TRAGIC SUICIDE
OF F, n. MILLER

Last evening about 9 o'clock, at
his home on West Fourth street, +.
N. Muller.a a well-to-do business man
of Winnemucca, placed 3S caliber
pistol to his rightsi e and fired a
Dullet into his body, killing himself
almost instantly.
For number of years the
deceased has been in feeble health
and at times he was seriously i'll.
It's believed that the probable cause
for the rash act was this proloned
aggraviating sickness. which finally
unbalanced his mind. All day
yesterday Mr.. Muller acted in a
peculiar manner and shortly
before he took his life his wife left
the house and told his brother, C..
W. Muller, of his TRANCE actions.
The latter Immediately went to
his brothers residence and
endeavored to calm him but without
success. Suddenly the latter pulled
revolver from his pocket and
fired the fatal shot before the
other could stop him. Then he
said, Nov I've done it; I'll go
and lie down." He ,then stepped
into the next room, only going a
few feet when he dropped down,
partially kneeling over a chair, and
in this position he died. DR..
Mangan was Immediately called,
but Mr.. Muller was dead when he
reached the house.
Coroner c. +. Robins was sum-
moned and with jury examined
the body a short time after the
tragi: affair happened and the
remains we're then removed to the
Alter& Alter undertaking parlor.
where they were prepared for
burial
This forenoon an inquest was
held and the jury. composed Of A.
w. Stowe, j. +. Sloan, T. d. La
Point, William Ducker, P. b.
Roberts. GeorgeVanVolkcnbur and
James Ritchie, brought in a verdict
that the deceased came to his death
from gun shot wound, self-inicted."
