Faced Penth When UlahTrarman
Tried to Hold Hint t and Shot
Mini Pa Hp Wn Knotty
t'nntnrpd.
After demonstrating tho quality of his
courage by facing death at the hands of
h desperate holdup man and coolly shoot
ing the hand that was thrusting a re
volver In his face. Chris Thompson, a
well known veteran bartender, yester
day morning suffered death at his own
hand. He killed hlmseir by flrinKing
about a quarter of an ounce of carbolic
acid In his room In tho rear of thu
saloon building located at the corner or
South Main and Story streets at 5:
o'clock. lie was dead when City
Physician Tubbs, who had been called
by James Bell, a roommate, reacnea mo
place a few minutes after the call was
made.
The saloon building, a substantial
brick affair. Is owned by tho Krug
Brewing company of Omaha, and was
closed a year ago, when tho new stato
law limiting tho number of saloons In
tho city to twenty-nine went Into effect.
Since then the building hod been Idle
and Thompson had been permitted to
occupy the rear room as caretaker. Ho
was 61 years old. and for a year or
more had not been In good health. He
hod also become very despondent over the
loss of his business.
Leaves Note About Ktim.
A crudely written note was found
scrawled with a pencil:
"You keep the ring, J. Bell.
"CHRIS THOMPSON."
The ring referred to was a heavy gold
band of large size, which Bell had been
wearing, It Is Bald, for several weeks.
Bell nlso claimed that a gold watch be
longing to Thompson had also been
clven him. but he readily gave up both
ring and watch, and turned them over
to the dead man s niece, daughter ot nis
brother. Peter Thompson.
Three years ngo Thompson gained wiue
notoriety by the fearless manner in
which he confronted a holdup mat. who
entered tho saloon at Main street and
Sixteenth avenue early In tho evening,
and after ordering all present to throw
up their hands, leaned over the bar and
pressed his revolver Into Thompson s
face. Instead of complying, Thompson
selied his own revolver from tho bar
shelf and began firing. The first shot
struck the holdup man's 'gun liana,
breaking tho trigger finger and knock
ing tho trigger from the weapon, so It
could not bo fired. Thompson urea sc
eral more shots os the holdup tried
to get awuy, one taking effect In tho
shoulder, resulting In his arrest a few
moments after In tho Rock Island yards,
where he had fled. He proved to be
Charles Dlckout, a convict but recently
discharged. He Is now serving a long
sentence nt Anamosa for his crime.
Thompson had lived here for thirty
years. Two brothers live here and one
In Denmark. He had no family.

was built during the summer and autumn

The bridge Is about seventy feet long,
and spans u chasm that Is nearly 100

Saguln said last night that the bridge

been made by dlrglng deep wells at the

them with concrete. The bank has
caved away, letting the bottom of these
