1 ask
your support and for past favors, /
am, Gratefully yours.
