SUICIDE AT GRAY'S LAKE.
Hugh n Neville Well Known Business
Man Takes his own Life Thursday.

Man Takes his own Life Thursday.
Grays1ake was startled at an early
hour Thursday by the news that Hugh
H. Neville, prominent citizen of the
village, had suicided at his home. The
rumor was with difficulty credited, but
it was true.
At 6:15 O'Clock Mrs. Neville, wife of
the dead man, thought she heard
noise as of the discharge of a weapon
and a moment later she smel1ed smoke
which seemed to come from the cellar
of the house. Upon investigation she
found her husband we1tering in his
life's blood, the top of his head having
been blown off with a shot gun. The
startled wife alarmed the neighbors
and the news spread like wildfre.
Hugh Neville was member of the
firm of Neville Brothers, being in COM
pany with his brother, E. B. Neville,
who, in the early history of the vii
lage. started the Grays1ake creamery,
in which business they were particu-
larry successful. He was man we'll
known and we'll liked, and was in cir
cumstances which would preclude the
thought of such a rash act save on the
hypothesis that he was not in his
right mind.
Evidence at the inquest held as soon
after the shooting as the coroner could
reach the sorrowfu1 scene, showed that
Mr.. Neville chad been in poor health
for some time, and the supposition is
that this weighed upon him to the ex-
tent of mental arrangement.
The deceased's former home was at
Clinton, Wis. He came to Grays1ake
about twelve years ago, just prior to
his locating here being united in mar
rage to Miss Barker, of Wanconda.
The wife and two children, Ray, aged
fifteen and a daughter little over a
year old, survive him.

Years Gift From Justice Watkins.
James Howard, farm hand employ
ed in the town of Bristol, got unique
New Years present in the way of a
sentence to spend four months in the

day he went to the house to collect a
bill alleged to be due him for services.
The money was not forthcoming and
Howard got mad and threatened to
split Mrs. Stonebraker's head open
with an axe. This was the first indis-
cret1on of the new year for Howard,
ont short time later he was arrested
and hurried before Justice Watkins,

bond of four hundred dollars. Howard
was not able to furnish the bond, and
was committed to the county Jail for a
period of four months. The arrest of

ment in the town of Bristol.

SHOOTS ALONG LIKE
CREASED LIGHTNING
Wonderful New Invention of a
Richmond Man.

From Richmond to San Francisco in
twelve hours Is what is claimed for an
automatic car just perfected by a Rich
mond man. More than this. there is
practically no limit to the speed which
this new car, designed only for mail
carrying purposes, can attain. only it
will destroy itself by fire If not curbed
It can run 400 miles as easily as it can
ESQ.
The name of this inventor is Edward
J.. Kelley. He owns a small machine
shop at the corner OF Tenth and Cary
Streets. where he has perfected this
wonderful machine. In order to prove
that he is absolutely correct in his
claims he will exhibit the machine some
time during the Horse Show on a spe-
ctally constructed track near the Horse
Show building. There he will run the
est possible speed within so circunl-
scribed position, and then the in
vention will be offered to the United
States Government.
This new machine is so fast in its fight
that it will be of no use for anything
save mail-carrying purposes It is so
fast that no human being or any other
kind of animal could stay with it to reGu-}
late it's flight. therefore it has been ne
cessary to overcome this difficulty by.
making it an automatic affair. which
will stop OF its own accord. and to be
started needs only the services of a man
to touch a button. The motive power
will be electricity, the stopping power
is magnet of tremendous power.

COURAGE OF SAM DAVIS
The Post Pays Eloquent Tribute to the
Gallant Youth.

The Post Pays Eloquent Tribute to the
Gallant Youth.
IN the washington Post OF yesterday
there appeared the following story. which
is Of particular interest In view OF the
fact that bust OF Sam Davis has just
been presented to the Confederate
Museum in this city:
General Granville n. Dodge, of Iowa.
who is at the Arlington, not long ago
sent check for SEQ in aid of sub
Confederate soldier. Tennesseean.
named Samuel Davis. The monument
is to be built at Nashville. Tenn. and
commemorate a deed of such true hero
ism as the world never falls to applaud,
says to-day's Washington Post
Why it should appeal to General
Dodge who was on the Union side OF
the quarrel, to the extent OF a generous
contribution makes q pretty story. II
appears that Davis, who was scout In
the service OF General Braxton Bragg,
by some clever work Of disguise, coupled
with nerve. managed to get from + ed
eral soldier q lot OF information as to
the strength Of the Union forces posted
around Pulaski, Tenn. at which point
General Dodge was in command.
Davis had the ill-1uck to be captured.
ana on his person were found papers
that revealed the information he had
cleaned, and which he Intended to con
vey to the Confederate general The
capture was one OF great Importance.
>Tne young scout was imprisoned and all
sorts of persuasion and threats were en-
pIoyed to get him to reveal the name Of
his informant He was assured that no
harm would come to him II he disclosed
it, but that death, should he persist in
refusing to tell. would surely be his pun
1snment.
You may hang me ten thousand
tines said The youth, ''but you can
never make me disclose the identity Of
the man who gave me the informal ton"
He was hanged as a spy, though his
superb courage made a deep impression
on his captors, and those who carried
out the stern sentence we're grieved at
his fate.
