A MAN VINO HANGED HIMSELF BECAUSE
CorLD NOT CATCH HIS HoRsE.-Adam Mag,
an eccentric German baker OF Mafa NOR as Pa,
on Monday afternoon went 20 catch his horse.
The horse gave him an annoying chase. Mag
be came very angry and did dot bride his
tongue. He obtained little sympathy from his
family. Soon afterward he went out and was
not seen again. Toward evening two girls were
passing a Hill on Milford road, Just below there
when they discovered him on his knees with
BIS arms around small cedar tree. Going up
TO him, the girls saw that there was a rope
around his neck. This was fastened 20 a small
limb of the tree, and Mag was dead.
