A Sad Tragedy.

m - Sao ss1SSoJs
n Lamar has hardly ever received
such a shock as it did about 5 O'Clock
last Sunday afternoon when the
news was brought to town that Will
AIorich had shot himself and was
lying on the bank of the Black ditch
just north of town. Willing hands
hastened to the spot and brought
him up to the Commercial hotel,
where his wound was examined by
Drs. Hasty and Bedell.
The bullet, which was from Al
calibre revolver, had entered the left
breast near the nipple and was taken
out near the right shoulder. His
case was hopeless and he died about
10 o'clock the following morning.
He retained consciousness till near
the last and stated to the doctors
that he had accidentally shot him
self The only eye-witnesses were
two men in an adjoining field, who
heard the shot and saw him fall.
On Monday morning he made his
will, dividing his effects among the
different members of his family.
He carried life insurance policy
for $500 in the Pacific Mutual, in
favor of his mother.
The deceased was one OF the best
known aud most esteemed young
men in Prowers county. Although
only 10 years of age he had for a
number of years been the trusted
clerk in W. J. Johnston's dry goods
store, and was always efficient,
obligng and popular. He came to
Lamar mere boy and grew up
here, winning, through his genial
ways and good habits, the respect
and friendship of every citizen of
the town.
The funeral services were held at
the NJ. L. church on Tuesday after
noon and were conducted by Rev.
Clinton Riddle. The body was
taken to the north side cemetery for
burial. The procession was a large
one and was led by the Lamar
Bicycle club, of which he was a
member,
This is the saddest and most trag-
ical accident that has ever occurred
in Lamar and creates universal sor-
row that SO promising young man
should be cut down in early man
hood.
