Paul Kurtz, Richland Center bak-
er, endeavored to commit suicide in
two different ways, but was frustrat-
ed each time. Kurtz bought a revol-
yer and then bid each of his friends
goodby. On his way to the place he
had selected as the scene of his going,
he stopped to write a farewell letter.
The city marshal came up and placed
Kurtz in jail. He next attempted to
hang himself in Jail but was cut down
and brought back to life. Kurtz was
committed to Mendoza. Excessive
drinking is given as the cause for his
strange acts.
