some tine during Monday night,
probably about o'clock. George r.
Gibson, Young man about ls years

Otsego, Mieh., where MS mind became
somewhat deranged through a shock
ing accident. While in bathing with
hss brother. the latter was drowned
before bis eyes. and the shock Was SC
great that he never fully recovered
from it. The scene OF that frightful
moment followed the young man
through all days and hours, and finally
drove hum a. his death.
To bfsng about = change OF scene and
surroundings, Young Gibson wa'
brought % ths city and placed IN the
LtN Othce OF Mr.. sweet. lt MAS hoped
that the diversion OF wholly new oc
cupati0n would bring with u tOrgetfnl
ness OF his sorrow. bat tue experiment
was wholly unsuccessful. The yOune
man WAS tnen sent 10 the Dakota farm OF
hisuucie with the same end IN view. HI:
melancholy only increased IN the lone
Is ISOLATION of farm life, and fort
night ago he Was brought back 10 tins
city and placed IN the Office of the
Princess Dressing Case Company. Dur
ing the tlnle since his return here
there have been some indications tC
raise hopes ia tue minds of friends oi
an improved mental condition, but the
sad outcome has shown that these
hopes were not we'll founded.
The body OF the deceased was found
yesterday morning by G. Blakeslee, d
driver for the staye Company, i. j
Thom psOn, driver for the Standard On
Company, aud Gus Albrecht. The
young man was dead when found, 9

through 4 wound just IN front Of the
the right ear. A SS-calIber revolver
was found beside the body. with two
chambers empty, and the pantaloon':
pocket was filled with cartridges. PistO
shots had been heard about 9 O'Clock
the evening before, by the Bromley
family, near by, but no suspicion of SC
terrible a tragedy was reused by them
The body WAS removed by the author
iiics 20 kOch's undertaking rooms, OF
West Brdge-st. where they remained
unidentified until the news OF suicide
reached the oificc OF the Princess Dress
Ing Case Company. This fact, III con
necuon with the absence Of yOung Glib
sou from hls desk, reused the fears o
Col. Joseph Penny, who d rectly re
paired 10 the place where the body lay
Upon viewing the remains, his wors
fears were realized.
That the suicide was pTemedtated
was proved by q note left by the young
man az MS boarding house on Barclay
ST., in which he SAID that ne was hope
less of success and happiness IN life
and was soTry for all the trouble he ha,
given his friends.
in view Of all the facts n tho case
which were readily obtained, COrone
Iochcr concluded that there vas no re
manning mystery n the case, and tha
a formal inquest was unnecessary. Tn

cssket. and sent % OtsegO on the
o'clock tram on the l.. : & NJ. :. YES
