DIES BY HIS
own HAND.
MAJOR campbell. COMMITTED
SUICIDE.
Shot Himself with a Shot Gun.

The community was shocked
Saturday night by the word
brought to town that Major
John l.. Campbell had killed
himself Mt his guleh homeN nine
miles southwest of Miller.
The Major was n well known
character in Hand county. He
was a we'll educated man, agree
able in disposition, somewhat
cratic, and too fond of liquor.
HIS age was near 65 years. He
came originally from Kentucky,
and often boosted that he was a
Kentucky gentleman, which he
was, and related To prominent
people in that state. He was,
however, q soldier in the Union
army during the civil war.
Major Campbell was perhaps
NJ well known az any man in
private life in the county. He
had a beautiful timbered home
in the gulch which bears his
name, where county people often
visited for pcnics. The cause of
his death Is Of course conjecture.
He was high strung mentally,
became happy or depressed east
~, and it Is supposed that DUR
ing one of his periods of depres.
sion he took his own life
CoRoNEs's INQUEST.
Coroner Sweetland summoned
a jury on Saturday and held an
inquest at the home. The EVIL
dence obtained shows that Mrs.
Campbell, his wife, had been to
Miller Saturday afternoon; that
upon her return home she found
the doors of her house locked
and curtains pulled down. She
broke open "a door and found her
husband lying dead on the floor
in a pool OF blood. He had cnt
himself with n razor, and then
shot himself through the heart.
The razor aud shot gun were
both lying on the. floor nearhim,
the gun with one barrel empty.
The following note was left to
his wife:

to protect yourself. 1t is easier to pre-

June II, 1902, for the purpose of nomi-
mating Il candidate for Governor to be

Each city, town and plantation will

date for Governor in 1900, an additional
delegate, and for fraction of 40 votes
in excess Of 70 votes a further addi-
tiOnal delegate
That there may be no misunderstood
ing, the secretary of the committee has
made n classification of delegates based
upon this representation. The town or
plantation which threw "A votes is, I'M
der this call, only entitled to one dele

Men will work hard when pleasant hope lights
