Lying In one of the local under
taking parlors this afternoon Is the
body of Draper M. Dobbins, death to
whom was Inflicted by a Colts 38 cali
ber xevolvor In his own hands at near
11 o'clock today, says the Herald.
He stepped out of the office of the
Baker Iron & Supply house, which Is
located acorss the railroad tracks on
Auburn avenue and had only taken
about three steps when he pulled a
I revolver from his pocket, held It to
I his left breast and fired. The bullet
flM the work, evidently, as the young
j man had anticipated It would do. for
he fell backward on the sidewalk and
with a gasp, died. His head was t "
1 the west and his feet to the east.
There Is no apparent cause for the
i rash set other than his periodically
j morose disposition. He has been
, knovn to have threatened his life In
Ithe past and at times he was very se
cretive1 In his talk and manner, Indi
cating that hfs mind wss wrestling
with some dlrs problem. This, how
ever, has been his nnture so long that
little attention was paid to It. Ac
cording to friends and associates he
was possessed of one of those extreme
dispositions either very Jovial and
good natured. or very morose. In his
folly conditio he was decidedly pop
ular with all who knew him and hi;
friends numbered many. He has been
employed for some time as night
watch at the engineering works. .
The sadness of this tragedy Is In
tensified by the fact that th young
man cornea from an excellent family.
His mother died Inst winter and his
father still lives In Alabama and en
joys the confidence of all who know
him. Elmer E. Dobbins, brother of
the deceased, has been In Baker for
some time and Is a man among men.
In this Hn-- of sadness, caused as It
la "by s-irh an extraordinary occur
rence, this whole community extends
sympathy.

LAW WORKS HARDSHIPS.
Itnllrtwirt Men Held In tTie Mountains
for long Time by Hi-Hour Law.
As predicted several months ago
when Ed Cross first explained the
workings of the 14-hour law In this
city, there sre bound to be serious dis
advantages occasioned. The Pendle

wiere often since the law went Into

up" the train crews at a -mountain
station.
Recently two freight trntns reached
Duncan, or formerlv North Fork sta

thefr l-hour daw both wt "tlpd up'

the crews remained until they could
! resume work under the fed-ral law
which requires 10 hours rest after a
T-houc day.
Several times since the law went In
to effect crews have been forced to la4
at a mountain station until their r-s
period was up before resuming their
run.
While the law works a hardship on
the men In this way by keeping them
away from their homes during their
rest period. It Ik yet heartily support

serious Complaint hv.'e bi "n mide.
The officials mnke every effort to
get a train to the terminal before the
expiration of the M-Motir d:y for the
crew, but often rccldi-nts happen
which make this Imnoxlhle.

The volume of business at the Sher
wood last evening clearly demonstrat
ed that the public Is well pleased wltV.
the program. Of course, the feature
bill Is the Dreyfus Affair, but there
are other number which are equally
as good. As a mntter of fact the
comic Illustrations are so really and
truly good, that they almost become
features themselves. 1 ,
