Our quiet village was startled Sept.
24th when Justice ID. A. Swain was
hastily summoned to hold an inquest
over the remains Of Walter S. Phillips,
who had committed suicide by cutting
his throat with butcher knife. Mr..
Phillips has been in poor health and
for the past few weeks has been worse
than usual and it is supposed that he
committed the act while in deranged
condition OF mind. Mrs. Phillips went
to the barn to assist the hired man to
put up some wheat he was about to SOW
and when she came into the house
found that Mr.. Phillips was not lying
on the lounge where he usually did,
and where he was when she went out;
and after calling him several times
and getting no response sought for him
through the house, at last finding him
in small closet with his throat cut
and unconscious. Some of the neigh
bors that were passing were called in
and others sent for, but all that could
be done was to prepare the body for
burial and comfort the bereaved wife
and quiet her nervous system which
had received such a severe shock.
