Frank G. Barber Commits Sui.
eide.

eide.
The city of Garnett was complete
ly shocked yesterday, Wednesday
morning, by the report that FranI
G.. Barber had shot himself, witt
suicidal intent.
He went to his store in the morn
ing, as usual, passed through the
building in a few moments, going
into an clubhouse. His brother-in
law, E. Parks, then went to the
barber shop, leaving Thompson
Cooke in charge of the store, and
was gone about half an hour. Re
turning, Mr.. Parks asked, Where's
Frank?" Mr.. Cooke replied, "He
went out just before you left, and
hasn't got back" Parks then went
through the building and looked for
Mr.. Barber; found him still i'll the
clubhouse, in a sitting posture, mis-
face in his hands. Directly he saw
blood on the floor, and cut string
which fastened the door. He then
learned the truth: that Mr. Barber
had shot himself in the mouth.
Help was called, and the unfortu
nate man was helped into the store
and physicians were called, and it
was found that Mr.. Barber could
not recoverable leaden messenger
had done it's work.
We cannot give full particulars
of the horrible catastrophe, but say,
simply, that Mr.. Barber was carried
to his home, where he lay uncon-
scious until about 4:30 O'Clock p
m when his life went out-he pass
ed OH to the great beyond.
We are unable to give the reason
for this rash act. We may never
know nor does it matter to those
of us who remain. 1t is enough for
us to know that one of our best and
most prominent citizens has left us,
never to return, in which Garnett
suffers a great loss.
The deceased has filled several
positions ofhonor in Anderson cCun-
ty: was mayor of Garnett; was a
member of the city council at differ
ent times; was county commissioner
and represented. the county in the
legislature. He was all old soldier,
having served in an Ohio regiment.
He was all honorable, upright Cit
zen.
The funeral takes place from the
family residence on Friday after
noon at 2:30 O'clock
