The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-07-17

Northwestern Telephone company for
several years, formerly working for the
company in Texas. Two years ago he
came to Minneapolis and last February
was appointed assistant cashier Of the
construction department.
Five or six years ago he married Miss
Clark, of Hillsboro, Texas, and it Is said
to be recent trouble with his wife that
drove him to suicide. When he came to
Minneapolis two years ago, Mrs. Hinnant
and her boy, then two years of age, went
to Hillsboro to visit her parents before
coming to Minneapolis to her home. A
few months later Hinnant wrote to MS
wife telling her that everything was IN
readiness for her here and asking her to
come to Minneapolis at once. This she
refused to do and notwithstanding repeat
ed requests from the husband she still
declined.
All Of Hinnant's effects were turned
over to A c. Whidden, treasurer OF the
Northwestern Telephone company, on the
order of Coroner Nelson. Mr.. Whidden
has telegraphed to Hillsboro, Texas, TO
the parents of Mrs. Hinnant, asking as
to the disposition Of the body Until a
reply is received nothing will be done.
The officers Of the telephone company
speak very highly of Mr.. Htnnant, al
though they say that during the past two
weeks he has been acting in very
strange meNner. They do not believe that
he is short in his accounts, but will know
nothing in regard to this until they go
over the books today.

perfectly fresh, a very ingenious me-
chanism, the invention of a Roumanian
spiration by mechanical pressure applied
by pads placed round the body and kept
working by an electromotor and, lastly,
a patent bed to hang up between trees,
which its inventor, a Transylvanian, de-
clares to be an iDfallible cure for insom-
MIA and also for throat diseases. 1t is SUI
perior to a hammock because it can also
be used as a boat, in which case the
waterproof cover is fastened over the low
er part of the frame, while other parts of
the frame are screwed together to make a
paddle. This inventor says that he has
travelled considerable distances by river in
one of these contrivances.
