Suicide,

ouClOe,
The full particulars regarding the
suicide of S. j. Pound, near Gallatn last
week are as follows, taken from tho
Cooperstown Courier:
S.. J. Pound, of Gallatin, an old settler
of this county, blew his brains out Sun
day afternoon by tho aid of double
barreled Parker shot gun. 1t seems
that the deceased had been making his
home for some time with Mr.. and Mrs.
M. II. Hagen and from extracts from his
diary it would seem as if something had
been troubling him. Last Sunday Mr..
Pound received the following card from
Mr.. Hagen, which would indicate that
some kind of partnership existed:
Gallatin, 800, 99.
Mr.. POUND:
wish to inform you that our partner.
ship must come TO an end. You may
move as soon as convenient.
Truly Yours,
M. II. HAGEN.
On receipt of the card the deceased
evidently grew despondent and wrote
the letter given below. He went out of
doors and placed the barrel of the gun
in his mouth and pulled the trigger,
blowing his brains in all directions. The
letter is as follows:
Gallatin, N D., March 20, '98.
Mr.. NJ. H. HAGEN:
IT things were not running to make
things pleasant, why couldn't you talk
plain English. After doing so much to
try to make things pleasant for you and
Mrs. Hagen as have and you take this
underhanded way to tell me to move
out" will make it convenient to move
out soon. Please bury me in tho same
old clothes that I die in, and in the
cheapest coffin you can get a rough
board box would suit me best. Please
don't allow any so called church services
at the funeral, but if the neighbors say
there must be let it be Methodist.
Please send my silver spoons and knives
and forks and the revolver that Mrs.
Bella Mcclellan has got to my niece,
Mrs. j. G. johnson, of Tacoma, Wash.
My brothers address just now is J. S..
Pound, Superior, Ncb. I have tried to
do what was right by my neighbors
which consider is nearer Christianity
than lots of churches show. Since the

DIR. Bergstrom, county coroner, went

necessary. The doctor took charge of
his personal effects, such as money, re-
volver. shotgun, watches, etc, together
with his papers and diary. On Saturday,

following in his diary: II expect this is
