Boy Commits Suicide.

Charles Austin, bright 14-year- old
youth, living on farm near Burlington,
committed suicide on Thursday, in the
carriage house on the farm Charles lived
with his mother and brothers and sisters
on the farm and they have run the place
among them since the death Of the father
some three years ago Thursday morning
he went to the barn with the ostensible
purpose of hitching up team of horses.
He had harnessed one horse, when the de-
sire to take his life appeared to have
seized him.
He went to the carriage house and into
the second story, where he took hickory
stick, and wrapping pair of rope lines
around it, dropped the rope through a
trap in the floor Going below he stood
on truck basket, and adjusting the moose
around his neck, kicked the basket from
under him, in which position he was
found by his mother some hours after
wards. There is no accounting for the
rash act, aside from the fact that some
time ago a stranger hung himself from a
cedar tree near the house of the Austins
and young Charles was one of the first to
discover the corpse 1t is supposed that
this unbalanced his mental faculties
