Nelson, first name not determined, hanged herself with a rope, presumably some time lust night. In the furnished rooms which she occupied at 111 Twenty Sixth street. Mrs. Nelson Is said to be the wife of a man known about town as "Dutch" Nelr son. Despondency is thought tc In the cause 'of her act. Mrs. Nelson was a tall woman, of good appearance and In perfect health aged about forty years. Last evening she went to the other roomers In the house where she was staying and tuld about her lack of money. She gave no hint of domestic troubles, hut wept like a baby when she said that she was hard up, and that it lookel as though starvation was staring her In the face. No intimation of her intentions fo take her own life were given at the time. The dead body of the woman was found a few minutes before three oclock this afternoon by a Greek who Is employed in cleaning up the place. The woman had tied a strong noose about her neck, thrown one end of the rope over the door, then shut it and let her body sink to the floor, her weight being sustained by the hempen cord, while sh slowly choked to death. At almost Any time, until she lost her senses, the woman could have relieved the suffering end sustained life by simply standing up, instead of enduring all the pains of while she bore down with her entire weight upon the cord. Desk Sergeant George Ward law responded to the call sent In this after-no- n and found the body hanging from the rope and cold in death, it seems evident that life must have become extinct several hours before the body was found. Mrs, Nelson had no children living with her. It is not known whether she has any. The room gent had been paid In advance and the man called "Dutch" Nelson, said to be her husband, had been living a part of the time with her. She had resided In the furnished rooms on Twenty sixth street for about three weeks, but It was never learned whether she was a newcomer to Ogden or had resided at some other house previously in this city. Judge Murphy, as ocroner, took charge of the body and will make an examination to disclose the facts in the case. It is likely that an inquest will be held. nt nlcl HARRIMAN , IN $50,000,000 r DEAL - - March 10. Henry E.
