ittRi lAliF1b0iA iFNAAl1NA w
This city was startled Wednesday
morning by the news Of the suicide
Of Edward Meighan, d wealthy
farmer residing in the town of VIII
low Springs, by hanging himself to
tree near his house. Mr.. Neigh
an was 81 years Of age, and an old
resident Of this county. The facts
in the case are as follows: About
one year ago Mr. Mcighan had the
misfortune to loose his wife, which
had the effect to set him crazy, and
about five months ago was sent to
the Insane Asylum at Madison,
His children not being satisfied
with their father there concluded to
have him brought home, which was
done about a month ago He APP
pealed much better after having
arrived home, and great hopes were
entertained for his Immediate recov-
cry. On Tuesday last, his sons
having come to town with hogs, he
was left at home with his daught-
or and neiee. About noon he told
his daughter he was going to see
his brother James, about two miles
distant, this being a usual occur
ence for him to do. About three
o'clock his daughter thinking il
about time for him to be home, and
getting little uneasy, started to
meet him, and when about 100
rods from the house found his dead
body suspended from a tree by a
rope. A ladder W az near by which
he had used in tying the rope to
the limb, then kicking in from
under leaving him suspended fully
four feet from the ground. An in
quest was held in the evening, the
jury bringing ii verdict accord
ing TO the facts above. A paper
vas found IN liz person stating
that had his wife lived he would
not have committed the deed.
