near Summit Point, this county, by
hanging Mrs. Whiting had for several
years at intervals shown symptoms
that her mind was unbalanced, but
lately had been apparently much bet

usually bright and well. She slept in
the room with her daughter, who, upon
awakening at an early hour Saturday
morning, discovered that her mother
had left the house. Search was at
once made for her, and in a short time
she was found by her son in the meat
house, hanging by rope halter from
beam. She had procured the halter
from the stable and, making running
moose, had put it around her neck.
She had been dead but short time
when found, but all efforts to revive
her were unavailing.
Mrs. Whiting was Miss Minnie

county. She was fifty years of age,
and leaves a husband and eight chill
