Suicido at Wallace,
Tuesday afternoon Dr. McCabe
received a telegram from "Wallace
reading "Man dead, come at ouce."
Supposing1 tliat the telegram was
Intended lor the county coroner,
it was handed over to Cor
oner Uaker and the latter, in
Company with County Attorney
Ridtflev, left for Wallace at four
o'clock Wednesday mornlucf. Ar
riving there they found that Martin
I. Meyers, aged thirty-five, and
who had lived at Wallace for a
number of years, had been kiUcd by
the discharge of a shotgun and
that his death had been by his
own nanus.
The body lay in a small hallway
at the foot of the stairs leading to
the second story, and the head was
literally blown off, there being no
semblance of a head left. The sur
roundings showed that Mycr had
carefully planned his destruction.
He had loaded the eun a muzzle
oader and left the powder and I
caps near by. fiacinjj a oroom
landle through the guard at the
breech so that it would touch the ,
trigger when moved, he fastened
one end to the stair railing, placed
the muzzle of the gun to his left,'
ear, and wilu anotucr buck in ins
right hand moved the brootiibtick '
in the guard so that it Btruck the '
trigger and his soul was hurled to
eternity. When the charge ex-
plodcd it broke the glass in the hall
door, and passers-by Tuesday motn
ng noticing the broken glass, j
ooked in the window and discov-
rcd the dead body. It was then
the coroner waB wired. 1
Myers was a quiet man of gentle
disposition, a hard worker and a i
good inannger. By his thrift he J
had acquired two houses in Wallace
and owned a ranch three miles from
Wallace on which he had 3,000 head
of sheep. He was married and had j
a wife-and two.children, who went;
to Portland, Oregon, on a viblt
about the first of June. From the
evidence given at the inquest Cor
oner Baker uavinir empaneled a
jury it seems that Mrs. Myers re
fused to live on the ranch with him,
libistiug that they reside in Wal
lace. This seemed to worry him.
He looked upon his wife's action as
neglectful of him and his best in
terests, and their differences on
this particular subject caused more
or less dissension. Japers were
found showing that he had sent a
draft to his wife at Portland, and
it is surmised that this drain upon
his financial resources had some
thing to do with him taking his
life. The jury returned a verdict
of suicide.
Coroner Baker and Attorney
Ridgley returned home yesterday
afternoon.
