S"icide.-William Z. Porter, of
Piny Ridge. near Eckhart, committed
suicide Thursday evening last week by
shooting himself in the ear. He left
the house about o'clock to visit a
neighbor, as his family supposed. Not
returning, his son, Frank, went to look
for him and found him lying at the
edge of a small body of timber, a few
hundred yards from the house with an
old pistol, which he had owned about
80 years, clasped tightly in his hand.
Examination showed that charge of
heavy shot had been fired directly into
the left ear. Mr.. Porter had been suf-
ferlng with dyspeI STA for some time

of dependency he killed himself.
