YOUNG MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE

Sitting down in a luxurious leather
arm chair as n might when pre-
pairing for an ordinary rest of a
few minutes. Charles Clark, a fire
mar employed by the Union Pacific
and living with a fellow. fireman in
the basement of the F.. A. Hadsell
home, carefully tied n string to the
trigger of a 30-4O Krag rife,
threaded 1t through the bedpost,
held the muzzle of the gun near his
heart and committed suicide some
time Tuesday evening or yesterday
morning.
This series of actions through
which the "a year old man must
have gone is mutely borne out by
the position of the gun. the body,
and piece of string or cord. Under
sheriff Mills was called to examine
these bits of evidence early yester-
day morning after the body had been
discovered by the room mate, a Mr..
Brown. They will again be exam
ined this evening. when an inquest
will be held by Coroner C. W.
Jeffrey.
Dependency Is thought to have
been the immediate cause Of the
tragic action Mr.. Brown has spoken
of this to their landlord, according
to Warden Hadsell late yesterday.
II is believed that the shot oc-
CURED sometime between the dinner
hour and midnight. as the members
of the Hadsell family were absent
from home during that time. No
one heard the report, probably muf-
fled so that anyone passing would
have thought it a tire blowout at
some distance.
The body lies in the Rass-
musson undertaking parlors. Ne
funeral arrangements have been
made to date. Mr.. Clark Is survived
by his father and mother. Mr.. And
Mrs, A. F. Clark of this city, And
by a brother and sister at Parco aad

Republican Moving
Into New Quarters

The Rawlins Republican the first
Of the present week started moving
from its present location to it's new
quarters in the west portion of the
First National Bank building at

ask the indulgence of our subscribers
during that time.
This week we wish to extend
thanks to The Wyoming Reporter
for the use Of their newspaper press
in printing The Republican as our
press in being moved and without
the assistance of The Reporter our

couple days.
The business office of The Repub-
lican will remain at it preent loca-

moved.

Proves Interesting

Answering a fire alarm which
sounded just at noo Monday. the
Rawlins fire department found the
blaze to be at 609 South Front ST.
at what is, known as the Colored
Mans club. This was a ten room
frame building, and the flames had
deprived it of any value before the
department arrived.
Efforts were largely directed to
keeping two adjacent frame houses
from catching fire. Many humorous
situations arose in getting the be-
longings of inmates out. and the pro
fuse thanks of a colored lady oc-
cupying one of the houses saved were
the talk of the fremen all the rest
