He wanted 10 Die,

= w.
Burlington. June 15--Yesterday one
of the trustees of Franklin township
telephoned from Sperry to the county
auditor that an old man had been found
starving and nearly dead in the woods
near Latty in Benton township the
night before; that temporary relief had
been given him, and asking for further
Instructions. The answer was to get {
wagon and take the man to the poor
farm. whence he probably had wan
dered, and If he did not belong there
he could at least be cared for there
till something further was learned of
him.
Wednesday night as Henry Gravy,
living near Latty, was walking along
the Ridge road, he noticed in the tim
Der beside the road and near place
known locally as Gold Spring. the
body of a man. Investigation showed
it was very old and feeble man and
that he was in extremity from expos
sure and lack OF food. Gravy and two
men OF the neighborhood whom he noti-
fled, John Latty and Frank Elder
made the old man comfortable for the
night and would have removed him tc
one of their homes had he not earnest
tly resisted such Intentions. He said he
had been wandering for nine days
without food. and implored the kind
hearted men to leave him alone to die
where they had found him.

SUICIDE NEAR IOWA CITY.
Frank Yenn While Temporarily In
sane Walks Into Woods and shoots

- r. ri
Iowa City, June 15.-Frank Yenn, a
young man about 80 years Of age. who
resides two and half miles southwest
OF Hill Siding, shot himself In the head
early Sunday morning as the result OF
imaginary financial troubles The deed
was committed In thick wood about
one mile from the house where he re-
sides with his father and two brothers.
Yenn had been the victim of a slight
mental Encouragement for sonR time and
while the case was not serious he was
sent to the asylum at Mount Pleasant
about two years ago. After short
stay there he left the Institution.
i He worked on the farm and showed
absolutely as signs of his previous
mental troubles. He was considered
cured and appeared at all times to be
thoroughly consistent in his actions. 1t
is supposed that the act which led to
the deed took place few days ago He
had been asked to pay a supposed debt.
which seems to have worried him and
caused a return of his mental trouble.
Yenn was naked. apparently having
taken OFF his clothes before committing
the deed The body was lying on the
side with the head propped by his fore
arm and hand. The bullet entered the
forehead Just above the right eye and
evidently caused instant death. He
had evidently sat down, deliberately
placed the muxze oftsle gun to his
forehead and pulled the trigger with his
thumb.
II was an extremely unfortunate oc-
currence, - Yenn was, we'll liked by his
neighbors and was an Industrious hand
on the farm. In spite Of his previous
mental troubles he had apparently be-
come cured and showed absolutely no
signs Of his trouble The funeral will
B take place on Sunday afternoon.
