Rapides Blacksmith Dying from Char

New Orleans. July "a
blacksmith, Dominick Coulter,
of Rapides parish, is dying in the
Charity hospital here of Charlton,
a cattle disease, contracted while
he was shoeing a horse.
There is no chances to save
Coulter from death. Charlton is
a fatal disease with no known
cure. Medical knowledge ex-
tends only to Charlton vaccine,
which will prevent infection.
Coulter's case is the second that
physicians at Charity hospital
have had under their care. An
other man died at the hospital Of
Charlton years ago.
Charlton broke out among the
cattle Of the lower Coast a few
months ago. 1t is an ancient
disease. prevalent among cows.
horses and sheep. 1t has been
made the subject Of exhaustive
medical study. but the vaccine
was the only result.
Humans seldom become infect
ed with the Charlton germ, but
when they do, physicians are of
no avail. Coulter has been UNI
conscious since Monday night.

Former Mayor of
Alexandria Suicides
w. B. Turner, Short in Accounts,
Ends Life at Houston by
Shooting Self.

William B. Turner, citizen and
former mayor, of Alexandria,
La, suicided this morning at 9
O'Clock at his room in the Cotton
Hotel, by shooting himself
through the left breast, using a
thirty-eight calibre pistol. One
shot was fired. The deceased
left a sealed note addressed to
Mrs. W. B. Turner, which note
was Immediately mailed to her
at Alexandria, La.
Regarding the suicide of Mr..
Turner, the Town Talk, of July
"a says:
The terrible and sad news of
the death of Mr.. Turner was re-
ceived as a severe shock by the
family and friends of this esti-
mable man. He left this city
yesterday morning over the
Southern Pacific road for a trip
to San Fracisco as a delegate to
the National building & Loan As
ISOLATION meeting. He was ap-
parently in the best of health and
spirits when he left. Postcards
with cheerful messages written
on them were received by Mrs.
Turner, and his two sons and his
friends in this city this morning.
1t was at the noon hour that
Mrs. Turner received the shock
ing news from some party in
Houston, who called her over the
phone and told her her husband
was dead in that city. The shock
was so great that she dropped
the phone and did not learn any
more about the affair. A physi-
clan was summoned to attend
Mrs. Turner.
Upon the death of Mr.. w. B.
Turner, Secretary of the Rapides
Building & Loan Association of
this city, the Bank Examining
Department of Louisiana sent
two of its representatives i'm
mediately to Alexandria, being
Mr.. l. V. Shannon and Mr.. w.
L. Ward. They Immediately en-
tered upon an examination of
the books. papers, records, and
documents of the association.
Mr., Turner was found to be
short in his accounts with the
association in the amount of ap-
proximately $28,7OO.OO. Mr..
Turner is bonded to the associ-
alton in the sum of $4,000. The
association has a loss fund of
SIS, 600, and an undivided profit
account of $423.34. This will re-
duce the loss to approximately
$17.00. The total assets of the
association are in round numbers
$208, 600. The indebtedness of
the association is in round num-
bers SIP, 600, due the First Ma
tional Bank of Alexandria. and
$58, 600 due on demand notes.
The loss resulting from this
shortage will involve loss not
exceeding one and one-half years
dividend, ard possibly not over
one year. The association can
therefore very easily take care
of the loss.
The plan adopted by Mr.. Tur-
ner was very simple, and, at the
same time difficult of detection,
as evidenced by the fact that it
escaped the scrutiny of the aud
iting committee of the association
and of the bank examiners who
have heretofore examined the
books of the association. The
plan adopted by Mr.. Turner was
apparently from time to time to

ments of these various accounts
and when the auditing commit.
tee came he showed the pass
books corresponding to the ac-
count appropriated by him.
The bank examiners found,
not only the statement made
since July LIST in Mr.. Turner's
own handwriting, Of these appro-
priated accounts, but likewise
found loose leaves representing
them set aside among the asso-
cations effects, and this leads
them to believe that these papers
represent the total loss.
The letter written by Mr.. Tur-
ner to his wife, and which was
found by his dead body in Hous-
ton, was received here Sunday
by mail. On account of illness,
Mrs. Turner has not opened the
letter.
The Beaumont Enterprise has
the following account of the death
of Mr.. Turner:
Houston, Texas, July PA
have paid for my life with my
life," wrote W. B. Turner, well
known insurance and real estate
dealer. of Alexandria, La, this
morning. After which he look
ed out upon the hurrying crowds
passing beneath his window at
the Cotton hotel and shot him
self through the heart.
Beneath Turner's room could
be seen a birds eye view of the
city, and Main streets crowds
formed the last sight that met
his eyes. His suicide had not
been premediated long. At least
there was no evidence to sup
port such a theory.
He bought a round trip ticket
to the San Francisco exposition
yesterday at Alexandria. He
reached Houston this morning at
an early hour and registered i'm
mediately at the Cotton hotel.
About 1890 o'clock Mrs. j. F.
Rogers, who has a room across
the hall from the one Turner oc-
cupied, heard a shot and a moan.
She telephoned to the room clerk
and Manager R. H. Moffat rush.
ed to the room. He found Tur-
ner. fully dressed, save for his
coat, stretched across the bed.
A dull red stain, blackened by
on the left breast told
the story. 4
In the room where Turner end
ed his life there was a Bible. It
lay open on the dresser. No
particular passage was marked,
but it was opened at the Proverbs
of Solomon, where the Wise Man
said:
There is way that seemeth
right to man, but the end there
of are the ways of death.
Turner showed every evidence
of having wealth. His travelling
bags were well stocked with
clothing of fine texture. His
toilet articles were expensive.
In his pockets Judge j. E. Wal
ton found $13O.12. He was an
Elk.
A letter, addressed to Mrs. w.
B. Turner at Alexandria, was
found on the table beside Tur-
ner's death bed. 1t, perhaps
will tell the story which now
can't be learned, but no one
wanted to open the letter which
must break a woman's heart.
And. unless Mrs. Turner tells
what the letter says, the world
perhaps will never known why
