BLOWS HEAD OFF
WITH SHOT GUN
WILLIAM FETTE. OF SOUTH SIDE,
TAKES OWN LIFE EARLY
YESTERDAY.
lifiess 5dy Was Found on River Bank
Near Thirty-sisth street-Motive
Fer Act 10 Unknown.

William Fette. a well known young
man OF the south side. committed SUI
eide at an early hour yesterday morn
ing when he secured a 1:-gauge shot
I u and went TO the river bank. near
T~hoirtysixth street. where he blew Off
the top Of his head. The body was
found several hours later by a woman
Who was gathering coal along the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks.
She gave the alarm and the police
were Immediately notified. Upon IN
: vestigation IL was found hat the act
had bee committed about $3.50 O'Clock
a the residents in the vicinity or
T~hirty-sixth street are said to have
heard a short about that time.
Fette was about % years old and
was a pipe maker by trade. For he
past several months he has been EN-
ployed In the mills in and around
Steubenyille and had come home 10
spend the Christmas vacation with his
mother. No reason for the rash act
has as yet been found. but II is sur
missed that he was Tilted b va girl
friend. This il the only explanation
that could be offered for his taking
his life. He was Of good habits and
heretofore here had been no hint at
self destruction.
Near the lifeless body was found a
shotgun In which was an empty shell
and in the overcoat was found another
loaded one. The barge Of shot had
entered the head IN the right side and
just above the ear. Il had torn away
the chad down almost to the chin and
the brains and pieces of skull were
found within a radius OF fifty feet. II
was a plain case OF suicide and Cor
oner Gala Mitchell will probably rem
der his verdict today.
The deceased is survived by his
mother and the following brothers and
sisters: Katherine. August, OF Nc
Mechen: Charles. II S~teubenvilIe. and
Harry. George and Frank OF this city.
