Troubles Cause Knight to Take His Own Life
San Joaquin Supervisor’s Active Career Ended by Rifle Bullet
Shows Great Nerve
When First Shot Fails He Reloads Weapon and Tries Again
Special Dispatch To The Call
Stockton, July 25. – Rendered physically and mentally unwell by increasing business cares, brooding over inability to break himself from the excessive use of alcohol and despondent because former friends had turned against him since he advocated and caused the county Sunday ordinance to take effect, Henry B. Knight, chairman of the San Joaquin county board of supervisors and representative of the Fifth supervisorial district ended his life at 5 o’clock this morning, at the close of a night of sleeplessness, by firing two bullets from a .45 caliber rifle into his breast at his beautiful home near Lathrop. The farm hand on the Knight ranch saw Knight fire the second shot. Attired in shirt and trousers, Knight armed himself with his rifle and walked into the back yard. When near a small store room he loaded the rifle and placing the muzzle upon his left breast, leaned over, pulled the trigger with his toe, sending a bullet through his body. The shock did not even dispossess him of his senses. He hurried away from the store room and, reloading the rifle, repeated his act, sending a second bullet through his heart. Even then he did not fall, but walked some 20 yards and fell with shout significant of great joy. The unfortunate man was still alive when his daughter came to him some minutes later. Knight was one of the most prominent ranchers of the county. He leaves a large and valuable estate.
