FRED EUL COMMITS SUICIDE.
Contractor Who Paved HurIey's Main
Street Takes Own Life
by Hanging.

The following account of the
suicide of Fred Eul is taken from
Wednesdays Menasba Record:
"In a fit of dependency border
ing on temporary insanity, due to
heavy financial reverses, Fred Eul
we'll known local contractor, com
mitted suicide by hanging in the
basement at his home on Chute
street at about eleven O'Clock this
morning.
Mr. Eul was about home tending
to his duties as usual this morning
and went to the basement apparent
iy to perform some task. When he
failed to return for some time, Mrs.
I{ul went to the basement and
found her husbands body i'll a closet
The body was in kneeling posi-
ton and a slender rope knotted
about the neck and suspended from
the ceiling told of the method which
had resulted in death. Mr.. Eul
had apparently shifted from a sit
ting position and could have regain
ed his feet without assistance If he
had so desired.
A recent decision of the supreme
court, which resulted i'll a financial
loss of about $40, 900 TO Mr.. Eul, is
believed to have caused his mind tC
become unbalanced. The local con.
tractor two years ago completed a
large pavement Job at the village OF
Hurley. He had entered into a
contract with the town of Vaughn
providing for the payment but the
supreme court ruled, when the pay
ment was contested, that the town
of Vaughn had no right to levy a
tax for this particular job of street
pavement in the village of Hurley
The pavement was satisfactorily
completed and accepted and is be
ing used By the tax payers, yet the
construction of the law made it i'm
possible for the Menasha inan tc
obtain payment for the work which
he had done. Mr.. Eul recently
completed large pavement job al
Hilbert and had been awarded {
contract for considerable work al
Neenah and in this city"
The deceased was 10 years ole
and was born at Fond du Lac. II,
had resided in Menasha al year!
and for many years was prominen
in public life there. He is sur
vived by his wife and daughter
his father, two sisters and ont
brother.
