BODY OF SUICIDE TO BE
SENT TO DENVER TONIGHT

The body Of S. Z. Grubbs, who com
mitted suicide by shooting himself
through the head Wednesday, will be
shipped to Denver, where his wife re-
sides, this evening.
1t was learned that Grubbs until
about a year ago was employed by a
large British mining concern in Mex
leo. Owing to the unsettled conditions
o. the country it was thought advisable
TO close the mine down. Being thrown
out of a position and being unable
to obtain one in his own line, Grubbs
then took a position as a miner. The
mine where he was employed also
closed down. Not being able to obtain
employment in Mexico Mr.. Grubbs then
came to FL Paso about a week as.
When found he had in his possession
only 60 cents, a sm;ll gold watch and
a fine umbrella.
