Peter Thiel, residing on farm
south of Blue Grass suicided Thurs
day by hanging himself with piece
of clothes line in the barn upon his
farm. His lifeless body was found
at 1915 o'clock in the afternoon. He
had carefully tied the end of the rope
TO rafter and allowed of sufficient
space so that his feet would not
touch the ground. Coroner Lam
bach was notified and ordered JUS
tice of the Peace Miller, of Buffalo,
To hold the inquest. The deceased
was 10 years of age and became mel
ancholy of late because his wells ran
dry and he had no water upon the
farm for his cattle. For some time
he has been obliged tn hire water
hauled To his place and this method
greatly worried him on account of
the expense. This fact is supposed
To have been the cause of his self de

choly. Mr.. Thiel leaves wife. three
sons and one daughter. The funeral
was held this afternoon, with inter
ment at Blue Gras cemetery.
