Former Payette Man Suicides.

J. J. Rogers, a former Payette lawyer and widely known in this community, 
committed suicide at his home in Boise about 2:30 yesterday morning by shooting 
himself through the head with a revolver.  The unfortunate occurrence took 
place in Mr. Rogers room.  Mrs. Rogers was present and did all in her power to 
avert the catastrophe by pleading with her husband not to commit the rash act 
but it was in vain.  The Statesman says that for many months past Mr. Rogers 
had been troubled with insomnia and at times his mind seemed to have given way 
under the strain of worries by day and sleeplessness by night.  As will be 
remembered Mr. Rogers attempted suicide a number of months ago by jumping into 
the Chicago river while in Chicago but was rescued.  Previous to going to Boise 
Mr. Rogers lived in Payette and while here was elected as a representative in 
the Fourth session of the legislature from Canyon county.
