A PARTING MESSAGE.

Leaves . Note to Dear Ones but Makes
no Explanation.
Bastian left parting message to
his wife and child. 1t was written
with lead pencil on the leaves of a
small diary which he always carried
and which he had left on the dresser
in his sleeping room. Near the bot
tom Of the last page on which the
note was written was a blot as il
made by a drop of water, and to this
the writer alludes as if it was a tear,
his note in full being as follows:
81 am innocent of Fred Kusch-
mann. May God help you all is my
prayer. 1t is too much for me to
stand. Pay mother the rest of the
rent and pay all debts. and Carrie
shall have the rest of the interest in
the farm after mother dies. Be sure
that Carrie gets the money. Good.

looked as IL the depression had been
down somewhat by Bastian
before attaching the rope to his neck
in order to make certain his destruc-
tion by avoiding any danger of his
feet touching the floor. It was SUBJ

The terrible deed was discovered
BY Miss Carrie Bastian, sister of the

door of the granary, she went to the

who had gone to work for Mr.. Bas-

hitching up the team preparatory to
going to the field for his days work.
The young man rushed to the house
and seized q knife to cut the rope by
which his employer was suspended

covered that dissolution had takeI
