Edward S. Bale, of Westminster,
Commits Suicide.

A dispatch to the San, from West
minister, dated June 30th, says: Mr.
Edward S. Bale, one of the best
known young farmers around West
minister, committed suicide yesterday
by shooting. He was found by his
wife seated on the barn floor propped
up in corner by the feed box, his
right hand still holding the pistol with
which he ended his life. The bullet
had entered the head about two inches
back of the right eye and had come
through the skull in about the same
place on the left side of his temple.
Mr.. Bale owned one of the finest and
most comfortable homes near West
minister. He was son of the late
Judge Isaac Bale, and half-brother
of Nathan II. Bale, cashier of the First
National Bank of New Windsor; he
was born in Westminster and was
about thirty six years of age. 1t is
supposed that Mr.. Bales rash act was
brought on by money difficulties that
temporarily unbalanced his mind. Mr..
Bale was of pleasant address and had
a host of friends and was liked and es-
teemed by every one. He married
Miss Clara Hoppe, a daughter of the
late J. Henry Hoppe, who, with four
survives him. His funeral
occurred on Monday last.
