 -Arthur Adams, young man who has for some time resided in this village, son of E. A. Adams, shot himself on Monday evening. Cause, jealousy. Some two years ago he took an overdose of laudanum, as it was claimed by mistake, but generally belief was averse to that claim. He at that lime, as during the intervening pe- riod, had paid attention to young lady, Wh9 9nppeared not fully to respond to his feelings, and his suit was not favored by 6uSe BtF1B parents WmI0 W1CR her. on Monday evening he sent her to the kitch- 6n for glass of water, and when she left the room drew out revolver, put it to his head, and fired. The ball, 32 caliber, was battered ont of all semblance to its or igiual shape, but did not enter the brain, thongh the skull was badly fractured. The pistol was evidently put against the head, On the right side, and just back of the ear. Dr. Watts was called, and also Dr. Rand of Monson was summoned. The ball was easily extracted. Young Adams was re- moved to his fathers house on Tuesday, and the wonnd is not considered to be necessarily fatal one, though there is danger of inflammation or blood poison ing. Young Adams worked at the River side mill, and was of temperate habits, and 8 member of the Temple of Honor. He was persistent suitor of the young lady, and could not bear to have her receive at tentions from any other.
