NOT A SUICIDE.

The investigation into the manner
of the death of Henry Tackman. a
Bristow farmer. by committee from
the Yeomen lodge. in which order he
held an insurance policy for $4,000,
has brought to light curious state OF
fact. 1t was generally supposed that
iu was case of suicide, as Tackman
was found hanging in his barn. 1t is
now just as firmly believed to have
been an accidental death in most
peculiar manner. Tackman was found
by his son. who says his neck was sur
rounded by strap in such manner
as to strangle him. His knees were
almost touching the floor. The strap
about his neck was attached to bride
suspended from peg on the wall. He
had one hand partly in his pocket in
which was a knife just beyond the
reach of his fingers, owing to his
peculiar position. The theory of the
committee is that he entered the stall
to harness the horse. was kicked at,
lodged the blow and slipped. catching
his head in the birdie straps in the
manner deshcribed.

county bridge in the sense that the
county must keep it in repair. A man
