THE END OF DUNCAN.
Slayer of Jimmy Cole Ends Life in the
County jail.

Slayer of Jimmy Cole Ends Life in the
County jan.
Frank DUNCAN cheated the peniten-
tiary or the gallows and ended his own
life in the county Jail at Glendale yes
terday.
Coroner Boardman was called up yes
terday morning about 9:l5 and apprised
of the fact that during the night Dun
gan had hanged himself with a rope in
his cell. He at once left for there
with Charley Moore by auto. With
the aid Of his suspenders and a piece
of rope DUNCAN had secured the drop
so his feet barely touched the floor.
He had padded the floor with quilts and
bed clothes SO any noise he might make
would be deadened. Before carrying
out the fiendish scheme of ending his
life he had secured the cell door with a
chain, the chain being fastened by
wire. Where he received the rope and
chain is conundrum to the officials.
Sheriff Reames said the prisoner had
been very melancholy and cross the
past four or five days. He would eat
little or nothing. It is believed his
mind was deranged.
Frank DUNCAN is the man who with
out warning shot Jimmy Cole at Full
lerton on March 9th, last. He was at
once arrested and was being detained
in the county Jail awaiting trial by dis
trict court. Mrs. DUNCAN was COM
mitted to the asylum at jamestown
last year and died there since her hus-
band has been detained. Lately the
children have been taken to their for
mer home at Fulda, MINI.
The remains of DUNCAN will be in
tered in the cemetery at Glendale.

Choral Club Has Picnic.

Monday evening of this week the
members of the Choral Club, loaded
with many good things to eat and a
few pieces of athletic apparatus,
wended their way to Johnson's grove
to enjoy one of their old time picnics.
The fact that it was the usual supper
time when they arrived, caused them
toprepare the evening meal without de-
lay. The members of the club prepared
themselves especially for the feast by
an occasional round of athletics during
the time the eatables were being pre-
pared, and were thus the more able to
dispose of all the goods.
An indoor base ball game occupied
the attention of the whole group for
about an hour after the meal was over.
The score at the end of the seventh in
ming, when the game closed, was eight
to fifteen in favor Of Philadelphia. The
pitcher for the Chicago Cubs was Rank.
The Philadelphia pitcher, Pitts, was in
fine trim and handled the sphere in a
manner that caused the greatest admir-
alton of the "fans." Had the Chicago
first baseman eaten a little less, he
might have saved the day for the Cubs.
The second baseman, of the Chicago
team was the best ever. The umpire
received his share of abuse, as usual,
and the score keeper burned up the
score card to prevent the captains from
engaging in further words over the
result of the game.
All members report a very fine time.
This was their last social until Septem-
Der, as voted by the club at its last
business meeeing.
