ENDED BIS OWN LIFE.
Daniel Fry Of Grovania, Becomes Despond
ent and Hangs Himself.

Daniel Fry Of .Grovania, took his
own lite on Monday morning. His
body was found dangling from beam
in the straw shed only a short dis
,ance from the house by his daughter
Maize, WHO had missed him, and had
gone to see where he was. Last
spring MIR. Fry was the victim of a
severe case of grippe, from which
be never entirely recovered. For the
past several months he showed signs
of dependency. Frequently he would
say that life extended empty hands to
him. He wanted to die; and to this
end went about coolly and calmly.
He had mounted ladder, walked to
the center Of the beam, fastened the
rope TO the timber, placed it about
his neck and then jumped off, drop
ping distance of about seven feet.
His neck was not broken. Death re-
suited from strangulation.
Guy Jacoby, Justice of the Peace,
was driven to the scene, but as the
fact that he had taken his own life
was SO apparent, an inquest was dis
pensed with.
Mr.. Fry was about sixty-one years
oiage. He is survived by wife,
hVe sons and three daughters. The
funeral will be held today.

r., li,eIess Body Of Amos Gruver Discovered
Along the D. L. & ". Railroad tracks,
ucar Oak Grove, Saturday Morning.

The body of Amos Gruver, cold in
hath was found along the Delaware,
I,ctawanna & Western Railroad,
ns,r Oak Grove, Saturday morning
iast, Early IN the morning he left
,be residence of his son, John Cru
YER on East Third street, with whom
be had been making his home since
,be death of his wife, two years ago,
for the expressed purpose of making
some repairs to line fence on his
nroperty on Park street. he had
reached his objective point, or at
least that was the supposltion, and
had worked little while, and then
feeling unwell, had started home.
When too weak or faint to continue
,be homeward journey, without rest,
he sat down on tie pile, and ex-
pred.
MIR. Gruver was a respectable gen
,leman, and dealt squarely with every
one. He was devout member of
,he Methodist Episcopal Church, and
each and every Sabbath found him at
his place in the Sunday school, as
well as the church service. He was
pretty well on in years. Although we
are not positive as to his age, we are
safe in stating it at sixty-nlne. His
only survivor is the son referred to
above.
Justice of the Peace Guy Jacoby
was summoned to conduct an in
quest, but the cause OF death, in his
opinion, was SO apparently natural,
that he deemed it unnecessary. The
remains were at once removed to the
residence on East Third street, from
which place the funeral took place on
Tuesday, services being conducted by
Rev. W. M. Fryslnger, of the Meth
odist Church.
