Durango From Our
Files IS Years Ago
Drowned

On Saturday night, the 1S inst, it
seems that Mr.. Samuel p. Smith was
returning home from town at about
IL o'clock p. M, IN company with
Charlie Fassbinder boy about II
years of age. In crossing the Animas
at the head of First street over which
is known as Fassbinder's bridge, he
struck his foot against the end of "a
ioose plank and was precipitated into
the river and drowned before any as
sistance could be rendered.
In this connection or explanation
We will state large portion of the
bridge was taken away, not long since
by the highwater in the river and
that it is now being rebuilt, and a
temporary footbridge of loose planks
for the accommodation of the public
and the workmen in building the new
bridge, has been improvised.
This bridge is safe enough by day
light but not so of dark night like
Saturday night.
Samuel p. Smith was a worthy man
of about 81 years of age, and SON
in-law of Peter Fassbinder and leaves

Ludwig Suicides
to Escape Arrest

Rather than submit to arrest and
meet the penalty that justice would
require him to pay for the murder of
Abner Lowell and his son Hugh,
Henry Ludwig committed suicide BY
shooting himself through the heart
with the Winchester he used to take
the lives of his victims.
The final chapter of the tragedy
occurred late last evening when the
sheriff and a posse of 10 armed men
surrounded the Ludwig home on Bear
creek. Hoping to avert further
trouble District Attorney Lane ap-
preached the dwelling house and call
ed Mrs. Ludwig out of doors. He re-
quested her to enter the little cabin,
about 30 feet away where Mr.. Ludwig
had taken refuge, and assure him he
the officer and those assisting them
if he would not resist arrest.
During the course of their conver-
sation they heard a loud noise in the
cabin, not unlike the slcmming of a
door After awhile Mrs. Ludwig con-
sented to deliver Mr.. Lanes message
and entered the little six by eight
room only to find her husband Il
corpse, with a self inflicted gunshot
wound through his breast At his
| feet lay the Winchester he had used
| to pay the penalty for his crime. He
| was seated in chair close to Il
| window that afforded him view of
| the entire country that would prob
ably be travelled by those who at
tempted his arrest. On the stove
within easy reach a sxshooter lay,
and further protection was antici-
pated by a shot gun on the stove.
| Evidently the stern faces of the
sheriff and those who had volunteer
ed to assist him, had caused him to
change his plans and become his own
doomsman.
| According to Abner Lowell's ante
mortem statement there had been
trouble with Ludwig over water for
several years. The ditch which caus-
ed the contention was owned by Low
ell, Wommer Brothers and Ludwig.
| The latter insisted upon the use of his
share of the water but had steadfast-
| ly refused to do his share of ditch
cleaning and repair work. This spring
the others interested were determin-
ed he should not have the water #
he did not do the work. Until few
days ago no trouble occurred because
Ludwig was able to irrigate his ranch
with water from Bear creek. Recent
| ly the stream nearly dried up and to
save his crops he had to go to the
company ditch for his source of sup
ply.
Yesterday Frank Lowell was sent to
| place some horses in a pasture about
a quarter of a mile away. When he
reached his destination he found Lud-
wig opening the ditch with his SHOW
el. An argument followed which soon
developed into quarrel. The lad
told the old man that he was not re-
sponsible for the arrangements his
father and the Wommer boys had
made and requested him to take up
the matter with them. Ludwig was
furious and the sound of his angry
words reached the Lowell residence.
Eager to protect his son from vio-

shot gun for protection, fearing with
out some weapon of defense the angry
man might assault him.
When he reached the spot Ludwig
had taken refuge behind heavy
growth of oak brush. He called to
him to come out and they would set
tie the trouble. Ludwig's response
was shot from a Winchester, he
was carrying, which pierced Lowell
through the leg and knocked him
down. Lowell returned the fire with
his shot gun. Immediately Ludwig
fired second shot which
penetrated I.owelIs body just below
the heart and emerged on the right
shoulder
Hugh, who was standing a short
distance away, ran to his father,
begging Ludwig not to molest him. Un
needing the lads appeal for mercy,
Ludwig fired and shot him through
the temple inflicting wound that
caused his death between 8 and 10
minutes later.
Immediately Frank who was u few
feet away rushed to the spot where
his father and brother lay fatally
wounded. In an instant the old man
fired another shot which penetrated
the boys thigh causing an ugly flesh
wound.
AT this moment Mrs. Lowell who
had followed her husband and son ar
rived and remained by the side of the
two while, Frank, forgetful of his
own injury rushed to the barn, hitched
team to slip, hastened to the
scene and placed his father on the

Although the Bayfield, physicians
did everything that could be done,
Mr.. Lowell, ST., passed away about
1 o'clock.
Owing to machine trouble the sher-
iff, deputy district attorney and dep
uty coroner did not reach the Lowell
ranch until in the afternoon. They
were warned that Ludwig's experience
had apparently only increased his
lust for blood, and unless a sufficient
number of men accompanied him to
strike terror to the heart of the man,
other tragedies would undoubtedly
occur. Acting upon the advice Of
those who knew Ludwig best, he ac-
cepted the services of 10 men armed,
who were ready to give every assist
ance necessary in case the man re-
sisted arrest.
Ludwig is survived by his wife, an
estimable woman, and six children,
Mrs. Rosa Wommer, Mrs. Hattie
Wommer, Miss Bertha Ludwig, Miss
Euby Ludwig, Charles Ludwig and
Frank Ludwig. Every surviving mem
Der of the family is held in high re

Mr.. Ludwig was quite an import

his acts in later life.
