Leaving a letter in which he declar-
ed that he could no longer stand to
live a living DEATH" Peter Mutter,
aged IA years, long prominent farm
er of the town of Paris in Kenosha
county, committed suicide by shooting
himself in his room at the Lakeside
hotel at Racine, probably on Wednes-
day night. The body, lying on the
floor of the room, was found Friday
evening just after six o'clock, the sui
eide having taken precautions which
would prevent an earlier finding of
the body.
On a table in the room was found
the letter explaining that i'll health
had forced the retired farmer to take
the rash step and directing what dis
position would be made of his proper
ty.
Told Maid Not to~Waken Him.
The last time that Mutter had been
seen alive was on Wednesday after
noon when upon returning to his room
at the hotel he had been seen by a
maid there and had talked with sew
eral people there. He had left a
standing order with the hotel employ
ees that no attempt should be made
to force an entrance into his room if
the light was seen to be burning, ex-
planning that he was often i'll and
might have fallen asleep and did not
care to be disturbed. 1t was because
Of this order that no effort had been
made to find the man for two days.
On Friday afternoon Edward Brown,
the proprietor of the hotel, upon be-
ing told that Mutter had not been
seen recently, went into the room and
discovered the mans body on the
floor.
A revolver was lying at his side He
had shot himself through the right
temple, having held the gun so close
to his head that the sound of the shot
had probably been so muffled that it
was not heard in other parts of the
hotel.
Had Been in Ill Health.
For the greater part of his life
Peter Mutter had been very success
full and prominent farmer in Paris,
where he was widely known. Failing
health forced him a number of years
ago to sell his farm there and since
that time he has made his home in
Racine. More recently he had been
visiting several of his relatives and
had only recently returned from a
visit,
On shelf in his room were found
more than a score of bottles Of medi-
cine, showing the efforts that the man
had made to recover from his illness.
He had at times spoken despondently
to acquaintance at the hotel but at
no time had indicated that he con-
templated suicide.
"CannOt Stand Living Death"
81 cannot stand living death any
longer" he wrote in his death mes
sage dated Wednesday night and found
on the table in his room. 81 can
neither sleep or eat and l can stand
this no longer" He asked his rela-
tives to overlook the crime and to con-
slider his condition.
In the letter he had also left de-
tailed instructions regarding his fune-
raj services, directing that he should
be buried at Union Grove and naming
the undertaken who should be in
