THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 23
SUICIDE.
Another Unfortunate Gone
Yesterday evening Samuel Mat
thews, ouo of I lie west side laundry -men
deliberately put a pistol to his
temple and fired the conteuts of one
of the chambers through his brain. Hi
wife stated that ho had been to the
new town all day and had been drink
ing. Whcu he returned between 4
and 5 o'clock yesterday evening he
entered the house and Inquired for
his dinner. His wife asked where he
tia.l been all day, he answered, that
itwasuoncof her business. When
ho had finished his meal he got up
from the table and went to his little
girl, who was standing in the door
and kissed her. Ho then went be
hind some curtaius which were hung
up before the bed, and shot himself.
He assigned no act, but at other times
under the influence of liquor he had
threatened his own life. Some of his
neighbors who saw him returning
from the new town, state that ho did
not seem to be in a bad humor, but
rather on the contrary, as he stopped
and played with the children whom
he met. He was aman of about 37
years of age. Had formerly lived in
Alameda, on Redeliver and moved to
this city the first of last January and
was occupying the building just east
of the court house. The pistol, which
Matthews used, belonged, it is said to
a man by the name of Irwin. Mat
thews had been carrying it for about
a week, it was a 38 calibre, Smith &
"Wesson. Half of the chambers were
empty. He leaves a wife and n little
girl three years old to mourn his un
timely death. They had adopted
little boy of Mrs,' Toddhuutcr's, who
now for a second timo within 10
months is left fatherless. A Mexican
washerwoman was the only person
besides Mrs. Matthews, in the house
at the time of the suicide. The sell
slain victim was a horrible sight as he
lay on the lloor bathed in
blood. The family are now
ins own
trulv ob
jeets of pity and the sorrowing wife as
she sat bathed in tears and bowed in
grief, beside her dead husband was
enough to move the heart of the most
narueneu person, llic coroners jury
returned a verdict of suicide.
Refutation.
Kditoh Gazette.
Having seen an article in yesterdays
Optic, which in some manner reflects
upon my personal character; said ar
t icio stating that my charge against
certain man who calls himself a lieu
icuant of the ban Miguel Killcs, was
uniustifiablc. I have the honor to
transmit herewith the following state
mentlor the lnlormauon ot all niv
friends and fellow citizens in general
I In the first place, this so-called lieu
tenant begged pardon of the under
signed iu the presence of Don Deme
trio Pcicz, and subsequently bcggci
his pardon in open court, crying at
the time for having made such a ter
riblc mistaks as of having insulted one
of our most respectable citizens, who
at the time of the occurrance was as
s;stmg linn in 1113 own duties, ani
has publiclv acknowledged that the
whole matter was a mistake, lie not
being familiar with the Spanish lan
"liase, and under the excitement of
the moment he committed the rash
act. for which ho is very sorry- All
this was confessed by this said Lieu
tenant Beckham, of the San Migue
Rifles, under tears. How the Optic
can make such an assertion as that the
charge made by Mr. Juan Jose Lo
pez, against this Lieutenant Beckham
was unjustifiable we do not under
stand, the accuseil party having con
fesscd his guilt and given full satis
faction to the offended party.

The peculiar kind of religion which
was preached and practiced by the so
called Army of Salvation while here,
is so much beticr honored in thebreach
than the observance, that nobody will
repent that Gen. Haskell and his army
have returned from St. Louis. The
sort of religious revival they under
took to conduct iu this city will do a
great deal more harm than good any
where, but it would have been worse
h an a mistake te have made war on
the Army of Salvation as the less
publicity they got the less harm they

straighten the road leading from the
plaza across the bridge to Rogers
Bros., blacksmith shop beyond the
acequia, and to plaut a row of trees
on each side. It is said that the whole
thing can be accomplished for $200.
If this is the case it should be done at
once, or at least as soon as it. will do
to plant trees. This street will al
ways be a good one, cither for busi
ness or dwelling purposes and the
beautifying of it will enchance its
value a hundred per cent. There arc
many other streets both in East and
West Las Vegas that could be made
beautiful by the planting of trees. The
trees along the streets and in the plaza
of" Santa Fe are her pride and add
greatly to the price of property there.
