BLOWS HIS BRAINS OUT
Horrible Suicide Takes Place in
Langdon This Morning.
DIES TO END HIS TROUBLES.

Mark Edholm, Despondent Farmer and
Thresher, Ends His'Life of Trouble by
the Revolver Route in the Erickson Barn
on Second Street While Langdon citi-
zens Were Eating Breakfast This Morn
ing-Ieavss Young Wife.
This morning between seven and eight
o'clock Mark Edholm killed himself by
sending the bullet from a revolver
through his brain. The scene of the
tragedy was the barn of c. F. Erickson,
at the rear of the Leader Implement
Co.'S, warehouse. The body was found
lying in a bin of barley by the engineer
and fireman of the threshing outfit that
Edholm had bought this fall. 1t was at
breakfast time that they began to look
for him. Noone heard the shot, but the
body was quite warm when found, show
the man had suicided only short time
previous to the discovery.
Last evening Edholm and his engineer
drove into town from the farm in Cor
don township for the purpose, it is
understood, of arranging to pay the
wages of his crew, who had given him a
good deal of cause for worry the past few
days. The engineer states that Ed
holm was morose and queer actingin his
behavior all the way coming into town.
When they started he noticed Edholm
waving his hand in goodby to his wife
who watched them depart from win
dow. He appeared deeply affected and
and acted once or twice as though he
wanted to turn back, but said nothing
to his companion.
On reaching town Edholm arranged
for the selling of some grain to pay what
he owed the men, after which they turn
in for the night to sleep in the hay loft
over the Erickson barn, the hotels in
town all being full and not able to find
a bed anywhere. According to the state
ment of the man who slept with him
Edholm made NO trouble or disturbance
during the night and was up when he
awoke this morning.
The deceased is middle aged man,
probably about thirty-five or forty years
old. His home is in Gordon township,
the farm being the homestead of his
wife. The home life of the couple had
been happy one and the only cause for
suicide is evidently the depressing effect
he felt of not being able to pay what he
owed the men who we're working for him.
He was sickly, and ill health no doubt
aided and abetted his contemplating
the rash act. In town here he was
known as a honest and hard working
man.
As we go to press an inquest is being
held, the facts brought out generally
confirming the story as narrated above.

SAD HUNTING ACCIDENT
A Harvest Hand Shot Dead While
Hunting Monday Forenoon.
HE DIED INSTANTLY.

s. E. Green, Thresher on the Wild Farm
Receives the Charge From Shot Gun in
the Hands Of Frank Wild, Who Fell
The Discharge Of the Gun Scatters the
Mans Brains Over the Prairie.
Monday forenoon about half past ten
a fatal hunting accident occurred on
the farm of Peter Wild, south of Osna-
brock, resulting in the death of S. E.
Green, a thresher working on the Wild
farm, who came here frsm Winnebago,
MINI, this fall.
The man Green was accidentally shot
in the back of the head by the discharge
of gun carried by Mr.. Wlld's eldest
son, Frank, who in watching the fight
Of covey of chickens lost his footing,
stumbling into a badger hole. When he
fell the gun went off. The charge
struck Green, who was only ten feet in
front of young Wild behind the left
ear shattering the entire back of the
head and scattering his brains around
where he fell. Death was instantaneous.
A neighbor, by the name of Ward, was
with the party, driving the team and
from distance heard the cry Of Frank
Wild for help, but was looking off in
another direction when it happened.
DR.. Gibson, the county coroner and
States Attorney Price went out Monday,
afternoon at the summons Of Mr.. Wild
and investigated the facts of the sad
happening, subsequently holding an in
quest. The scene of the accident was
visited, testimony of Wild and Ward,
who were along with the deceased taken
and an examination made Of the body.
Everything showed that the shooting
was purely accidental and no blame is
in anyway attac he'd to Frank Wild, in
whose hands the gun was when dis
charged. Since the terrible result has
been thoroughly realized young Wild
has been almost crazed with grief over
the affair.
It is only about,a year ago that an
older son Of Mr.. Wild's was killed in an
accident willis operating tho engine of

ample force of we'll qualified teachers
two important factors to successful
year of results. The buildings and
grounds have been given complete
overhauling during the vacation of the
past three months and with the opening
of the doors this week pupils and teach
ers alike step into nice clean school
rooms with good equipment and may
be expected to accomplish much. The
board of education has by earnest effort
placed Langdon's schools upon splen-

one which receives the undivided and
hearty support of the citizens.

GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.

His laggard feet he drags along;
He heaves a heavy sigh.
The fields to him, seemed ne'er SO green,
Or half SO blue the sky.
The bird songs never half to sweet,
The forest shades so cool.
Alas! What wonder lag his feet
He's going back to school.
The books and slate he bears with him
Seem such heavy load.
Yet back there in vacation time
He bore along the road
His pole and tackle. basket, lunch.
Up where the brook was cool
Nor ever once was tired but now
He's going back to school.
Sweep up in his rebellious heart
The floods of boyish wrath,
Right viciously he kicks the dust
Up from the we'll trod path,
Behind him lie delightsomc days,
Before him is the rule
OF three-oh, heavy, heavy heart
He's taking back to school.
How swiftly slipped the summer By,
The months were only days
When happiness was sought and found
In half u hundred ways.
How sped the hours-upon the hills,
In field, in forest cool,
Till all of them had flown; and now,
He's going back to school.
Cheer up, cheer up, my little friend,
The school days, too, will fly.
If to the books and slate we lend
The heart aud ear and eye.
The summer days will come again
And forest, field and pool
Extend a gladder welcome then
When we come back from school.

MISSING AGENTS
SHORTAGE KNOWN
Express Company Has Con.

tion of Snyder's
Accounts.

V. G. Criswell, route agent Of the
Pacific express company has COM
pleted his investigation and balanc-
ing of the books at the Navarro sta
ton formerly in charge of l.. d. Sny-
der. the agent who has disappeared.
In discussing the matter with a
News-Democrat reporter. Mr.. Girls
we'll said that there is shortage, but
lust how much it Is he refused to say.
He said that as the express company
is fully protected by Snyder's bond,
they will make no effort to trace him
and secure his arrest.
Mr.. Criswell had high opinion OF
Snyder's qualifications as a. railroad
man and declared his loss will be Of
more importance to the railroad CON-
pany than the loss of the money. He
said that, in his opinion, Snyder had
not taken the money at the time of
his departure, but had been drifting
behind from day to day and had fin
ally given up hope Of ever making up
his shortage and had fled to escape
the consequences of his imprudence.
If Snyder had wished to take all OF
the money in his care when he left,
he could have done so without trou-
BILE and 1t would appear that he had
left the money behind to show that
he had been forced to leave after get
ting behind with his accounts,
Snyder has disappeared as COM

he will ever be apprehended is mat

FALLING ICE A
MENACE TO SAFETY
OF PEDESTRIANS
Death Of Horse Resulted
From Accident
Tuesday.
MAYOR WARNS PROPERTY OWNERS.

A huge block of ice, falling from
the building occupied by Lung C
Weidler. leather dealers, at Piedmont
and Fifth streets, Tuesday morning
was responsible for the death of a
valuable horse belonging to Monroe
Whitmer, residing several miles south
of the city.
The ice, which was in block
weighing about 300 pounds, formed
on the side of the building and with
the thaw Tuesday morning came
down with awful force. The horse
was hitched to post in the path Of
the falling ice. Its leg was broken
by the force OF the collision making
1t necessary to shoot the animal. An
other horse in the team escaped un-
injured
The crash of the falling ice attract
ed the attention of people several
blocks away. Fortunately no persons
were passing at the time of the acci-
dent
There have been many narrow es-
capes from falling ice. which forms
on the roofs and sides of buildings,
but there is no city ordinance which
provides for the removal of such ice
to insure the safety of pedestrians.
Since the recent cold snap and the
inconvenience caused by water drip
ping from huge icicies and producing
slippery and unsafe sidewalks there
have been many complaints directed
against this menace, At present there
is an ordinance providing for the
cleaning of pavements but not the
buildings.
Mayor Robertson when asked
whether or not there was an ordi-
nance covering the case said, There
is no ordinance providing for the re-
moval of ice from buildings but tits
possible that this might come undtr
the head of dangerous Instructions
or the owner of the building may be
held for negligence" Many persons
urged Whitmer to institute suit for
damages against the tenants of the
building.
