HE BUKIED HIMSELF.
THE UNIQUE SUICIDE OF A MEXICAN
INDIAN IN CALIFORNIA.
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

George A. 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.
