An unbalanced mind, condition
brought about by sickness and wOr-

Carlson. of the town W Elm Dale, to
take his own life Saturday. > :
I The deceased appeared az well a.
usual Saturday morning and went
out after breakfast to do some work

forty acres, and she was not very
long in goina over it. Seeing what
she supposed was his coat hanging
to q limb OF q tree she went to 1t,
and was Mortified to find that 1t was
the lifeless body of her husband. hang
ing by the neck. Hehad climbed the
tree. fastened one end of the rope to
q limb and the other around his

NeighbOrs were summoned and tho
body was cut down and removed to
the house. Coroner Trace was noti-
fed. and he went to the scene OF the

careful investigation of all ctrcum'

that death was caused by his own
hands. In the pocket OF the de.
ceased's coat was found letter
written to his wife. The contents oi
this letter showed that he had been
brooling over health and financial
troubles He stated that he had
contemplated the act, exhonorated
l,is wife from any blam and stated
that he feared starvation and would
escape his troubles by ending his ex-
dstence.
The deceased was abont 40 years
OF age, a.native of Sweden, and has
lived in Elm Dale for about fifteen
years. He was married only a few
years ago, and he and bis vile have
lived alone on the ia. m, having, no
