H. F. Montague Takes Own Life

Tonopah.-Nev. Feb 13-(Special)-- H.F. Montague, well known 
Tonopah resident and former member of the board of Nye county 
commissioners, took his own life here last night.  Mr. Montague's 
body was found this morning in the service car of the truck garage 
which adjoins the Montague home.  The motor of the car was still 
running, and fumes from the exhaust pipe had been directed by a 
tube into the cab, which was closed tightly.  Letters he wrote to 
his wife and friends were found, and indicated, officers said, that 
financial worries and despondency over his defeat in the last election 
prompted his action.  Mr. Montague who had lived here for many years, 
operated a truck line.  Funeral Arrangements have not yet been made.  
Survivors, in addition to Mrs. Montague, include five grandchildren.
