Charlottesville. Ind, July 15.-JaA
Milton Sellar, lawyer of prominence
and ability, and one of the leading
Democratic politicians of western In
diana, committed suicide in his office
Saturday morning. He took large
dose of morphine and when the jani-
tor opened the office at O'clock he
was found i'll n dying condition, the
end coming few minutes later.
He was undoubtedly goaded to self
destruction by his inability to resist
his appetite for gaming, and by the
fact that the widow of his late law
partner had sued him for an account
ing. His financial affairs were in n
bad shape. and he considered his life
failure. He had served as circuit
judge and was for two terms n state
senator. When he retired from the
legislature in 1896 he became a candi-

He gave no intimate of his pur-
pose to take his life to any one. and
Friday night played chess until m d.
night with a friend. He then went
directly TO his office, and, having taken
the poison. sat down to write a letter
TO the public. The poison evidently
acted more quickly than expected, for

the way, was Cole Younger.

home as fast as possible, where L told

Younger brothers were attracting the
