| Show i j A rRIHT UL TRAGEDY Herman Vogel a Logan Brewer Suicides With a Shotgun WHOLE JAW SHOT AWAY WAS FEARFULLY MANGLED A CANNOT RECOVER Had Quarreled With His Stepson and Held H Responsible Apparently Ap-parently Without Reason Committed Com-mitted the Deed I the Presence of His Wife State Nc > From The Heralds Correspondents Logan March 2SA fearful tragedy occurred her at 1130 this morning when Herman Vogel the proprietor of the Logan City brewery attempted suicide sui-cide by shooting himself in the head with a double barreled shotgun The whole lower jaw of the wouldbe sul I < Jde was shot away and the rest Of his I face up to a point half way between the mouth and eyes is terribly torn presenting a most shocking spectacle The gun had evidently been placed un ilep his throat and in endeavoring to rtach the trigger of the weapon with his hand his head was thrown back so that the charge of shot but carried away the lower part of his face whereas where-as he intended to blow his whole head off In this connection it is rather strange however that he fired but one barrel of the gun when he found he had not killed himself as he was quite conscious when fdund and there was another loud in the gun The deedwas committed in the bottling bot-tling house which is across the street from the brewery and but a few steps from his residence Vogel sat on the edge of the bottling vat and fired the gun As soon as the report was heard his wife and some of the men employed em-ployed by Vogel rushed to the building build-ing and found him sitting on the floor while blood and pieces of flesh were scattered all over the room The marshal mar-shal and the Drs Ormsby were immediately imme-diately summoned and when they arrived ar-rived Vogel was led into the house where being furnished with a paper and penci he wrote and signed the following fol-lowing statement I have done this of my own freewill free-will and F C Kidgell is the cause of it H P VOGEL KIDGELLS STATEMENT Your correspondent interviewed Mr Kidgeil who Is a stepson of Vogel and found that he was quite astonished at the statement made b Vogel Mr Kid gell who has worked for Vogel for years had a little dispute with him on Saturday evening over a matter of wages and failing to agree Kidgell intimated in-timated that he would sue for the I amount Since then however nothing has passed between them and no one suspected that Vogel had taken the matter so seriously Kidggll came downtown down-town this morning and after consulting an attorney concluded to let the matter mat-ter drop Jf he could not settle It peace rg I ably but he had not spoken of the matter mat-ter to Vogel or any one else In response re-sponse to the question as to whether any threats had been made on Saturday Satur-day evening Mr Kidgell said that the only threat made was that of his Intention In-tention to enter suit Vog was a hard drinker and on Saturday evening was very much the I worse for liquor and as he has been I drinking considerably since that time I is thought a desire for revenge when crazed from the effects of the liquor caused him to cpmmit tie act lr Vogel who is nearly crazed with grief it is claimed said that she witnessed the shooting Vogel went down town it Is thought to procure the ammunition ammuni-tion to kill himself with and returning aecurtu toe bun ann startec lor the bottling house According to Mrs Vo I gels statement she followed him and demanded the gun but Vogel placed the muzzle under his chin and remarking remark-ing that he would like to see her get it fired the shot that blew his javoff Dr Ormsby after examining the wound pronounced It a hopeless case Vogel unable to swallow being swlow anything whatever and the prospects are that he will starve to death unless the physicians phy-sicians devise some way of feeding him through a tube Vogel was on Main street 15 minutes before the tragedy and evidently was in the best of spirits chatting quite freely and good natured ly with his acquaintances yet he went straight home and committed the act which has shocked the community Vogel is a German and has lived in Logan for a long time He is about 55 years of age and without family other than his stepchildren The habit he had of avoiding liquor at times and drinking to excess at others was undoubtedly the main cause for the commission of the shocking crime Threequarters of an hour after the shooting Vogel was still in command of all his faculties and got upon the operating table himself him-self without any aid whatever to have the wound dressed He presented the most revolting sight imaginable His I wife is utterly prostrated and unable to see anyone At this writing the doc tois are still at work dressing the wound Vogel is a member of A O U w lodge No 14 and in case of death his wife will receive the 2000 accruing to the families of members of that organization organ-ization of which he had always been an active member PARK CT BRIEFS
