HARVEY CR0CKER
KILLS HIMSELF

Well Known Farmer Of BosskO
Township Commits Suicide by
Cutting His Throat With a
Razor.
At about noon yesterday
the city Of Sisseton was
shocked by the information
that Harvey j. Crocker,
living about eight miles
northwest of here, in Boss
ko township, was dying as
the result of wounds inhict-
ed upon himself with a ra-
ZOr.
The rash deed was COM
mltted in the buggy shed
on the Crocker farm, and
the unfortunate man was
still alive when discovered
by members of his house
hold.
Dr.. Glasier was at once
summoned, but the wounds
which Mr.. Crocker had in
hicted with the razor were
Of such a nature that he
was dead before medical as
sistance could reach him.
Crocker was a man of ex-
cellent standing in the COM
munity, and the only reason
that can possibly be assign
ed for the suicide is mental
ALTERATION brought ON by a
fit of dependency over fl
nancial matters.
Coroner Taplin and O.
P. Rask left the city short
ly after noon for the scene
Of the suicide, the coroner
holding an inquest over the
remains soon after his ar
rival at the Crocker farm.
The verdict of the coroner's
jury was that deceased had
come to his death by
wounds inflicted by a razor
in his own hands.
Mr.. Crocker had resided
in Roberts county for seven
teen years, and was we'll
thought of by all who knew
him. He was 46 years old,
and is survived by a wife
and one child, and an aged
mother W h O resides a t

He was a member in good

that Doctor Wiley is the "apple

the object of a great deal of
sympathy throughout the country

the mistaken idea that someone

CHIEF BRONCO BUSTER ]
 KINNEY OR YOUNG
One Thing that May Be Deter mined at Coming Cow
 boy Tournament

Who is really the champion bronco buster of the southwest? Jim Kinney holds that reputation and there are many who will back him against any bronco in the territory, But in the cowboys tournament Sunday Ihere will be little horse that will carry the money of a bunch of sports from Naco, against Kinney.
 It is not known definitely whether Kinney will take part in the tourna- ment. but he will if his. leg. which was injured recently when he was thrown by a bronc at Lowell, is in condition. Being a champion bronco buster means that the holder of the title is able to stay on any horse brought forward. The Naco bunch have a pony that is reputed never to have been ridden and they are laying their money that Kinney viii not be able to stay on.
 George Young is another bronco buster who will be put to the test Sunday afternoon. Young was with Buffalo Bilrs wild west show for sew eral seasons as a rider and has said that he will not only ride any horse that walks but that he will take the bridle on the animal while he is buck. ing.
 When told that Kinney had a horse that won a medal for buchng, Young said: That's the horse I want to ride"
 Kinney. however, does not believe that Young can ride either the o bay or the s V gray and pull the bri- He of and is willing to bet to back up his opinion Kinney is going to bring the two animals up from his ranch.
 in the light of these things, it is probable that there will be soms championship riding at the park Sun day afternoon. Who is the champion buster. Young or Kinney?
 In connection with the tournament the following challenges have been issued:
 Mack Brown and Keller challenge all corners for wild steer riding.
 The Harrington girls Of Naeo, and Miss Armstrong; of the southern part of the territory, near the line, ehal- lenge any other girls iD the territory in a riding contest.
 The onelegged cowboy challenges any other one legged man in a COW pOny race.
 Jack the Barber challenges any one to a burro bucking contest. All CT these challenges are authorized by Bill Hileman, one of the managers of the tournament

WRESTLING BOUT
 AWAITS WEDDING
Why Kline Cannot Meet Dor TiS in BiSbee Before
 Thanksgiving

Got a letter from Gus yesterday. He has news bun for the mat fans of Bisbee that really should De saved for Sunday society page. but it is too good to keep. So here goes. Young Kline is 10 be married at Kansas City on September aa to Miss Rosie Krong. sc1dite naturally it will be impossible for Kline to meet Sam Benton or Joe Doris this ran;1 CT next month
 Gus writes si,1i, don't \ ,s kiiaw Gus C'Kid') Carillo?-"I wish to an. nonnce, as Kline's manager, that he will not be able to meet Sam Benton or Joe Doris until Thanksgiving Day, on account or his coming marriage to Miss Rosie KrOng, at Kansas City on September 20.
 But he will wrestle them both on Thanksgiving Day. He will be on his honeymoon to Europe until that date. His match with Doris Or Benton will be his last wrestling match. as then | will match him against all boxers. He was pupil of James J. Corbett."
 Leaving Kline for tAe moment in contemplation of his wedding day and European honeymoon, Gus writes: T would like 10 tackle Wilson before [ go on my four years vacation. If Wilson accepts my challenge, l would like to go as a preliminary in the kline-Benton-Dorris match. I will meet him for any side bet I don't care if it is five cents ,or nothing promise to put him down three times in sixty minutes, no rest Co be allowed between falls If he does not accept this offer. I will go OF with my vacation"
 Gus does not say where he Is go- ing on his vacation, but it may be that he will hunt walks in the Hima- layas, and then he may be content to just sail around on the bosom of the Mediterranean Four years is some vacation, and it may be that Gus is contemplating settling for all time the North Pole controversy.
 But to get back to business. Gus encloses some articles for the Ben ton-DOrris-Kline match, in which the following are the cardinal points:
 The match is to take place in Bisbee on Thanksgiving Day.
 Benton and Doris to put up a side bet of .s150 each and Kline to put up $500 against it.
 Benton and Doris to weigh in at 1S5 pounds and Kline 10 weight in three hours before the match at 120 pounds.
 I will go against Doris first at pm. on Thanksgiving Day" writes Kline, and after taking two out of three falls from him I will go after Benton, with a ten-minute rest. IT l lose, will turn over my two medals to them The forfeit money must be posted with The Review a week be- fore the match"
 Gus does not state any particulars as to Kline's wedding. but more than likely it resulted from Kline's ad of several weeks ago, and Gus's loan of his post office lock box. Things will be rather dull around here, with Kline doing" Europe. and Gus in the Hima- layas, but think what it will be when they both get back. That's some con solation. The Wolgast- Mcfarland match will help pass the time away in their absence.
