been hastily summoned, reached the

The young man waa prompted to kill

health and the belief that he could not

some time past, but his mother, father

Some months ago the young man
went to southern California for the
benefit of his health. He remained avifay
for several weeks, and on his return
to the city seemed much improved in
health. His lungs had troubled him.!

several duets and were heartily en

Mr. Rogers' address was, aa usual.

he had previously seemed eo be. It la
evident from a letter left by the young
man that he had given full considera

merely a lingering existence. This note
was written yesterday afternoon on the

brother. He was horrified to find him
dying at the foot of the bed with a
gaping hole In his head.
After going up stairs Burr had
placed the muzzle of a large navy re
volver to hlB head, Just above the right
eye, and sent the ball crashing through
the brain.
When Austin entered the room his
brother was still alive, but unconscious.
He was sitting on the foot of the bed
when the shot was fired and was about
to fall to the floor when the brother
entered. Austin ran over to him and
took him In his arms just as he ex
pired. '
Relatives Are Grief 8tricken.
The suicide of the young man was
quite as much a surprise to his rela
tives as to the people who knew htm
well, and there was grief in the house
hold. Dr. Estes was summoned with
all haste, but Burr was beyond medical
assistance when the physician arrived.
The ball had entered the brain and
the young man experienced not the
slightest pain, though he survived the
wound a few moments.
NewS of the suicide spread rapidly
and there was universal sorrow among
friends of the family. It seemed in
credible that the young man should
have taken his life, and, as his physical
condition . was known ,to but few, the
announcement of the death proved a
