Mrs. W. r. Logan, attempted
suicide at his home in Dewitt
this morning about 6 O'clock, by
shooting bimself in the right
side with a revolver. The ball
entered the right side just below
the lung and came out in his
back. While the wound is seri-
oue, it is thought it will not prove
fatal as I'd vital organs were
touched. At 10 o'clock this
morning, after the wound had
been dressed, he was able to sit
up in ted and seemed cheerful.
The unfortunate young man
has been in III health for several
months, his nervous system be.

L.ACHMUND
HEARTILY
|NDORSED
FELLOW ALDERMAN HAS WORDS
OF WARM PRAISE FOR HIM,
AND BUSINESS MEN ARE
PLEASED WITH HIS METHODS.

That Louis Lachmund. the Flight
ing Alderman" from the second ward,
is the popular choice for the Office of
mayor of the city of Salem, is attest
ed by the sentiment expressed by
some of the leading business men Of
the city, who have followed Mr.. Lach7
mund's record in Shandling the busi-
ness affairs of the city during his
term of office as councilman, and
they are unqualifiedly in favor of his
nomination for the high Office to
which he aspires, and which he has
been induced to make the race for by
his friends, at the election to be held
next Saturday.
"Mr. Lachmund is decidedly and
unqualifiedly my choice for the Office
of mayor" said Geo. G. VIII, this
morning, in discussing the mayoralty
question. Mr.. VIII has been in busi-
ness in this city. for several years,
and is very conservative in his views
along political lines. "He has never
failed in business" he continued,
"and has taken care OF the financial
and business sffeirs of the city In q
careful and conscientious manner. II
he is elected we will at least know
who is mayor, and, IL we want Re-
publican at the head of the city gov
eminent we should elect Mr.. Lach-
mund. He has shown that he is a
frst-class business man and is q
thoroughly trustworthy man for the
place. He is broad-minded in his
views conservative and very pro-
gressive and, to my mind, the best
man that could be selected for the po-
sition of trust and honor
From a Fellow Councilman.
Alderman Lachmund is in close
touch with the business affairs of the
city, knows just exactly what is doing
and what is necessary to do in con-
nection with the water proposition,
as well as with all of the municipal
I
under contract and in contemplation,
and is in position to carry out to the
very best of advantage In the inter-
ests OF the city and the taxpayers"
said Alderman N. d. Elliott, who
has served with Mr.. Lachmund dur
ing the latter's term of Office in the
40 - onapofIpaon
HE has mind of his own, and
when he makes up his mind he will
carry things through to the best OF
his jud gment, which we have always
found sound and sensible, regardless
OF any and all influences which may be
brought to bear upon him. The man
who can only devote two hours per
day to the transaction Of the city's
business has no business accepting
the high Office of honor, responsible
ty and trust, because the city of Salem
has grown to such proportions In
population, commercially and indus
trially, that It will be impossible for
the mayor to do justice TO the affairs
of the city without devoting more of
his time and attention to the heavy
responsibilities which fall upon HIS
shoulders. By all means let us carry
out the ideas of progress and devel-
opment that have been outlined for
the future. and Louis Lachmund. Id
Fmy mind, is the best fitted man for
the office of mayor TO see that they
will be carried out"

Mr.. Roberts had an appointment

go to Jefferson today to pay off q
note which they owed jointly to q
bank in that town and Mr.. Roberts
was on his way to stay all night with
his brother upon the farm near

gether to Jefferson this morning to
take up the note. When found the
horse which Mr.. Roberts was driv-
ing was tied by the rein to the rail-
ing of the bridge, upon tho inside,
and the body was found lying about
10 feet south OF the buggy and
horse. The grip, which is supposed
to have contained his money, was
found 80 feet further south of the
body and In it was found $40 iu
cash. His purse was found In the
front of the buggy and this con-
tained $193 In cash, and Superin-
tendent N. II. Looney, of the reform
school, this morning found $40 more
in the water underneath the bridge.
all of which had evidently been
overlooked by the perpetrator Of the

and the remains were first taken TO

moved to the undertaking parlors.
