SUICIDE by HANGING.
John \. Woclfel, Dcspondent Over
lll-Hcalth, Shufflcs orr Mortal
Coil by the Rope Route.

John n. Woelfel, who has been a
resident of La Junta for about ten
last Wednesday morning. his body
being found about s o'clock that
morning hanging to crossbeam OF
the Hartman warehouse on South
Belleview avenue. The body was
found by Charles Woelfel, a brother
OF the deceased, and Mrs. Shultz.
mother of Mrs. Woelfel. who had be-
come alarmed at Woelfel's prolonged
absence after leaving the house at 8
O'Clock, and Immediately instituted
a search for him. finally locating his
dead body in the warehouse, after .
two hours search. DR.. Hail. who had
been attending WOelfel for some
time. was Immediately summoned as
the body was still warm. but pro-
nounced the man dead. Coroner
King was then notified and took
charge of the remains, but decided
that an inquest was not necessary. IS
IT was very evidently just plain
case of suicide. and the body was
taken to Kings undertaking parlors
and prepared for burial.
Woelfei had been in iil-heaith for
some time. and his family and ac-
quaintances noticed particularly Of
late that his actions were rather
strange and unusual. in fact. they
were so much so that DR.. Hall eau
toned his relatives to keep a close
watch OF him. Woelfel got up about
5 o'clock Wednesday morning and
left the house for a walk as had been
his custom. When he failed to re-
turn at the usual hour the family be-
came alarmed. and started a search
OF the neighborhood for him. After
visiting several points, including
Woodruff lake. they returned to
Woelfei's house at 1918 South Belle
view avenue. Here they found that
the key to the Hartman warehouse.
which was IN woelfei's charge. was
not In its accustomed place. and I'm.
mediately proceeded to the warehouse
where they found Woelfel hanging by
the neck to one of the crossbeams,
dead. his feet not being more
than six inches from the floor. Wool

ANOTHER FEARFUL EVENT.
La Junta Wins Three Straight From
Rocky Ford, and the Mighty
McGraw Drops Two OF Them.

The good left fin of Hooks Maher.
southpaw extraordinary from Ire
land. beat the Rocky Fordites again
last Sunday this being the second
game for the son OF the old sod with
in period of eight days. The score
was 4 to 3. and incidentally this
third defeat In row by the mighty
sons OF La Junta showed the melon
rollers back to third place, as Fort
Lyon put one over on Las Animas by
a score of 10 to 3. or something like
that, and busted up the tie that had
been in existence previous to the
tragedy OF Sunday.
The biggest crowd that ever at
tended a ball game in La Junta was
present on this auspicious occasion.
Every seat in the grandstand, the
reserved seat section and the bleach
srs was occupied. with Just as many
automobiles parked along the east
and south side of the grounds as the
space allotted for them would hold.
and many spectators being lined up
against the left field fence. Some of
the more enthusiastic fans of this sec
tion insisted upon giving first aid to
the fielders when the sphereoid roll
ed among them. but this did not
happen very often. and no damage
or advantage resulted to either side
on that account. In fact. II was a
very ladylike game throughout, be-
ing entirely destitute OF wranglinE.
and the gentiemanly players accord
ed each other the utmost baseball
courtesy.
A special train came down from
Rocky Ford and dumped something
less than a hundred fans. along with
the ball team. just outside of the
ball park. They had section re-
served for them In the east grand
stand. so their rooters would be able
to combine in making the big noise"
whenever the opportunity presented
itself. but such occasions were like
angels visits-few and far between.
and as the tragedy progressed the
Rocky Ford bunch looked more like
an audience at a first-class funeral
than anything else.
Rocky Ford scored the first run.
Harwood knocking the sphereoid
over the left field fence for home
run, whereat an abundance of great
Joy emnated from the Rocky Ford
bunch They then subsided. as La
Junta scored two in the next inning.

Steve Mattick. II was a good day for
home runs. two homers being credit

The wind-up and finish came when
Chellgord made a sensational catch
OF a little fly-twister over the third
baseman's head. Rocky Ford had
two men on and II looked as though
II was going to be good for a hit.
but the fleet footed Chellgord nail

placed a auietus upon the suspended
agony. and likewise put the game on
Ice by the narrow margin OF to 3.
II was one OF the greatest fielding
stunts ever pulled off on tn" home
