held them and prevented a touch down

of the players having returned home
with shattered hearts as well as shat
tered hopes.

Campbell Suicides in Denacr.
Harold C. Campbell, who three years
ago married Miss Jennie Sayres, u for
mer North Plntto rosident, committed
BUicide in Denver Friday. The Den
vtr Post given tho following account of
the deed:
Arrested on n charge of embezzle
ment preferred by his employers,
Harold C. Campbell, aged 24 years, city
salesman for tho Austin Candy com
pany, usked permission to comb his
hair before going to jail. Deputy Con
stable Julius Richtcr, of Justice Morris'
court accompanied him to tho toilet
room at the candy factory and n
moment after ho had closed tho door n
shot rang out. When the door was
forced open Campbell was lying dend
In a corner of tho room, with a bullet
hole in his right tcmplo.
It is believed Campbell anticipated
his arrest and had planned to commit
atilcido unless he saw somo loophole for
escape. Tho revolver with which he
shot himself is one he had owned for n
number of years, but, according to his
young widow, ho nover carried tho
weapon nnd sho was unaware he had
taken it from the house until informed
of his1 death.
Campbell telephoned his wife in her
apnrtmont at tho Marcolla, 1627 Wash
Ington Btrcet, less than ten minutes be-
foro shooting himself. The officer was
then waiting to take him to jail. He
said nothing to her of his trouble nnd
when sho was told of his suicide she
collapsed.
unmpneii was marrlcu tnreo years
ago and was tho father of a nineteen
montn-oia son, Harold, Jr. llo enmo
to Denver from Grand Island, Neb., the
home of hlu parents and ontorcd the
employ of tho Austin Candy company a
year ago as a snipping clerk. .
Bccauso of efficient service ho was
advanced to tho position of city sales
man. Ho made good and was trusted
Three weeks ago, however, tho officials
,of tho company discovered that ho was
short in his accounts, Thoy spoko to
him and ho confessed a Bliortngo
amounting to nearly $200, declaring no
had spent tno money "trying to bo
irood fellow."
Tho company agreed to give him an
other chance and ho promised to pay
back tho money ho had apropriated.
Thursday S. J. Sweet, ono of the
directors of tho concern, discovered
another shortage. It was only a small
one, but Sweet decided that Camobell
was not slncero in his announced inten
tion of repaying tho company, so ho
swore to a warrant for tho salesman's
arrest. Deputy Constable Richterread
tho warrant to Campbell anil, unsplclous
pf tho young man's intentions, acceded
to tho request which gavo him tho
oportunity to enrry it out.
Campbell locked the door of tho
room from Uio uibIuo and Police Sor
geant Batlo, who was called In, was
iorceu 10 ureaK it open witn nn ax.
Tho body was removed to tho morgue.
