PUZZLED OVER SUICIDE OF
WEALTHY MANUFACTURER

Relatives of Christian Wolf, veal
thy manufacturer, who committed
suicide yesterday, are at loss for a
reason for his act.
Wolf, who was a partner in the firm
of Wolf, Sayer & Heller, Peoria and
Fulton sts:, a firm incorporated at
100000, went to his Office alone
yesterday, sent the Waterman to the
other end of the building and then
shot and killed himself.
He leaves a wife, two sons and one
daughter, living at 1857 Grand blvd.
They believe he was mentally de-
ranged, and to back up their asser-
ton they point to the general tone
of four letters left, in which financial
reverses is limited. They say there is
no reason for such intimations.
Wolf was a brother of Adam Wolf
of the Board of Assessors.

HONOR WAS SATISFIED,
so WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

so WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
On the outskirts of. unromantic
Chicago two men fought duel yes
terday to satisfy their honor. And at
the end of the duel they were per-
fectly satisfied. Neither were hurt.
The affair took place in little
strip of woods near Riverside. The
combatants were Christian Botker,
editor and publisher of the Danish
Norwegian paper, Hevyen, and Ed
ward Petersen, local correspondent
of the Poster, a Milwaukee news
paper.
The duel was caused by the publ
cation of an unsigned letter in Rev.
ven assailing Petersen. The latter de-
handed the name of the writer. Bot
ker refused. The challenge and &C
ceptance followed.
Yesterday two automobiles, filed
with friends, brought the two men
out to the dueling ground.
The duelists were handed reVolVers.
They walked twenty PAGES each then
turned and fired. The first shots
went wild.
Again the revolvers were loaded.
Again the same walk. And again
they missed. Each breathed lightly.
Petersen announced that. he had OBJ
tanned satisfaction. The erstwhile
combatants shook hands. Business
of adjourning to a nearby roadhouse.

CATTLE BROUGHT RECORD PRICE
Recently N LOCAL STOCK SALE


A cattle deal recently negotiated,
which involved the transfer Of 1000
head. is reported by II. II. Kelly of
the Deming National Bank. with the
information that they brought sew
eral dollars more a head than were
ever paid before. just how much,
however, he was not at liberty to
say. The stock will he shipped north
for feeders sometime IN May. Hyatt
Brothers. J. p. Mum, Ed. Latham,
James Kerr. j. c. Barksdale 7. r.
Templeton, and other cattlemen were
in the deal.
Catilemen report the stock and
ranges Of Grant and Luna counties in
better condition this year than for
several years past. II would not
seem that the tariff had effected the
border counties as to the price Of
beef ON the hoof. Certainly, with the
cost of range stock, the
price of meat to the consumer will
hold another little AVIATION meet with
the prospect of breaking the altitude
record.

inst when the campaign for the

j, as hi. opinion that only registered

eording To the provisions of Section

Complying with your oral request
for the opinion Of this Office as To
whether an unregistered person may
