William H. Bass committed suicide yesterday afternoon at 3:20 o'clock, in a railroad cut 4 miles south of town, by shooting himself through the head.
His friends all say that Mr. Bass had been drinking heavily of late and that the tragedy at Gleneyre, two weeks ago, when his nephew, Louis Pache shot his father in defense of Mrs. Pache who was Mr. Bass's sister, has preyed continually on his mind, often causing him to break down in tears and lamentations.
Mrs. Bass has been absent from home for some time visiting for the sake of her health at Moscow, Idaho. She was telegraphed to by the sheriff yesterday, after the tragedy, and word was received in answer saying that Mrs. Bass had already left Moscow for Laramie that morning.
Mr. Bass was a resident of Laramie for about fifteen years. He was an excellent carpenter and in business for a long time as a contractor and builder.
