Citizens.

Special to the Register.

himself He was suffering from COM
plete nervous prosIration, resulting
from overwork and business cares.
During the past week he returned from

health, but was not benefited. There
was nothing in his behavior to indicate
that he contemplated killing himself.
His business habits were as regular
and methodical as usual and his man
ner was unchanged. After dining with
his family, he went to the office con-
nected with his warehouse, accom-
panied by his clerk, Edward Sigler.
He talked composedly to Mr.. Sigler,
who shortly left the room. Mr.. Sigler
had been gone scarcely a minute
when he heard pistol shot, and, going
back, found Mr.. Bishop lying uncon-
scious on the floor with a terrible
wound back of the right ear. He never
regained consciousness and death was
almost instantaneous. The revolver
with which be committed the deed was
found a few feet from him.
The news of the sad occurrence
spread rapidly and was great shock
to the entire community. Mr.. Bishop
was a prosperous business man and
was held in high esteem. In addition
to conducting an extensive wholesale
business, operating a large mill and at
tending to his duties as president Of
the Merchants and Farmers Bank, he
took an active interest in the industrial
development of the town and was
closely identified with all the local en-
terprises He was about IS years old
and was native Of KingwoOd, Preston
county. A widow and three children
survive him.
