Oliver Tulley Found Dead at Retreat Supposed "a
Have Been Suicide.

evening by telephone, that Oliver Tul-
ley's hfeless body was found ateut four
O'Clock that afternoon hanging by rope
suspended from rafter in Johr Bean s
tobacco shed at Retreat Mr.. Dunlap,

Immediately for the scene Of the tragedy
and upon investigation concluded to put
off the inquest until tomorrow at 10
o'clock in the forenoon.
1t is generally thought that Tulley
committed suicide, but as yet no cause
can be ascribed for the act.
Oliver with his brother Louie, had in
several acres of tobacco on John Beams
farm in the town sof Sterling and was
'batching it on the same place. 1t
seems thst the boys celebrated the
Fourth and Oliver was not seen after
that by his brother until Tuesday DIR.

ma Fourth celehrated.

The night proceeding the Fourth of
july in this section, was anything but
suggestive of favorable time for the
morrow, heavy rain falling most of
the night, with lowering clouds and
dismal weather predicted for the ami
versary But the SIMS radiant smile at
seasonable hour dispersed the gloom
and aside from mud it was fine day,
cool and pleasant throughout. Viroqua
people scattered in all directions, the
greater part of them, however, going To
Sparta and Neatby The Sparta coI-
tinGant report a mammoth celebration
in hat city, and fine hospitality gener-
ally.
At Westby there was everything TO
make first t-clsss, old fashioned celebra-
tion. The parade was fine, big crowd,
preparations of the highest order n
programme that amused everybody.
The Grafton by Judge Bancroft has not
been excelled in Vernon county on any
similar occasion. 1t resounded with
patriotic sentiments and inspired the
hearers to loftier sentiments of patriot
ism. The address was favorably re-
ceived and highly complimented by
every listener Here the arrangements
were under auspices Of the Westby band,
and the boys are entitled to great credit
for the manner in which they conducted
things. They were assisted on this
occasion by the Coon Valley Cornet
band, another excellent organization.
