From the Greensburg Press we learn that
about aalf-past O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
the Sisters of Charity were startled at hear
ing the report os q revolver near their resi-
dence and upon Investigating the matter
found man, who proved to be Squire
Elder. formerly of Mt. Pleasant, but for
some time a resident Of Greeusburg, lying
under an apple tree. about forty yards from
the building, with a bullet hole through the
body. The squire was seen by the Sisters
in the forenoon, sitting along the railroad
reading 4 newspaper. but they took little ac-
count of him, as they supposed him to be a
tramp. He got into some financial trouble
several months ago while In Mt. Pleasant,
and since that time has been acting rather
strangely. but no one anticipated any such
rash act. He has family, consisting of a
wife and FIVE children, living in Greensburg.
