TEMPORARILY INSANE.
Leominster Young Man
Takes His Life By
Hanging.

Leominster, July S.-People were
shocked this morning to hear that Fred
H. Killam, son of A. w. Killam, had
committed suicide at the residence of
his father on Paramount street early
this morning.
The young man retired as usual Fri
day night, and responded to the call of
his father at $50 o'clock this morning.
1t was noticed, however, that he did not
put in an appearance at the breakfast
table as usual, and his father went to
the sons room, only to find him hang
ing lifeless from q door leading into the
room. The body was warm, but the vital
spark Of life had fed. Temporary in
sanity is supposed to have been the
cause.
The young man was born in Orange in
September, 1876, and has lived in Leom-
inster for Is years, where he has made a
host of friends. He was q graduate Of
the local high school and was the first
captain of the school cadets, a position
that he filled with honor and satisfac-
ton to all concerned. He also took
course in the Bryant & Stratton bust
ness college, graduating from that in
stitution in 1894.
Since that time he has been in the
office of Merriam az Hall, and worked as
usual yesterday. He has recently taken
treatment at Adams Nervine sanitar-
ium at Jamaica Plains, and was thought
to be cured. The fact that the wife of
Mr.. Killam was recently removed to a
private institution a short time since,
renders the case very sympathetic
one.

Peculiar MnrrIage Ceremony.

peculiar marriage, rites of any country.
In the former n COW ana u calf are in
varlably required ut the marriage. The
animals are driven into Il narrow, run

ed couple also standing in the water.
The man and woman each catch hold
OF the cows tail and the priest pours wa
ter out of glass vessel upon their joined
hands, while Rll present mutter certain
prayers. The young folks are then de-
clared TO be man and wife and the priest
claims the COW and calf as his fee. In
the island of Banquey the officiating
priest takes sharp knife and with it
makes small incision in the right leg
of the bride and bridegroom; from each
incision he gathers few drops OF blood
and transfers them to the other ones leg.
This operation, together with short re-
ligious formula, constitutes the whole OF
