Ties Stone to His Neck
And Leaps Into River

TOLEDO, July 16.-After tying a
twenty-pound stone around his neck,
William Tester, thirty-nine, jumped
from the Lake Shore railroad bridge
into the Maumee river today, and was
drowned in eighteen feet Of water. A
revolver containing five loaded cart
ridges was found in the dead mans
pocket.
The fact that each of the shells were
indented, indicating that they had failed
to explode when the trigger was pulled,
leads Coroner Henzler to believe Texter
had attempted suicide with the revolver
before he jumped into the river. De-
spondency over domestic troubles Is
given as the cause OF the suicide

OF Interest to Claim Owners

1t has been held and it is a well es-
tabl'shed precedent, that the annual
assessment work on group of claims
may be concentrated upon one or more
claims II the work done is such as to
contribute to the improvement of all .
FOR example, cross-cut tunnel designed
TO traverse series of contiguous claims
VIII manifestly benefit the whole group,
SO that 1t matters not at what point in
the group the operations are carried on,
provided, that the total work done is
equivalent to an expenditure of 500 on
each claim. In the language of the law
1t is a question of fact which in the event
OF controversy, must be determined BY
the jury. The burden of proof falls
upon the claimant.
