Startling news awaited our people
when they went about their work this
morning was the report of the sui
eide of Bernard Waibel, workman in
the local railroad yards From Coroner
Rothenburg who arrived from Spring
field on the 7 o'clock train we learn the
following particulars: Some days ago
Walbel was vaccinated. He became quite
SICK thereafter and at the time the sui
eide occurred he was confined to his b I'd.
At O'Clock this morning his wife left
the room for few moments. Waibel
had evidently been awaiting this oppor-
tunity, for from all appearances he arose
IN the bed and with revolver in his left
hand, the swollen one, he fired the bullet
into his left temple. Terrible hemorrhage
ensued. and his wife was so frightened
that she rushed at once to the. neighbors
and summed a surgeon. When D. Fritsche
arrived at o'clock life was still present
in the body but fast ebbiug away.
Waibel was young man and the aw-
full event is all the more peculiar on that
account. Hard luck in money matters
undoubtedly had more than anything
else to do with his rash act and it is on
ly one of the sad stories that are now so
frequent. He leaves a young widow and
small children to mourn for the fatal
misfortune.
