That Gustavus Gurtiz, SO years old,
a bachelor who had been making his
home with his niece, Mrs. George
Plum and family at Jackson, commit
ted suicide by throwing himself into
the Des Moines river is the belief of
his relatives. Owing to the high con-

though search has been made under
the direction of Sheriff Magnussen.
While the members of the Plum fam
lily were away from their home for a
short time Mr.. Guritz disappeared.
Foot prints leading from the house
led searchers to the river not far away
and it is believed that in a spell. of
dependency he decided to take his
own life. The man was well to do
financiaily.-Mankato Free Press.
