SECOND SUICIDE
 OCCURS IN TWO DAYS
(From Fridays Daily.)

Another suicide of an unfortunate occurred yesterday afternoon at about 4:30 o'clock, the second victim of his own hands in two days, being c. P. Overall, whose dead body was found by Fred lessen, the driver of de livery team for J. l. Gardner
 The place selected by this man to destroy himself was at the forks of the road near the Granite creek bridge to the south of the city, and alongside of large pine tree. The man chose the gun route and from the nature of the wound inflicted, death must have been instantaneous, the bullet entering the right side of the head two inches above the ear, and coming out on the opposite side about two and one-half inches above the left ear. When found Overall still held tight grasp on the 38- calibre special pistol, with both hands holding the weapon on his lap. His head was slightly inclined sideways, and his position indicated that not the slightest struggle followed after the shot was fired. In the cylinder were three cartridges and one was exploded.
 Premeditated Deed.
 Overall arrived from Bakersfield, Cal, on Wednesday, registering at Brinkmcyer's hotel. In a brief con versation with new acquaintances he complained of kidney afhictions, oth erwise his demeanor was unlike that of person who contemplated suicide. Thursday forenoon he changed his hotel and registered at the Sherman house, where he attracted no atten- ton although he conversed with sev- era1 there. At about 1 o'clock he went to the Hill Hardware Co. store and asked for a secondhand gun, and was informed these weapons were not carried in stock Finally he se- lectcd the one with which he killed himself, paying $17 for it, and making this significant remark: "The gun is all right, but I don't want to strap myself, as my funds are getting low" He then left the building going down the street toward his hotel. It is presumed he continued walking slow ly and reaching the point desired, ended his life.
 Judge McLane summoned a cor oner's jury, and verdict in accord ancc with the above facts was return ed. Among Overall's effects was a purse containing in cash $2l.51. A bank book issued by the First Ma tional Bank of Bakersfield, showed a credit on May 24 of over $500, with the handwriting of the owner below his statement that the balance due him was $13O03 This deficiency is explained by the finding of registry receipt on his person issued that day at Bakersfield, and addressed to a woman in Kentucky. Overall was neatly but not expensively dressed in | dark suit of clothes, and was man aged about $ years. He was a stranger and what motive prompted him to take his owh life is not known.

America Is Nation of Peace, But Sc.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-At least 10000 residents OF
| Denver gathered at City park and
voiced sentiment for peace with all
nations and all peoples. With hands
held high in the air, as the band rang
| out the notes of America" these
thousands of men, women and children
gave expression of their confidence in
President Wilson for his course in re-
lation to the controversy with Ger.
many. Endorsement of the Wilson
policy by speakers repeatedly was
| cheered.
1t was a cosmopolitan gathering.
Germans, natives or descendants of
those born in the father1and; English,
men of Irish birth or parentage;
French, Austrian, Russian, Poles, Jew
and Gentle, Protestant and Catholic
were as one. There was no feeling
| but that of patriotism and the electric
| spark that is in all men and finds
most forceful expression when danger
| to country nears found vent in the
declaration that all were Americans
and stood four square to any wind that
American institutions, American honor
and dignity could not be trampled on
by any nation in the world.
1t was the anniversary of the battle
of Bunker Hill. Men known over the
world as speakers were on the pro-
gram. Expressions of hostility were
taboo but in the fervent eloquence and
logic of the speakers were many ex-
pressions that would have warmed the
hearts of the patriots of '76.
The Rev. Harris Franklin Bell pre-
sided. He introduced Governor Carl
son.
"a disunited family, disunited city,
state or nation can never be effectual," >"
said the governor. Three weeks ago
the war cloud hung heavy over the
United States but there was one raw
of hope. And then men of all nation
alities in the United States, as Ameri-
cans, rallied back of the President. If
man is not loyal here, to his state
he is not loyal to the Stars and
Stripes.
I'VE say we are against war We
are against war but if it does come /
am sorry to say we are wholly unpre-
pared. Be loyal to your own state, to
the officials of Colorado and loyal to
Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States"

looked All declared for peace with
the world with the maintaining OF
