A Wealthy Earmer Found With His Threat

most horrible case Of suicide OF murder, as The
case may be, was revealed yesterday in small set
tlennent about two miles from Hicksyille, Long
Island which has greatly aroused the popuace,
ana many and conflicting stories are advanced
In support OF the various theories OF his
death. The victim has long been resident OF the
village and was known by the name of David
Nostrand He was possessed OF u handsome farm
of nty-hyc acres. well Stocked and also kept dairy
OF great magnitude, sending thousands OF quarts Of
milk 10 New York and Brooklyn. He was con-
sidered TO have been worth at least $i5,00o bat 1t
has been ascertaned that upon his farm there was
a mortgage Of some $1,000 or $4,000.
Yesterday morning, when one Of the men In his
employ went TO the barn to look after the stock, he
was amazed to observe u human form suspended
from the great 0aken beam in the hayloft, and now
ana then drop OF blood falling from his person to
the rustic floor below. fastening to the dwelling

ting the rope which had been fastened
to the io sckenng sight pres. nted tsell to the
eyes OF the astontshed group. The throat was cut
from ear TO ear ana the .winlpipe and arteries
severed. What most asfOnished the spectators was
the small piece Of flesh which held together the head
and the body as 1t was not more than two inches in
width. The rope was thick nompen one, and had
been made into The form OF slip moose. Had II not
been for the tightness with Which it encircled the
neck the head and body would have been severed.
1t Is mystery not easy OF solution how he came
to his death, some believing that he committed sui
eide and Others that he was murdered. 1t IL stated
that he went 80 New York on Friday to raise snii-
cent money to pay or the little mortgage tnat
rested on his property but ne did not succeed ana
