HE HANGED HIMSELF.
A Bohemian Farm Hand Who
Shuffied OFF.

Coroner w. G. Overstreet went out
to the farm of T.. V. Witcher, about
nine miles northeast of Sedalis, yes
terday morning to hO'd an inquest On
the body OF a man who had hanged
himself Friday afternoon i'm Witch
er's stable, DR.. Draesel accompanied
the coroner, and Undertaken Hills
also went to bring the corpse in to be
buried in the city cemetery. The
coroner did not have jury sum-
moned, not deemiDg it necessary, aud
his verdict was that, usual, under like
circumstances, that it YVES a case of
suicide.
The mans name was Wenzel
Kouba, and tie was a Bohemian By
birth, aged about ~ years. He hal
be farmland for Capt. Wicher
for a considerable time, and was
considered a good employe. Fri
dsy Kouba came to Sedalia, and
when he got back home about, or a
little after dinner time he gave evi.
dence that he had been drinking.
The ladies' of the family noticed his
condition and were considerably
alarmed for fear Kouba, who had a
revolver in the house, might get it
and possibly DO himself or somebody
harm. Kouba. on previous occa-
sion, bad taken out some beer to
Witcher's aud had been reproved for
it IN firm language by his employers
wife. Friday when he reached home
so much under the influence of strong
drink, he seemed Respondent over
that fact, or something else, and. al
though invited to eat, refused.
He was seen to 60 into smoke
house in the yard and change his
clothes for rougher working suit.
This was the last seen of the man, un
til about 4 O'Clock, when Mtssrs. Red
Major and Grinstead, happened in ON
a nelghborly visit to Witcher's and
had occasion to go the stable. Here
they found Kouba hanging from
rafter by a halter rope around his
neck, dead. From appearance,
Kouba must have climbed up on a
door in the partition, adjusted the
rope around the rafter and his neck,
aud then let himself drop the full
length of the halter.
The body was left hanging, for
some time, until Maj. Gentry and
Mr.. Msgruder. an old citizens of the
neighborhood had taken a view of the
suicide. AT the instance Of Judge |
Gentry, KOuba was taken down and |
properly laid out. The coroner was
,ent for and the further proceedings
Ire narrated abovs.
KOnba, it is said, was IA deserter
rom the German army, but this is
lot considered as having been an
lement in the circumstances which
ed the man to take his own life.
Kouba's body was buried yesterday
fternoon by Mr.. Hills in the city
etery, Sedalia.
