Lafayette, Ind., May 4—Louis Wurster, a cigar manufacturer, had a quarrel with his wife early Tuesday morning and left home late in the afternoon. His hat was found Wednesday on the river bank. A note in the hat indicated that he had drowned himself. On account of the very high water, all efforts to find the body have been futile.

Lafayette, Ind., May 8—Lewis Wurster, a tobacconist, left home May 2 because of a quarrel with his wife. That afternoon his hat and a memorandum book were found on the river bank north of the city. In the book was a message bidding the world good-by. The river was badly swollen and his body was not found until Saturday, disproving the theory of some that he had left the city instead of drowning himself. He was 65 years old. Domestic unhappiness led to the suicide. - thanks "s' for both :)
