lev, near neighbor. Yesterday morning
he failed TO 90 to his breakfast as usual,
and his landlady, becoming somewhat
alarmed, sent a colored man over TO the
farm to see about him. The man, on ar
irving at the house, finding the front door
omen. went in and discovered Mr.. Barker
living on the floor OF his bedroom dead,
with ghastly wound through the head ana
the gun with which the fatal deed had been
committed near by. From the condition
of the body when first discovered death
must have occurred in the early part OF
Wednesday night. The charge entered
under the chin and came ont OF the back OF
the head. No cause could be assigned Tor
the rash act except that the deceased Tor
several days previous had been very de-
spondent. He was about forty-tve years
OF age and unmarried.
