subsequently the market was upheld by
the likelihood of a better shipping inquiry

Frank Rypka, of Cedar Rapids. At

tempts to End Life.
Cedar Rapids, Aug. 3.--Despondent
because he had traded property which
represented the savings of a life time
for WISCONSIN land which did not come
up to his expectations Frank w.
Rypka, living at 1888 f avenue, placed
the muzzle of u revolver in his mouth
shortly after noon Friday and pulled
the trigger. The bullet passed into his
head, but Rypka was alive when rela-
tives rushed to his room, and he was
hurried to Mercy hospital, in an am
bulance and DR., Murphy is putting forth
every effort to save his life. An X-ray
examination is being made of the
wound, and an operation will be per-
formed if it is decided that there is a
chance of saving his life thereby. 1t
was announced, however, that there is
little probability that he will recover.
Rypka is 60 years old, and has
worked as a carpenter for many years.
Being q man of frugal habits, he ac-N
cumulated considerable property in the
city, and recently traded a consider
able portion of his holdings here for
land in northern Wisconsin and Min
nesota. He made the deal without
looking az the land, and recently made
a trip north to investigate his new
property. The land proved to be, far
from what he expected and he re-
turned home greatly detected because
of what he considered a bad bargain.
Shortly after the neon hour Friday he
entered his bedroom, and the family
heard the shot a few moments later.
1t is believed that another circum-
stance which caused Rypka to con-
template suicide is his failure to sec.
his son when he made a trip to the
Great Lakes training school few days
ago. The SON Frank Rypka. Jr., is in
the yeoman's school at the navy train
ing camp. MIR. Ry.pka, made a trip to
Chicago recently to see him. but for
some reason he failed to find his son.
He brooded over this also, and the fail
ure to see his only son. coupled with
what he considered disastrous real
estate deal, caused him to prefer
death to life.
The remaining members of the FAM
lily are Mrs. Rypka, the son, Frank, ".
and one daughter, Miss Caroline, who
is-a clerk in a local department store.

made several Wills and in one left his
fortune to Ellsworth College, Of this

fall, he was urged to buy liberty bonds
and contribute 10 other patriotic causes,
but apparently took offense to this
solicitation and made another will in
which the property goes to the Council
Bluffs institution.
He tlied rather suddenly in San Diega
and the new will was a surprise to his
relatives as we'll as to others who looked
for him to leave at least a portion Of
his property to the college here. The
outcome of this effort to break the will
