Christian Biel Ended His Life;
Fit of Dependency
From Saturdays Daily.

Christian Biel. Jr., farmer, thirty
five years old, living three miles east
of the city on Route No. 4, committed
suicide by hanging shortly before
eleven O'Clock this morning. The
body was found by his thirteen-year-
old girl suspended by rope In the
machine shed, not long after the
deed was committed. The child
quickly gave the alarm and several
men who had been working on the
place, rushed TO the shed and took
the body down. The life was not ex.
tinct and a Mankato physician was
quickly summoned However, II was
discovered that the neck was broken
and medical science availed nothing.
The victim is survived by his wife
and three children. He had recently
bought the old Heidwinkel. farm,
where the family was living and
where the tragic act took place. He
had arranged to build a new home
for his family there, and several
men were employed on that job.
Business Worry the Cause.
Business worry is believed TO have
been responsible for the act. II Is
reported. that Mr.. Biel at times had
acted quite strangely, and II Is thought
the deed may have been caused by a
Gt of insanity. He had been at work
shortly before destroying his life.
Coroner A. @. Liedloff was notified
and went out this morning TO make
an investigation into the circum-
stances of the death. He decided
to hold no inquest.
These who cut down the body OF
Mr. Biel were Henry Barr, car,
penter. and r. +. Stanke, who was at
work on the place as a painter. q
Mr. Biel had for some time been
afraid that he could not pay for the
farm he had bought. This farm he
had purchased from Mr.. Stanke and
given another i'm part payment. Mr.
Biel had told Mr.. Stanke that he
was afraid he would not be able
TO pay for the farm, but Mr.. Stanke
had told him not to worry about 1t,
saying that there was no hurry about
paying over the money. Mr.. Biel
continued to worry, however, and
often told his wife that he feared
and he could not stand it. Once he
said he feared he was going insane.
The three children of Mr.. Biel range
in age from thirteen TO three, the old
est being a girl and the younger two
a boy and a girl. /

given by violinists In previous con-
| certs in the city, and for the people
who are not trained musicians the
real quality of Miss Wares art was
shown very plainly in the very
superior manner in which she played
the numbers With which people here
are more or less familiar. Miss Wares
appearance is very charming and her
manner gracious. Her accompanist,
Miss Ina Grange, did much to make
the violinist's music so very pleasing.
Mr.. Ganz: THE Elves Dance" by
said that no pianist has played in
Mankato with such wonderful execu-
ton, and brilliant style, and that his
hearers were enrapt by his music.
His numbers included a wide range
OF music, group by Chopin jncluding
"Ballade in c minor" Two Etudes"
"Nocturne in, f. sharp major" and
"Polonaise i'm "A fiat" In the second
group we're four compositions. The
Pensive Spinner" a, composition by
Mr.. CAM. The Elves Dance" by
Korngold, "Mignon Lied" by Liszt
and "Rakoczy March," by List. En-
cores we're given to each OF these
groups, and the applause was spon-
taneOus and enthusiastic. "a
Keener interest was taken In Mr..
CAM before his appearance than in
Miss Ware from the fact that one
of his pupils, Miss Else Jache, is a
Mankato girl and is very successful
teacher OF piano. The concert was a

Both Mr.. CAM and Miss Ware have
great social talent with their musical
talent, and made the occasion a very
pleasant one for the people who met
them. When the dancing commenced
Mr.. CAM was heard to say that he
had been joked so much since being
in America about not knowing the
new dances that he had taken one
lesson IN Minneapolis. but did not
consider himself proficient enough TO
try them as yet.
Miss Else Jache entertained the
artists and few friends at Dutch
