CONTACT MURDERER
COMMITS SUICIDE

Wednesdays Elko Free Press says
Sheriff Harris received a message
from Contact this morning notifying
him OF the supposed suicide of Sylvia
Van Eaton, who shot and killed his
sweetheart, Miss weighall at Contact
a few days ago. A note was found on
the big Salmon river dam and the Id
aho officers are inclined to believe
Van Eaton is lying at the bottom of
the lake and the work of dragging
the narrow inlet has started. The
water at the face Of the dam is 200
feet below the top of the dam at this
time of year. and the water is fully
100 feet deep. and 1t will be an al
most impossible task to drag that
portion of the reservoir.
Van Eaton was trailed by the Off
GERS from Contact to his uncle's home
on Rock Creek, about twenty-five
miles from the Salmon dam, and here
all trace of the man was lost. His
uncle denied having any knowledge
Of his whereabouts and declared he
had not seen him.
The road from Jarbidge to Roger
son crosses the top of this dam, and
yesterday parties noticed a puttee ly-
ing on one side of the dam. An ex-
animation disclosed a note fastened
to the puttee, and close beside 1t lay
the two guns that Van Eaton was
known to have taken. and his hat.
The note was as follows:
Dear Brother:-As life is too mis-
cradle l am going to drown myself.
You will find my sweater under rock
about southeast Weighall's camp to
remember me by. Pay Delaplain $40.
Take my horse. blankets, saddle and
all. Get ladies' watch of mine from
Kent's boy. have suffered much
since l saw you last. Hoping some
day you may hear of how / came to
my death. Dear Finder, tell my
brother about this as a friend.
SILVIA VAN EATON.
"P. s.-May God handle this note
for me-"
1t is possible that Van Eaton crossed
over from the Rock Creek ranch
where his tracks were lost, and un-
less he obtained assistance he would
be out of food by this time, as the
small amount he stole from the Will
son cabin would last him but a few
days. 1t may be that this is but a
scheme to throw the officers off the
track, but Sheriff Harris says that he
would not be surprised If it be true,
as Van Eaton had the reputation of
being fiighty.

F0RDS WEALTH PUT
At S26S,000,OO0

Detroit, Sept. 15.-Payment of its
State property tax to-day by the Ford
Motor Company revealed that Henry
Ford is on the way to become the
richest man in the world. His tax
able property, as stated in his return,
amounts to s263.36S,199, but De-
troit bankers point out that these are
only tangible assets and his real
wealth will probably far exceed that
figure.
Some bankers say that Ford is
worth more than $3.50, 900 900 when
the good will and name of the Ford
Motor Company are taken into con-
sideration. Ford himself has said
that he does not know how much he
is worth and he does not care.
The statement filed in Lansing said
that on June Sd the Ford company
had s54,s44.53S in cash in hand or
in bank. Plants, buildings and i'm
provements were valued at s46,926,-
010, and machinery and equipment
at s21,1S3,s9O, while the good will
of the company was set at $133,025.-
079. Total capital and surplus were
put at $17S,951,172, and the amount
in capital and surplus held in Michi-
gan at $~S7,SS1,2S4.
On these holdings the company
sent the State a check for $4,000,
the maximum payment in Michigan,
for the Ford Motor Company, the
Michigan Iron Land and Lumber Co..
the Dearborn Realty and Construc-
ton Company, the Dearborn indie
pendent, Ford's weekly paper. State
officials hold, however. that Ford will
have to pay $4,000 on the motor
company alone and separate taxes on
his other holdings.
The returns do not take Ford's rail
road holdings into account or any OF
his real estate throughout the coun-
try.
