WEALTHY MAN ENDS LIFE
Millionaire Lumberman Kills Self il
st. Paul Hotel.

st. Pau Hotel.
William Sauntry, one time lumber
king of the St. Croix river, shot and
killed himself in a room at the Ryan
hotel, st. Paul. His body was found
by hellboy.
Nothing to explain his act was left
in the room or in his pockets by the
former millionaire lumber and coal
man.
No one heard the report of the re-
volver. The bullet entered the roof
Of Sauntry's mouth and passed direct
ly through the brain.
Mr.. Sauntry, who was sixty-one
years old, arrived at Saltwater when
twenty years old He entered the
lumber industry and for time drove
oxen in the lumber and logging camps.
His business ability brought him rap
idly to the front of the industry.
When the lumber industry began to
wane Mr.. Sauntry invested his money
in. coal mines and in the iron fields of
Northern Minnesota.
In this industry he made the bulk Of
his money and at one time was rated
at nearly 100000.

No. 301 in the Airotsa Hotel was en-
gagged by one Miss Flo Reid. At $40
the same Miss Flo Reid stepped to the
mail chute to deposit a letter and very
clumsily locked herself out. When the
attendant came to her assistance she
couldn't remember whether her room
was 3O1 or 3oa Perhaps the attendant
would be kind enough to open both?
The attendant was obliging. Flo deftly
caught the catch in the lock Of room No.
300 and when the attendant had left she
stole into the room occupied by Carlos
Luria, former president OF San Berna-
dino.
The daughter of the secret service
chief drew a long breath OF relief. It
had been easy up to that point, but
what should she do when Luria returned
for his rendezvous with Tammamota?
But she would probably find a way; love
always does, and this mission was really
one of love, she assured herself after
moment of determination. There ! as
a litter Of papers on Luria's table, docu-
ments that seemed dreadfully important
and beyond her comprehension. She
picked up a letter at the bottom Of which
was a tangle of pen strokes that looked
as if they might be Luria's signature.
We need 105 boxes OF shoes and 100
boxes OF baked beans at once" she read.
Baked beans-shoes-' 1t was funny,
but Flo had no time for further reflec-
ton. Someone was approaching: a key
was inserted in the keyhole. She looked
about her anxiously and saw an inviting
closet door. Just as she closed IL behind
her she saw the ponpous Luria and the
shifty-eyed butler enter the room.
She heard the scrapIng Of a chair. Luria
puffed laboriously and said something
about baked beans. Flo trembled with
eXcitment as she held the door open a
trifile and listened. The ex-President had
flattened a document against the table.
and now he handed II to Tammamota
with an admonition to be extremely care
full She strained her ears to catch the
whispers between the men. Her heart
throbbed furiously-this was the evidence
her father had told Dick he must obtain

but wrest that paper from the Japanese,
Her mind reeled dizzily. In a secure re-
treat in her dress was a little silver
handled pistol Should she spring upon
them and at the point of the pistol de-
mand the document, or?
There was a knock somewhere. She
quickly shut the door. You must hide
in here" She heard Luria say excitedly
and the next moment the door was flung
open and the Japanese butler tumbled

into the closet. The next instant the
door had been slammed.
Don't get excited. Fammsmota," she
whispered, amazed at her own coolness.
She pressed a bit of cold steel against
his temple The butler shrank from her
with a gasp. Now that paper-the one
in your inside pocket. I want II, please" "
She felt strangely thrilled. The butler
fumbled in the darkness. and presently
her fingers closed over a bit OF paper.
Thank you, Tammamota. And please
keep quiet" Her heart raced exultantly.
The evidence that had been sought in
vain by the cleverest men in the secret
service was in her hands. She had out
witted them all, including Dick. II she
could but get away safely
She heard Dicks voice. and then Luria
suggested they go downstairs for cigar
cites. Evidently the old rascal was
anxious to rid himself of his visitor.
When she had heard the outer door close
and assured herself the men had gone
she stepped warily from the closet and
bolted the door behind the butler.
With the document tucked away in her
mum she hastened down. In the lobby
she found Luria and Dick bantering with
the pretty girl behind the cigar counter.
Presently the ex-President turned away
and lit his cigarette with a thoughtful
expression, and Flo surmised his mind
was worried by shoes and baked beans.
In an instant she had mapped out her
course OF procedure and stepped up to
