25 1, GRAND SHOOTING TOURNAMENT BOHEMIAN FOR THE MEDAL. ROUND TRIP 25cl HIS MOTIVE REVEALED. What Prompted Louis Hoff. meister's Suicide. He Paid Court to and Corresponded With Two Girls.

Buying One a Diamond Ring and the Other a Gold Watch, Buggy Rides and the Theaters Twice a Week, And All On the Paltry Salary of Fifteen Dollars a Month. The Boy Colleoted His Employer's Bills, But Failed to Ever Turn in a Cent. The motive for the suicide of Louis meister, at Norwood, a week ago Monday, is no longer shrouded in mystery. The act of self-murder was prompted by despair and self-loathing. The youth was a thief.

For a period covering ten weeks he had been deliberately robbing his employer, and in such a bold way that discovery was only a matter of time. There was no possible way of concealing his misdeeds. if, indeed, he ever had a desire to cover his wrong-doing. He did it with Dis eyes open. well knowing detection must come, and surprised, no doubt, that it did not come sooner.

It must bave been 8 curious process of blind, mental calculation that the boy on. He probably thought to himself: "I will steal this money. enjoy myself with it. and when I get to the end kill myself." 'A short life. tilled with pleasure, is more desirable than a long one of drudgery" has been A DELUSIVE GUTDE -POST That has turned many a young life to Louis Hoffmeister was scarcely quinine parents are estimable working people of Newport.

The youth was employed pearly a year ago by George Failor, a grocer of king avenue station, Norwood. His salary was $15 a month. with board and lodging. His work consisted of taking orders for groceries, delivering the goods, collecting the bills and taxiux care of the horse and delivery wagon, with occasionally a little clerking about the store. His work began at 6 o'clock in the morning and continued until about 6 o'clock in the evening.

Every Wednesday night and every Sunday worning he would take the train for Cincinnati. returning on the last out-going train. These Wednesday evening were spent in the society of Miss Gertie Mariana. a sixteenyear-old girl living at No. 115 Bellevue street, Newport, to whom he seemed devotedly attached.

On Sundays be invariably spent few hours at his parents' home. 15 Mayo street. Newport. eating dinner and supper there, and devoting the rest the day to Miss Mariana. On a salary of $15 a month young Hoffmeister managed to dress well.

always took his girl out buggy-riding or to the theater. sometimes both, whenever he called, CAVE HER COSTLY PRESENTS. A gold watch and chain among other things. Of these little extravagances his employer kuew nothing, while Miss Mariana. who received these attentions ay a matter of course.

probably was ignorant of the real amount of her beau's earnings. Since about the middle of last April young Hoffmeister made these semi-weekly visits to town. He also carried on a regular correspondence with Miss Mariana. Not only with her, but the youth seemed to waver between two loves. Miss Bettie Atchison, is a pretty, young lady who formerly lived opposite the Hoftmeisters in Newport, and between whom and Louis A a strong friendship existed.

When the where they now moved to Birmingbam, reside. Louis continued their friendship and corresponded. After Hoffmeister's death his employer. in looking over his effects. found two large packets of letters, one from the New port girl and the other from the Birmingham girl.

In looking through the letters from the latter he found a passage in one which thanked Louis kindly for the BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND RING He had sent her. It was this which first aroused Mr. Failor's suspicions. How could a boy buy a diamond ring gation on his $15 a fears month? that had Beginning an investi; be been victimized became only too well grounded. Here is the story of young Hoffmeister's crookedness.

as toid THE ENQUIRER by Mr. Failor: My customers have all dealt with me for many years. They live within a radius of say two miles of the store, and it is an all day's job going around to supply their wants. Each customer bad accountbook with the store, and usually, paid each week. This mopey was collected by Louis.

and he receipted the books. Up till about the middle of April. or about the time Louis became so infatuated with his girl, the accounts were paid to Louis and turned in to me regularly. At that time, however, there came a after change. week.

Louis used to to me. week and say: Mr. So and So says he can pay this week. as he is Of 1 course. had baving no known my to giving customers so long, objections them credit.

It ran along in this manner until there were about thirty, customers, who always had been prompt before. who were now behind from $1 to $40. On the 1st of July. needing money, I told Louis he must collect from these delinquents. He went ont with a handful of bills.

but caine back with THE SAME EXCUSE. The people had no money and wanted another week. On the Saturday before he shot himself, the week being up. I sent him out again, that He all the brought in a few dollars, and said others bad promised faithfully to pay up on Mouday evening. I told him I would do the collecting myself on Monday.

next day (Sunday) he went Newthe port and saw his girl. as He opened store Monday morning. but all that day I noticed that be was out of sorts. He attributed it to headache. and my wife jokingly asked him one of -his girls had gone back on him.

He mumbled some reply, and about supper time he went to his room. saying he was sick. He bad previously gone to the depot and tried to borrow a pistol. and failing there went to Dr. Graybill's.

I never suspected such a thing as his robbing me until the next day. when I rend that letter from Germe Atchison, thanking him for the diamond ring. In his pockets, too. found all the bills to my customers. which 1 bad given him to, deliver the Saturday before.

There is a great hue and cry raised around the Recorder's office about the new set of plat books for the county, which are NOW nearly finished, as to their being correct.

so that they may be of the value intended. For years the transfers have been neglected. so that when a person wants to find the present owner of a piece of property he will see by the plats that in many instances the property bas been sold from five to ten times since the last transfer in the plats.

John D. Rockefeller's Income Nearly Twenty. Five Thousand Dollars a Day. (Chicago Tribune.) CLEVELAND, July H. M.

Flagler said. a short time ago, that John D. Rockefeller's income had reached $9.000.000 a year. This startling statement, coming from a man AS well informed as Mr. Flagler regarding the affairs of the Standard Oil Company, Was the basis of a careful inquiry among brokers and well-informed financiers as to the wealth of ('levelanders generally, and it can be safely said that there are no less than sixtythree millionaires within the limits of the Forest City, to say nothing of immense estates owned jointly by heirs.

Mr. Flagler's statement regarding Mr. Rockefeller's income would make the head of the great Standard Oil Trust worth 000.000 on a 6 per cent. basis. He said his own income was $3,000.000 a year, and estimated Colonel Oliver Pa.

ne's wealth at about 000,000. But the Standard Oil people are not the only, wealthy residents of Cleveland whose holdings are represented in seven and eight figures. Selah Chamberlain is worth $16.000.000, most of which is invested in the best of railway securities. and the S. V.

The developments in street railways have turned attention to Mr. Wade's real estate interests in the East End Cleveland, and it is only of late that it has become generally known that he owns twelve miles of street fronts in that neighborhood. The Wade Park. property alone will eventually cover a street of nine or ten mites.

Heil openly ACCUSED HIS WIPE Of unfaithfulness.

Heil then went systematically to work to sift the matter, He even went so far as to go to stores Stone had made purchases, and, securing permission. examined the books find out what he bad bought. He failed to secure conclusive proof of the gailt of the pair. and then resorted to other methods.

He had his friends watch HIS WIFE AND STONE. The latter got onto the fact, as did William N. Forbes, Stone's father-in-law, and he employed private deteetives to watch Heil and Die spotters. The chase was growing decidedly bot. and the principals were wrought up to such pitch, that they, each, armed and each declared his intention of laying out the other at the first opportunity, This thoroughly aroused Mrs.

Heil. and she, taking sides against her husband. kept Stone posted concerning Heil's movements. much to keep, the men apart. One of Heil's adherents has pearly worried Mrs.
