REV. IRA |. PRICE MEETS
WITH ACCIDENT AT DEPOT
In Boarding Train Strikes baggage
Truck and Breaks Two Ribs
Condition Improving

Last Friday afternoon as he was
boarding the local train for his home
in Susanville, Rev. Ira E. Price
struck one of the standards of
baggage truck and was thrown fore
IDLY against the side Of the car.
He entered the car and to repeat
ed inquiries from Conductor Geo.
Dobbs on the trip to Hazen. insisted
that he was unhurt but on arriving
at Reno an examination disclosed
the fact that two ribs were broken.
The receipt of a message to John
ston Price from his father Sunday,
stated that he was not feeling we'll,
but that there was nothing serious
to be alarmed about.
The former pastor of the Metho-
dist church here had been in at
tendance on the evangelistic meet
ings and was accompanied to the
train by his daughter, Mrs. Harvey
Morton, and his son Johnston Price
both of whom witnessed the acci-
dent but were unaware that it was
more than slight.
Many complaints have been made
by the railroad officials against the
delay in boarding the train, of in
tending travellers, they frequently
waiting until 1t is under way
before responding to the 'all
aboard" of the conductor.
And In the matter of baggage the
company has protested against the
hardness in delivering it for
checking and this has resulted In
new rule being put In force that all
baggage must be delivered at an
hour to permit Of loading not later
than $3.50 p. M. after which hour no
baggage will be checked for that af-
ternoon train,
These rulings are the result Of the
visit of special officer M. J. Hewitt
who arrived in town last Saturday
and reported his findings to the di-
vision superintendent.
The company desires that the pa
irons of the road aid In the enforce
ment of these rules that are framed
for their protection.

SHOCKING SUICIDE FOUND
EDW. COUDY USES SHOTGUN
lad I'm Cabin Two Days; Deed Care
fully Planned; Had 9147.0O
In Cash

In a cabin that stands in the shad
ow of the Methodist Church and the
hospital, havens of refuge for thu
afflicted of mind and body. some
time between Friday and Sunday
morning, Edward Goudy departed
on the long journey. taking his owr
life in a manner most tragic and de
liberate.
About 10 o'clock last Sunday
morning, Jake Gregg who had beer
in the habit of meeting him almost
daily, not having seen him since Fri.
day. called at the cabin and receiv.
ing no response to his repeated
knocking, opened the door when the
sight before him caused him to
quickly close it.
Fastening up town he reported
his discovery to Constable Smitten
who with others hurried to the scene
and upon entering the room a
ghastly sight awaited them.
Stretched on a bunk near the win
dow lay the remains of the suicide,
the top of his head blown completely
off, shot gun at his side bearing
mute evidence of the means used for
the act. The deed was planned with
unusual care not the smallest detail
being overlooked that would prevent
interference with his purpose.
Placing a box under his head in
order to give him a half reclining
position, and with a shot gun placed
between his legs, by the use of a
board so shaped that when placed
over the gun trigger it could not
slip, deceased had pointed the gun
directly at his head with the result
as stated.
In the room was found letter
which he had placed in his hat ex-
planning that he had on deposit in
the Churchill County bank s131.00
and in his garments $500, which
amount he wrote was sufficient for q
suitable burial.
Coroner Jones summoned jury
Sunday afternoon when verdict
was rendered in accordance with the
facts.
He was between As and so years
of age and little is known Of his an
tecedents, he having arrived here
over a year ago, and soon after his
coming advanced to the Nevada Col
ony loan of $4,000 which sum It
is understood has since been repaid.
More recently he entered into a
partnership arrangement with z. j.
White agreeing to pay $3.50 for a
half interest in the stage line and on
this he paid in cash $4,000 giving
his note for the balance.
This investment proved unsatis-
factory as he was unaccustomed to
driving a truck, and he abandoned
the attempt after a brief trial, the f.
nancial features of the transaction
being that White still holds his note
for $4,000 and the first payment OF
$4,000.
Deceased was a disciple of Ag-
nosticism, a great reader and think
er, and in his room were books on
Ingersoll, a Bible, works on the
Bible and literature on Agnosticism
The funeral will probably be held
today, the remains being now at the
undertaking parlors.
