Scfmolinski had prepared to retire

with the exception of his under

chair, having fallen against the
back of the chair.
Schmolinski had said to his wife
that he was going to start to work
again the following day and gave
no intimation whatever of commit
ting such rash deed. Friends OF
the family assert that the family
relations were apparently as usual
and that to their knowledge he had
had no quarrel with his wife or
other relatives which would prompt
him to take his own life. Although
of an advanced age he was III good
health and seemed happy and con-
tented. He was in the habit, it is
said, of handling firearms and fire.

and played with them. The rifle

was always kept loaded.

OLD RESIDENT A SUICIDE?
Chas. Schmolinski Found Dead in His
Home Monday Evening with
Bullet Hole in Breast.

.Chas. Schmolinski. an old resi-
dent of Hurley, was found dead in
his home on Iron street Monday
evening with a bullet hole from a
38-caliber rifle in his breast. The
discovery was made by Mrs. Sch
molinski when she returned from
" sit at the home of her daughter.
The circumstances surrounding the
finding of the body point to suicide,
vet relatives of the dead man assert
that there was apparently no mo-
tive for the rash act and intimate
that there is possibility that
Schmolinski was handling the rifle
and it was accidentally discharged
Mr.. Schmolinski had been en-
ployed at Scott & Howe's mill for
a number of wears. About ten days
before his death his foot was in
jured through having plank fall
on it and since that time he had
been staying home. He was alone
in the house most all day Monday,
his wife having gone to the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Edward Pro-
SEX. About 2 o'clock in the after
noon he went to the home of his
daughter and remained there for a
time, later going to his home. Mrs.
Schmolinski returned home about
1Oo'clock in the evening and after
spending few moments in the kit
chen went into the parlor and there
discovered the dead body of her
husband. The room was in dark
ness when she went i'll and she first
discovered his presence there with
her hands. She felt of his face and
found that it was cold. She then
went into the kitchen and lighting
a lamp returned to the parlor and
her eyes met with the gruesome
sight. She ran to neighbor and
the ro,ice officials were notified and
a physician called, who went to the
house and after viewing the body
it was removed to an undertaking
room.
When the officials entered the
room they found the man in a rock
ing chair and between his legs with
the muzzle pointing towards him
was 3S caliber Marlin rifle. There
were two loaded cartridges in the
maea zine of the rifle and an empty
cartridge in the chamber. The bu-
let which caused Schmolinski's S
death entered at the middle of the
breast and ranged Upwards and evil

LINEMAN ELECTROCUTED.
Telephone Company Employee Gets
Electric Shock and Killed While at
Work Monday Afternoon.

A distressing accident occurred
Monday afternoon when Harland
Wudtke, of Ironwood, employed
as lineman by the telephone corr
pany. met instant death through
an electric shock. The &C, i!ent
happened'on Fifth avenue i'll front
of St. Mary's school. Physicians
worked on the man fof more than
two hours with pulmotors but were
unable to revive him.
Wudtke was engaged at string
ing a wire for the telephone COM
pany and was working alone when
the accident happened. He had
gotten the wire to the pole on the
corner of Fifth avenue and copper
street and was working to attach it
to the next pole up the hill in front
of St. Mary's school,, He climbed
up the latter pole and attaching his
belt to the cable started towards
the lower pole. Four of the cleo
trio company's wires run through
the alley on the north side of the
school and cross underneath the
telephone cable and it was these
wires which gave Wudtke the shock
which caused his death. 1t is pre-
sumed that the wire which he was
handling came in contact with these
live wires, which cross underneath
the telephone wires about fifteen
feet from the pole in front of the
school. His predicament was first
noticed by Mrs. VIM. Thorington,
who, with her husband, was sitting
on the Burton Hotel veranda. Mrs.
Thorington heard the man give
yell and upon looking across the
street saw him hanging on the
cable. Mr.. Thorington called the
telephone company's central Office
and the electric company was noti-
fled to shut off the current. With
the assistance of rope the man
was lowered to the ground and a
physician called, DR.. Urquhart
reaching him soon after. The Iron
wood fire department was notified
to bring the pulmotor, which they
did in a hurry. DR.. Ringo, of
Montreal, arrived on the scene in
a short time with his pulmotor and
for more than two hours they at
tempted to bring back life but were
unsuccessful. 1t is thought that
Wudtke had weak heart. as the
current in the wires which caused
his death is not greater than 22O
volts. There was little spark of
life after he was brought down but
soon even this faded away and he
breathed his last.
The accident is particularly sad
in that the young man had been
married but two weeks, his bride
being young lady from Marquette,
employed as chief operator in the
telephone Office. The young man S
father died about a month ago and
on the day of the accident his
mother was in a hospital at Ash
land. He was about "a years of
age and leaves a young sister be-
sides his mother and wife.
