 Takes OlDn Life in
 Fairbanks, Saturday
LEADS MRS. EVE. LIN cOURTNAY TO COMMIT
 SUICIDE

Regarding the recent suicide in Fairbanks, last Saturday of Mrs. Jack Courtnay, former wife of the railroad man who has been making Seward his headquarters for some months, the Fairbanks News-Miner said in part:
 Disillusioned. heart-sick and weary of life's struggles, Mrs. Evelyn Court nay decided that life was not worth living and brought matters to an end with a 32 calibre automatic in her cabin on third avenue Saturday. A coroner's jury rendered a verdict that death was self inflicted with suicidal intent"
 The body was discovered by her chum and companion, Miss Betty Nc Cafferty, who immediately summoned the officers.
 Mrs. Courtnay left the following let ter which was found by Miss McCaf- ferty:
 T have given life fair trial and want no more of it. To. think that one has lived for twenty-eight years and has made no better showing than have. I am sure the world is better off to be rid of such failures. It seems to me that if people can't make a suc- cess of life before that age it is too late to start again.
 T have lost that which is all that a woman has, and that is the respect of people, and whenever that is gone, how can one ever redeem ones self. Many people err in life and am sor- ry that this will reflect on one of my very best friends. The person who loaned me this gun, and I wish 1t un- derstood that I lied to obtain posses sion of it. This person has been my friend in time of stress more than once and 1t was only because of their great faith in me that I was able to obtain this gun. My one regret in passing is that I must violate this trust and in all justice I ask that this person be absolved from all blame If people were more tolerant of others short comings there would be more happiness in this world
