there found the scene of the tragedy.
Mr. McLain was in advance, as they
entered the stable, at first not being

I ssThorson owing to the: poor light. Id
an instant however all the gruesome
details were visible and the body Of
the unfortunate man was seen in a
kneeling posture, the razor still be-
ing clutched In his right hand His
coat. vest, collar and necktie had been
laid aside on a nearby manger and an

The only explanation of the tragedy
seems to- lie in the loss of mental
powers brought on by Ill health and
brooding over his condition on the
part Of the deceased. For some: time
past he was subject to fits OF abstrac-
stion, and several conversations are
now recalled where he showed a very
unsettled state 7 of \ MIND. It Is also
stated that a letter which he receiv-
ed recently from parties in California
in regard to the suicide. Of former
Clerk of Court Saunders, the predec.
Sessor$ Of the. deceased, /, played an i'm
sportant part in the tragedy and sug-
sgested self destruction to his weak
Sened mental conditio ion. There is no
apparent reason for the act, financial
sor otherwise, the deceased being
known to be soautely honest and
very careful In an his business tran
sactions and his family relations were
as happy as a maj, could desire, Dur
Ing the absence of Mrs. Thorson he

They gave several good exhibitions
on the race track Thursday evening to
a crowd of 500 people. After riding a
few wild buckers one of their most
ferocious animals was brought out and
an offer was made of $25 to any man
in the audience who would ride the
animal without pulling leather, No
one answered, but as soon as the an

watched the young railroad man feel
over the girdles TO see that everything
was secure. The'horse turned several
sommersauts and the crowd was soon
pleading with Miller to give up his
endeavor at riding the horse.
A sack was put over the animals
face and after everything was secure

sprang into the saddle. With one ter
