He is employed as book-keeper in the Remington armory office. His father, Samuel Remington, is president of the Ilion armory and agricultural works." (Transcriber's note: C.

    REMINGTON SHOOTS SELF

    Chicago, July 28 - Carver Remington, scion of the Samuel Remington family, which founded the famous firearms company and typewriter corporation, died tonight from the effects of a self-inflicted bullet wound.

    "It is no use, dear," Remington told his wife a few hours before the end. "I'am tired of it all. I just want to rest."

    Despite the efforts of several surgeons and the pleading of his wife and brothers, Franklin and Ellphalet, who arrived from New York this morning, Remington persisted to the last in declaring that he wanted to die.

    "You will all be better off without me," he assertained. "It's strange I have lived so long. I must have a strong constitution."

    The remains will be taken to the old family home at Ilion, New York for interment.
