DRIVEN TO SUICIDE

Joe Heidenreich, the young
ranchcr near Carson who has been
receiving anonymous letters, com
mitted suicide yesterday morning
by shooting himself with q revolver.
He placed the weapon in his mouth
and palled the trigger. the bullet
plowi.is its way through his brain
and bringing instant death. He
had gone into the barn yard to milk
the COWS. Not returning his father
went to look for him and found his
body.
Memoranda fond in his pockets
stated that he had decided it would
be better to take mis- own life than
to commit murder and said that in
case he lived he would be compell-
ed to kill Robinson from whom he
and his brother leased the ranch.

and asked that she be provided for

The young man was "a years old
and a native Of Franktown. For
several weeks he and his brother
have received anonymous letters
threatening their lives and property
if they did not leave the ranch they
had leased from a man named Rob-
inson.
The letters were turned over to
the authorities but they were un-
able to unravel the mystery. These
letters were undoubtedly the cause
of the young mans suicide.
The burning Of buildings on the
ranch last week caused a good deal
Of feeling in Carson and it would
have gone hard with the guilty
party if he had been caught. The
suicide of the young man has in
tensihed the feeling caused by the
fire and the anonymous letters.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused from the inHamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachinn Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, end
when II is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless innamma-
tion car be taken out and this tube
restored to It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an

FOUR GOLDFIElO MEN KILLED

An automobile driven by Dr.. E.
A. Wheeler of Goldfeld went over
a bank early Tuesday morning he
tween Goldfeld and Tonopah, kill
ing DR.. Wheeler and Dan ialyey
instantly and injuring Cyrus Rice
and Herman Kruger so badly that
they died a few hours afterward.
Louis Bannister, the fifth member
NJ the party, escaped witn slight
injuries. The accident was pri-
marily due to a disabled automobile
that had been left in the road.
About 80 Knights of Pythias,
travelling in ID automobiles, had
been on a visit to the Tunopah
lodge and we're returning to Gold
field when the accident occurred.
The disabled automobile was pass
ed safely on the going trip. DR..
Wheeler was running at a terrific
speed as he approached the obstruc-
ton. As he attempted to tnrn out,
the front wheels of his machine
climbed the slight raise on the side
Of the road but the rear wheels
dragged along the rut for a dis
lance of 125 feet, after passing tho
disabled car. Wheeler was unable
to right his car. Suddenly the
e a wheels mounted the rut and
the car plunged 25 feet from the
road. The left front wheel sunk
into the ground and the car turned
over on its side.
Falyey, who was sitting in the lap
Of Kruger beside DR.. Wheeler, was
thrown on his head, face downward
and was caught by the outside
woodwork of the right front seat.
Wheeler was thrown against the
steering wheel and his dead body
fell under it and on top Of Falvey's
body. Rice fell face downward
and was pininned on the ground
by the hub of the left rear wheel
resting on the left side of tho small
portion of his back. Kruger was
thrown about rs feet from the tar
landing on his face. Bannister was
thrown about 25 feet, landing in
the sagebrush.
A few minutes after the accident.
several machines arrived and their
occupants lifted the wrecked auto
off the dead and injured and they
were taken to Goldfeld. All Of
them we're prominent citizens Of
that city.
According to B%annister, Dr..
Wheeler was going at the rate of
80 miles an hour when the accident
occurred. He is said to have been
a speed maniac and nlways drove
