A FARMERS SUICIDE.
The Terrible Deed of Theodore Cox
of Elk Grove.
Dependency and Grief Cause Him to
Take His Own Life-How it
Was Done.

A shocking case of suicide occurred
about three miles from Elk Grove yester-
day, the victim being Theodore Cox,
weil-known farmer, who had resided in
that locality for twenty years or more.
Deceased had been Woodworking, in
dustrious man, but had suffered financial
reverses, which made him despondent of
late years. \ year or two ago his daugh-
ter died, and this bereavement only
added to his unhappiness.
For some time past Cox had mani
tested symptoms of mental arrangement,
and his family feared that he premedi-
tated violence to himself Consequently
they took the precaution to remove his
shotgun and managed to keep good
watch on his movements.
Latterly, however, he became less ner-
vous, and believing that all danger was
past the family relaxed their vigilance
over him.
Yesterday forenoon Mr.. Cox drove out
into vineyard where his son was at
work, whence he returned to the barn,
having the gun in his possession. Shortly
afterward the family were startled by
hearing the report Of the gun, and on
visiting the barn terrible sight met
their gaze.
Cox was lying on the ground with a
trighttul wound in his breast, where the
entire contents of one barrel of the
weapon had lodged. He was still breath
ing, however, and Mrs. Cox summoned
neighbor and dispatched him to Elk
Grove for surgeon. DR.. Mckee re-
sponded, but the unfortunate man had
died few minutes after being shot.
1t was a clear case of suicide. The vic
tim had carried out his plan for self
destruction with the careful premedita-
ton of one who proposed to make a sue
cess of it.
He had laid the gun on a workbench,
with the butt against a box. Then he
tore open his clothing and placed the
muzzle of the weapon against his left
breast, holding it there with one hand,
while with the other he worked the trig-
ger by means of pushing against it with
the ramrod.
Coroner Clark was notified of the oc-
currence and fastened to the Cox ranch,
where jury of the neighbors was Sc
cured and an inquest held. The verdict
was that deceased came to his death from
gunshot wound inflicted by himself
with suicidal intent.
Deceased was native of Chicago and
aged 80 years. He had been married for
twenty-one years, his wife being a daugh-
ter of the late Martin Dart, for many
years Justice of the Peace at Elk Grove.
He leaves also two grown-up sons.
Mr. Cox was man greatly respected
by all his neighbors. He was sober,
| upright and industrious citizen, and his
unfortunate death is deeply deplored by
! all that knew him. He was always man
of strong mind and even temper, but
grief over the loss of his loved daughter
and other troubles were too much for
him,

CAR VS.. BUGGY.
An Accident Yesterday That Cam
Near Being Fatal.

An Accident Yesterday That Came
Near Being Fatal.
Another accident occurred on one of
the street railroads yesterday that might
have resulted fatally. H. C. Renwick at
tempted to cross K street in a buggy. ac-
companied by his wife and child, in front
of passing car, when the buggy was
struck by the car.
The vehicle was badly used up and its
occupants thrown to the ground. AL
though an elderly man he chung to the
lines and prevented the horse from run
ming away until bystandeIs came to his
relief. He was considerably bruised. but
not seriously hurt.
Although persons who show such de-
termination in crossing streets in front of
electric cars are generally to blame for
accidents of this kind, still it would be
well for the motorman on the cars to take
every precaution to avoid accidents, no
matter who is at fault. The Central Rail
way Company has good men in its en-
ploy, and has been very fortunate thus
lar in avoiding serious accidents. but
men engaged in operating the cars can
not be too careful. For the sake of max
ing schedule time they should take nc
chances whatever.

Breeding Habits OF TURKEYS.

turkey ranch of A. Ferguson at Liver
pool. The first object that appeared
strange was an old gobbler strutting
about alone. There were no hen tur.
keys in sight, and the visitor inquired
about them. Mr.. Ferguson replied that
he had lots OF females. but they were
away sitting. ''Let us go and see them, ="
suggested the reporter. ''By all means, !"
replied Mr.. Ferguson, ''if you will show
me where they are." "Do you mean to
say you don't know where the turkeys
are sitting?" asked the visitor in
astonishment. 81 know they are some
where in the back part of the swamp"
replied Mr.. Ferguson, "but wouldn't
be able to raise bird if / visited their

plain that the idea that young turkeys
shouid never get wet wasau "bunkum. "
