SUICIDE AT ROCKVILLE.
John Dunstone shoots Himself.

Last Monday morning the people of
Rockville were startled on hearing
that Mr.. John Dunstone had taken his
own life. Mr.. Dunstone lived just
outside of the village of Rockville.
He was a widower and had lived alone
for about forty years. On Monday
abont 9 O'Clock a. m. a boy of DR..
Rosenthal's, about ten wears of age,
went to Mr.. Dunstone's on an errand.
He found the outside door open with
a screen door closed. Entering the
the house he found Mr.. Dunstone sit
ting in a chair. The bov spoke to
him two or three times but getting
no reply went home and reported the
fact. DR.. Rosenihal immediately re-
turned to D~unstone's and found the
old gentleman head. A rifle ball had
entered about the center of his fore
head and had passed entirely through
the head on n level with the point of
entrance. The rifle was still in al
most the exact position it must have
been when it was discharged. Mr..
Dunstone had apparently been sitting
in the chair in which he was found,
with the rifle between his knees
when killed. The butt of the gun
was on the floor and from the posi-
ton of the ramrod is thought that he
used that to touch the trigger. Death
must have been almost instantaneous
and without a struggle. 1t is thought
the shooting occurred sometime sun
day evening.
An inquest was immediately held
in charge of Justice Clement Thomas
of Potosi. The finding of the jury
was in accord with the facts above re-
lated. Funeral services were held
Tuesday at 1850 p. m from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Grace Pedlar in British
Hollow, niece of the deceased, Rev.
Nobis officiating.
Thos. Dunstone was born in Eng
land. His wife and daughter, an only
child, have both been dead many
years. There are living two sisters
in England, one brother in California
and Mrs. Webb in Lancaster, mother
of VIM. E., and John Webb and Mrs.
Pedlar of British Hollow. He was 73
years of age.
The cause of the suicide was a
cancer of the lip and the lower part
of the face which had been distressing
Mr.. Dunstone for five or six years.
Two or three years ago DR.. Barber re-
moved two from the lower lip but
neither operation was successful.
Later treatment was had in Chicago
and a cure was supposed to be effect
ed but in a little while the malady
as painful as ever and has been
growing ever since. The suicide was
undoubtedly to relieve suffering and
hasten the death that could not be
avoided.

New High school nuilding for Platteville

At the school meeting in Platteville
last Monday evening W. +. Jennings
was reelected director, the usual rou-
tine business was transacted and
about $500 appropriated for regular
expenses, salaries, fuel. etc.
Then the old question OF a High
school building came up. Platteville
has been wrestling with this question
for several years. Her citizens have
been almost a unit in desiring a new
High school building but could not
agree on a site.
Last Monday night the citizens vot-
ed to bond the city in the sum Of
$4,000 for a High school building.
The old controversy of site is in a
measure avoided by leaving all de-
tails in the hands OF the school Off
GERS. The board must select and
purchase a site. and design and erect
a suitable building.
We understand that the bonds run
for ten years and will bear six per
cen interest. 1t is expected that
they will sell for considerably over
face value.
P~latteville has endured lamentably
meager High school facilities aver
since the organization OF that depart
ment and is to be congratulated on
getting out of the rut that has so long
retarded the progress Of a proper
High school sentiment.
