| Benton Harbor, Michigan He hal a good
| horse and wagon and Immediately took out
| drayage license He seemed despondent at
times aud Sunday afternoon his mehlneholy
| and strange actions eliminated in TAI ing MS
| own life. Early in the afternoon he posted a
| letter in a mail box and later wanted IL eX-
| tracted from the box. which was an utter i'm
| possibility. He finally succeeded in Burning
| the letter with considerable other mail be
| fore the box was opened. soon after the
episode, he won't TO the lot where his horse
was kept and taking revolver shot him sell

| About 8 O'clock a few nights ago, two
masked men entered the residence Of j. r.
| Taylor, an old man who resides twenty miles
| south of Chipley, and with revolvers in hand,
| demanded that Mrs. Taylor open trunk
| which they supposed contained old man
Taylor's money. The trunk was promptly I'M
locked by Mrs. Taylor, and searched by one
| Of the robbers, while the other stood guard
over the helpless and frightened family. No
| money being found in the trunk, they babe
the family adieu, and quietly made their de
parture. 1t is generally believed by his
neghbors that Taylor has a good deal of
money in his possession: some think he has
several Thousand dollars. Luckily for the old
man, who is 50 or 80 years old. and who has
been paralyZed and entirely helpless for more
than year, his wife had, only few days be
fore removed what money they have from the
| trunk, which was searched, to an old wooden
chest in the same room, which was unob-

made to apprehend the robbers.
