Death by self destruction near Moapa Nevada
The article details the suicide of W F Leon, a 60 plus Nevada mining man, who resided at the old Indian Reservation. He wrote two letters on Sunday October 1 and disappeared in the evening, leaving a note directing searchers to find his body in the river above the bridge. A rope was found and his body recovered with a gunshot wound, the rope securing him as the body hung near the riverbank. His debts were about five dollars, with assets largely tied to his labor and property, and his affairs were to be handled by Sheriff Turner to remit assets to Mrs Mary Leon in Belmont Nevada.
