AN ISLAND SUICIDE.
JOSEPH KEATES, SR., HANGS HIMSELF IN
HIS ZANB STREET SHOE SHOP.
The Bdy Discovered by His Son About Ten O'clock IN
the Noruiug-The Deceased q Native Of
England, and SO Years Of Age.

When Joseph Keates, Jr., opened the
door of his fathers shoe shop, in the real
of the family residence, No. 6 Zane street,
Island, about O quarter to ten o'clock yes
terday morning, he was Mortified at discov-
eripg the dead body ofhis father suspended
from a light beam of wood which crossed
the room about eight and n half feet
from the floor. Young Mr.. Keates at once
gave the alarm, and Officer Lukens, and a
number of neighbors were soon crowded
into the little shop. A messenger was de-
spatched for Coroner Schultze, and by the
time that official arrived the body had
been cut down. The Coroner ut once be
gan an inquest, which developed the fol-
lowing facts:
The deceased had been q tenant Of a lit
tie frame building owned by the Wheeling
and Belmont Bridge Company, just west OF
the "round house." for the past fourteen
years, where he had carried on the bust
ness of mendipg boots and shoes. About q
week sgo he was warned out Of the house,
and removed his shop to a little two-story
frame stable, Immediately in the rear OF
the house he occupied as q residence, at
No. 6 Zane street. There he had re.
sumed his business, and wa supposed TO
be carrying it on as before. Yesterday
morning he arose as usual, and after work
Ing about the premises for a time, he went
over to town. There he drank some beer,
and returned 10 the Island apparently in
his usual spirits. He was known TO be de-
pressed at times, however, and 1t is sup
posed that after entering his shop he became
melancholy, and determined upon ending
his life, Mounting a chair, he tied a short
piece of half-inch rope around the beam
alluded TO above, and TO the loop thus
formed attached a piece OF thin rope. The
other end wa made into q loop, which he
placed about his neck, and then stepping
of the chair, was straugled to death.
When found the balls Of his shoes were
touching the floor, while the heels weIc not
more than a quarter Of an inch from the
boards. his hat was still upon his head,
and his features and general attitude indi-
Gated that there had been no struggle.
Thessverdict of the Coroner was in accord
ance with the facts, and the body was turn
ed over to the two children Of the deceas'
ed, a son and a daughter, for burial.
Joseph Keates was born at Cheadle, in
the Parish Of the same name, England,
April 2, 1929. He married Eliz beth
Faulkner, of the Parish OF C~heckley, and
the family emigrated to this country in
1871, locating on the Island, where they
have since remained. Mrs. Kestes died
come five or six years ago. Mr.. Keates
was known to almost every citizen Of the
portion of town in which he resided, and
the news of bis suicide, "a a consequence,
created q good deal of excitement.

your revenge will be complete. Men who
have mastered the game Of chess with ease

come raving maniacs in a single sitting

schedule is not really bad-all you have
to do in scheduling eight clubs is to let
every club open and close the season at

grounds on the Fourth Of July, and have
each club travel a few hundred miles lees
