Man Shoots Self in Dillon Lodging House Mystery
John S. Dunkin, known as Dunk, killed himself with a 38 caliber revolver at the Thompson lodging house on North Montana Street between 8 and 6. A longtime railroad worker and local figure, Dunkin had recent troubles including drinking, a missing letter from a sweetheart, and a prior five year sentence. The inquest returned death by own action. His sister in Kansas was notified and the remains shipped to Iowa. Louis Stahl proceeded to oversee a steam shovel shipment to Trident Montana.
