CHARLES w. POST SUICIDES
 WHILE TEMPORARILY INSANE
Wealthy Cereal Manufacturer Evades
 Nurse and Shoots Himself.

Santa Barbara, Cal, May 10.-Charles w. Post, wealthy cereal food manu- facturer of Battle Creek, Mich, yester- day shot himself to death with a rife while temporarily insane, according to the testimony of his physician, Dr. J. c. Bainbridge, offered at the inquest held shortly after the tragedy. The verdict of the coroner's jury was non committal, holding simply that MT. Post died from the effects of gunshot wound
 MT. Post had suffered i'll health for some time. Recently he made a hur- ried trip to Rochester, Minn, to under go a major operation to save his life. He had been nervous since his return to California and had fought against an inclination to suicide for some time, according to the testimony given at the inquest by Miss Ella Benson, his nurse.
 The nurse said MT. Post had had a horror of a weapon of any kind for several weeks. He had requested that firearms be removed from the house and 1t was thought that the Post homs was free of them.
 Yesterday Mir. Post asked the nurse to leave him alone for a short time and she reluctantly complied. In few minutes a shot was heard, and on en- tering the room the nurse found Mr. Post on the bed with a rifle. The po- sition of the body and the weapon in dicated that the man had placed the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his foot Death was ln- stantaneous.

ports reaching constitutionalist off, cers here. It is reported some of the oil wells and tanks are burning ana that a portion of the town is on hre.
 All Americans, it is said here. have been taken aboard the United states warships but other foreigners are scattered through the oil well district. It was this section of the battlefield that the United States government suggested should be made a neutral zone The constitutionalist generals refused to adopt this suggestion.
 By the light of the blazing oil, fired by stray shots, the rebel artillerynten hurled shot after shot from twenty heavy field guns into the strongly en- trenched position held by General Ig- nacio Morelos Zaragoza, the federal commander in the center of the town, sweeping the breastworl<s with hail of shrapnel in an effort to open the way for a dash by General Pablo Con- zales' infantry.
 For the first time in the fighting between the men of Huerta and Car ranza the constituencies were on equal terms with the federals in the matter of artillery. The twenty French field guns captured by General Con- gales at Monterey and placed in po- Scition before Tampico have done tre- mendous execution, the French shrap- nel bursting with the utmost precision, in sharp contrast to the home made shells used by Villa in his battles about Torreon.
 Seven thousand constituencies under Generals Pedro Gonzales and Luis Caballero are engaged.
