Disheartened by an Accident Which Un fitted Him For Active Life, Jose Mendea Resolved to End Hi. Existence Without Causing His Friends Trouble. Jose Mendez waa a Mexican Indian who killed himself in 1862 in San Jose, CaL At the time of his death Jose was years of age. He bad all hia life been an exceedingly active man. Among the daring characters then residing in San Jose none oonld excel bim as rider of wild horses. Be was also very ingenions and oonld not only make the finest kinds of lariats, bnt conld also use them in many original ways. One day the daring rider came to grief. By some means be was thrown from a wild mustang, and, being stun ned and made helpless by the fall, be was dragged for some distance in tbe stirrups. When finally rescued, he was in a condition that would have been sure and almost instant death to any but a man of wonderful nerve and te nacity of life. Injured and helpless, be recovered suf ficiently to realize that be conld never engage in active pursuits again, and be became very moody and despondent. A life in which he was precluded from daring riding on untrained mustangs bad no charms for bim, and in tbe midst of bis sufferings from internal in juries he made frequent threats of sui cide. Once, in speaking of the matter to an intimate friend, who trjed to dis suade him from the idea, he said that when he killed himself it would be done in snch a manner that no one would ever have any more trouble about bim. It was thought at tbe time that be intended to drown himself in the sea, where his body would never be recover ed. Every morning for several weeks thereafter Jose crawled away from the adobe but in which he and a number of others lived and came back quite late every evening. On these trips he took a pick and shovel and occasionally a piece of lumber, no one knew for what purpose. Some supposed that be was mining somewhere. By this time he had grown so despondent as to be en tirely uncommunicative, and no expla nation of his conduct could be obtained from him. One evening, as was expect ed, the invalid did not return to the j adobe, and the next day a search was made in the direction in which be went oometniDg line a mile from the adobe house the searching party found a small l'"us ie grin uuu weeos. xo me eurjiriBe oi every one or ine party a rude board box about 3 feet wide and 6 feet long and about 18 inches in depth was found lying upside down in the middle of the open place. The box was imme diately overturned, bnt nothing but a heap of loose earth was found under it. A closer examination revealed tbe fact that attached to the box were a number of pieces of lariat. The explanation of all this was a mystery, and at first it was not connected with the disappear ance of the Mexican. An intimate friend cf tbe missing man then made an explanation which pronounced entirely plausible and cleared the i mystery. The man said that It la not sold la frnlfc. - O - R - I - A 1. an arary wrappar. Pitcher's Castoria MANHOOD RESTORED "CUPIDENE" This rreat Ve.'.itabl.

Harding Druggist the Mexican, after sustaining bis in jury, had been entirely dependent upon strangers for his support and sustenance, and be was determined, if possible, aft er be was dead not to give tbem any more trouble. He therefore devised a scheme by wbioh be could not only kill but also, at tbe same' time, bury him self. Bow the thing was managed was easily enough determined by an inspec tion of tbe ground. Tbe deceased bad dug a grave, a rather shallow one, in which bis skeleton was found some years later. ... After the grave was dug, which re quired some time, owing to the feeble condition of the deceased, he placed tbe loose earth in a box that bad been made for that purpose. Tbia earth was pack ed in as solid as possible by being wet and then allowed to dry again, so that when the box was carefully stood on its side with the earth toward the ground none of it fell out. Several lariats were then stretched aoross from the upper side of the box as it lay aoross tbe grave to stakes ou the other side The box was then carefully balanced, so that any object that might fall on the lariats would cause it to fall over the grave and empty the earth it con tained on top of the body. In this man ner the unfortunate man not only killed but also buried himself almost in the same instant of time. . So well satisfied were those who made the surprising discovery that their theo ry was correct that they did not take the trouble to dig in order to ascertain that the body was underneath. The theory, however, was further strength ened by tbe finding of the pistol with whicn the shooting bad been done in some loose earth near the edge of the grave. It bad evidently dropped there from tbe suicide's hand after be fired tbe fatal shot. This fact convinced tbe searchers, and they returned without making farther Investigations, so that the desire of the unfortunate that no one should be troubled with burying bim was realized. Some years later tbe skeleton of Jose Mendez was accidentally discovered and the theory of his friends fully corrobo. rated. Photographio Times. Aa X Bay on a Great Name and Fame.
