zen OF North sheffield, Attempts Self
De.trueEIOn with a Ride.


About half past five on Tuesday morn
ing last, the family of W. R. Howard were
startled by the report of gun. On look
ing for the cause they found the body Of
Mr.. H. in the cellar, with rife by his side,
aud the blood oozing from hole over his

neighborS rallied, and the body removed
to a room above. Dr. Parshal. Of kings

seems he had gone to the cellar before the
family was up, taking with him his rifle
and a stick some two feet in length Inc
gun was rested upon the cellar bottom ana
his head placed directly over the muzzel,
and the discharge effected by applying the
stick 70 the hammer. He lived through
Tuesday and up to Wednesday morning
news OF his death had not reached US.
Mr.. Howard was aged about 65, and
was considered in comfortable circum-
stances. having a good farm at North
Sheffield Corners. His family consisted of
his wife and three sons-Albert and Charles
and Prof. A. L. Howard. Of Kingsville.
He had been of unsound mind for years.
and an inmate of Newburg. and had some
two or three years since made a previous
attempt at self destruction with a rope,
but was discovered and cut down in time
to save his life
The wound was probed several inches,
but the ball was not found.
