trict court, by Chief Justice J. i. Sener.

Suicide.

At 8 o'clock last evening Paul Rewman
telephoned the Times Office that q man
had been found dead. hanged, ON Upper
Sherman street. Investigation proved
that il was only too true, and another
was to be added to the long list Of per
sons who have taken their lives by their
own hands in the Hills. In this case it
was found to he Colonel Ankeny, who
has lived in that locality since early in
the spring Of 1877.
Colonel Ankeny has been living in A
ctbin not far from the residence Of Pat
Early, at this end Of Cleveland, for a
long time.
For a week or two past he has been
acting queerly, and complaining to his
friends of a bad feeling in his head. and
saying to them that if anything should
happen to him he hoped they would
look after him. He usually came to Sol
Rosenthal's store on Sherman street,
every day, and had been in the habit of
sitting there talking ard reading. For
two or three days he did not make his
appearance, and Sol, becoming alarmed
at his absence, went and told Frank De-
Mouth. with whom deceased was on in
innate terms, of his absence, and Frank
went mp to his cabin, and by pushing
away the curtain from the window, he
saw the body suspended by a rope. He
went for the sheriff, who upon his ar
rival forced in the door. He was hang.
ing, or rather reclining, his feet and legs
being on the floor, almost in a sitting
position, with a bed cord attached to a
beam and around his neck. He had APP
parently been dead two days.
Deceased was from iowa, near Des
Moines, was in the army and made a
good record during the rebellion. His
brother was at one time United States
marshal Of Iowa. Since coming to the
Hills deceased has operated quite ex-
tcnsiyely in mines, was a civil engineer,
and owned interests in several mines

about 40 years of age, unmarried, a man
Of good habits and morals, and a gentle.
man. He was Il first cousin Of o. Z. An
