Attempts To EnA His Exlstenee.

Jacob Henry Taught, q weli-known farmer.
whose property is situated ON the sriyer
road in Sidney, about five miles above An
gusta attempted to end his existence Sun
day morning by putting pistol ball through
his heart; bnt ignorance of the exact Ioca-
ton of that organ prevented the shot from
proving Immediately fatal. although death
will probably ensue in few hours. Mr..
Taught is % years of age. For some time
be has been out of health, and lately has
been very Respondent. Yesterday morning
after breakfast he went out to the stable tn
look after the horse, and after attending to
the animals went up stairs where his little
daughters were, and spoke few affectionate
words to them. Procuring writing materials
he sat down at table and indited few SEN
fences in little memorandum BOOK to the
effect that he'was tired of living, and that
the least thing he could do was to make way
with himself, as he had suffered a great deal
and saw no hope of being permanently re-
stored to health. Asking the forgiveness of
his family tor what he was about to do, he
commended his wife and children to the care
of his father who lived in the housewife them.
LET my funeral be as private as possible"
ne wrote, ''and don't have an inquest over
my remains. | am not insane" Mr..
Taught then went to the trunk of the hired
man AMI took from it single-barrelled pis-
tol, calibre 81. Going to the rear of his sta
Bile, he fired, intending to shoot himself
through the heart. The ball entered the
left breast directly below the heart, going
through portion of the stomach and lodg-
ing within an inch of the spine, near the sur
face. His family heard the report of the
pistol and rushed to the scene of the tragedy.
The rash man was conveyed to the house,
and DR.. G. W. Martin summoned from Au-
gusta. The doctor extracted the ball, but
found that an internal hemorrage had taken
place, as the patient was much Frustrated
and was vomiting blood. He will probably
die. Upon recovering consciousness Mr.
Fanght expressed no regret at his action,
but protested that it was better for him to
die than to live confirmed invalid. Mr..
Taught was in comfortable circumstances
and was generally respected. His sad at
tempt to end his life is great shock to his
family, who have the sympathy of a wide
circle of friends in their terrible calamity.
