OFT Suicide.
j Moline has had two suicides within
forty eight hours. The most startling
and vet it was not wholly unexpected
was the self-inflicted death of L. 81. Bar
ker. prominent and old citizen who hat
lived there since 1854. being the frs
local agent for the Rock Island road il
that place. He had been respondent fol
some time. owing largely to continued il
health, and he had frequently threatened
suicide, and often manifested symptoms
OF determination to carry out his threat
The consequence was that he was con
stantly watched, and when his family left
home neighbor was requested to keep
an eye on Mr.. Bankers movements
Yesterday, however, they neglected
this precaution, aud the neigh5or hap
pened to be away from home at the same
time. Mr.. Barker thus realized his ops
portunity to carry out his design. and he
seized 1t. Securing a clothes line he
went to the second floor and dropped one
end down through the register, and fas-
tening the other end securely above.
Descending to his bedroom he
mounted soap box. made moose,
poked his head through it and fastened
1t about his neck. Then he kicked the
box out from under his feet and strangled
himself. The CHASTITY sight that met the
eyes of his wife and daughter on their
return from church may be imagined.
Coroner Halves was summoned and Sc,

OF which was verdict of death by sui
eide.
