WORLAND, Wyo., March 30.—One of the last acts of William Raymer, an undertaker who committed suicide by blowing off his head with giant powder, was to protect his small creditors at the expense of a local bank. Raymer borrowed $100 from the bank, paid off his small credilors, bought.a stick of giant powder, walked to a lonely spot, laid down with the explosive under his head and set off the powder. His body was found by a woman who had gone for « walk to enjoy the spring air but who, instead of deriving benefit from her outing was so profoundly shocked that she is ill. Raymer's suicide is believed to have resulted from the loss of his savings when his home was destroyed by fire recently. ; The mon rency, was in the house and was consumed. | | , it is said, in cur ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., March 30. —dJoe Sulnitch is under arrest as one of the vendors in a deal here a few days ago whereby Mike Yovitch and Mike Begovitch were deceived into paying $2,300 for water in the belief JACKSON, Wy March 30,—The Proposal of the stockmen of the Jac son Hole district involying a plan for the protection of elk of this region from famine during the winter, has been turned down by the federal biolog- ical survey, although It received the indorsement of the federal forest serv- | ice, and negotiations between a com- mittee representing the stockmen and representatives of the federal govern- ment, are at an end.
