HAS TURNED HIS LAST CARD
E. Id. Baldwin, Faro Dealer, Found
Dead in His Boom at the Og-den.
ILLUMINATING GAS TURNED ON
So Far as Known, There Was No
Cause for Taking Ills Orrn Life
ad Friends Believe Death
Dae to Accident.
R. M. Baldwin, a faro bank dealer, was
found dead In bed In his room at the
Ogden hotel yesterday afterntfon. The gas
Jet was open and death was duo to as
phyxiation, but whether accidental or In
tentional thero was nothing to show. Ills
friends firmly believe his death was purely
accidental, as they say that there was
no reason, at least as far as they know,
for him committing suicide.
Baldwin, who was best known among the
sporting fraternity as "Pete," returned to
Council Bluffs about a week ago from
the west and expected to go to work In
one of the houses in a' few days: He was
a man of very steady habits, never drank
and generally was well provided with
money.
Early yesterday mornlng he returned to
the hotel with two companions who also
room there, and at once went to his room.
He was In the best of spirits and there
was nothing, his friends say, to give the
slightest Indication that he Intended to
take his life.
It was not until 2 o'clock in the after
noon that, one of tho chambermaids no
ticing the smell of gas coming from the
room, an entrance was forced and
Baldwin was found dead In bed. The body
was still warm when found. Coroner Trey
nor was summoned and after viewing the
body ordered It removed to Cutler's under
taking parlors.
Baldwin, as far as Is known, was a
single man. - He is believed to have a
sister living In Denver. Among his papers
was found a note dated September 90,
1906. and written on a letterhead of the
Ornnd hotel of this city, saying: "Should
anything happen to me notify Mrs. E. B.
Breon, Hotel Carlton, Denver, Colo.,' and
signed "R. M. Baldwin." This was writ
ten In Ink and the noto was enclosed In an
envelope on which was written in pencil,
"Directed to whoever finds this." Baldwin
was In Council Bluffs the greater part of
1906. He was about 45 years ot age.

An experienced shopper tells us that she can do
twice as much shopping in the forenoon as in the after
noon, with one-half the fatigue.
She says there are no crowds then; that she has no
difficulty in obtaining a seat in the street cars; that she is
waited upon more promptly at all the stores and that the
clerks are more courteous and take more pains to show
goods, because they, like herself, are not tired at that time
of the day. ,
Knowing this to be true, we suggest to all ladies able
to do so, to try this plan and do their shopping in the
early part of the day.
