COMMITTED SUICIDE.
J.C. Foster Shoots a Bullet
Through His Head.
WAS CARRIER ON RURAL ROUTE.

WAS CAkklEk UN RURAL ROUTE.
J.. C. Foster, mail carrier OF Rural
Route No. =, and son-in.law OF ]. II.
Evilsizer, took his life by firing a
bullet from pistol into his brain,
Thursday morning Of last week.
The deed was committed in the rear
OF his home near the Mo. Pacific
depot, this city, and happened be-
tween the hours OF 4 and half past
) O'Clock.
A servant girl, who was assisting
in the breakfast meal, in emptying a
pan OF ashes in the back yard, first
discovered the body. Returning to
the house she reported a man lying
in the yard. Mr.. Evilsizer, who
CHANGED to be stopping at the house
over night, went out to investigate
the matter and found the body to be
that OF his son-in-law, Foster.
The Fosters run a lunch counter
in the front room OF their dwelling
and there CHANGED to be young
man at the counter taking a cup OF
coffee. The two returned to where
Foster lay and an investigation in
the bright moonlight revealed a bul,
let hole in the right temple.
They then went to the depot to tel
ephone Coroner Renick, but were not
successful. DR.. Lyle, who was at
the depot to take the early train to
Kansas City, accompanied Mr.. Evil,
sizer and the young man to where
the body lay and assisted in carry
ing it into the house. The body lay
about 25 feet from the kitchen door,
the head to the west. His cap was
at his feet and small pistol OF 81
caliber was under his right leg.
Foster left the house at 4:10 O clock,
said Mr., Evilsizer, supposedly for the
barn to feed his horses. and his dead
body was discovered a httle after
O'Clock. The report ofthe pistol was
not heard by any one in the house.
Foster had had no Il ouble with his
family, said Mr.. Evilsizer, and we
cannot account for his rash act. He
was a notionate fellow and did not
care to stick to any one thing long
at a time. We assisted him to secure
the mail contract, but he had tired
of this and a short time ago resign
ed, but had not been released.
DR.. Renick, coroner, held an inquest
over the body Thursday afternoon
and the jury, composed of the follow,
ing named gentlemen: Stewart Atch-
eson, &. c. Miller, T. f. Hawley, T..
Hulen, J. H. Sisson and " H Hupp,
rendered a verdict that deceased
came to his death from a gun shot
wound in his right templeinficted by
himself or by some unknown person.
Saturday morning at nine o'clock a
post mortem examination was held
be Drs. Renick and Lockwood, and
bullet of 32 caliber, was removed
from the brain.
Deceased was 40 years OF age and
leaves a wife and two little sons. He
was a member OF the Woodmen in
which lodge he held s., 900 insurance,
The funeral took place Sunday morn
ing at 8 o'clock, conducted by Elder
Williamson, of the Christian church,
assisted by the lodge OF which he
was q member. The body was inter-
red in Oak Hill cemetery.

county, that state. that he would be held
responsible for DR.. A. A. Ames until
March 5, when he is to be turned over to
the Minneapolis authorities. A report
from DR.. G. p. Conn as to Ames' physical
condition was expected at the council, but
he was not requested to report his lind
ings. The conference was held behind
closed doors, only the members of the
council and those connected with the
case being admitted. -
C. ]. Hamblett, attorney for Ames, in
formed Governor Batchelder that owing to

wished, to take advantage OF a provision OF
the statutes allowing the governor the
power to- grant eXtradition, but delay
service of the documents until another
time. He declared that it was impossible
| to move his client at this time without
endangering his life. The governor saw
no objection to making the papers effec-
| tive at a future time.

RULING UPON TAX TITLES
Justice Collins Hands Down Decis.
= ion on Necessary Features Of
Redemption Notice.

Justice Collins of the supreme court
banded down a decision to-day in a tax
title case coming up from St. Louis
county. He holds that redemption no
tice given by the county auditor was not
sufficient because it did not include the
amount of the unpaid delinquent taxes, In
terest and penalties. In this point the
court overrules a decision in the case Of
Knight VS.. Knoblauch, II Mimi, and holds
that the rule laid down in that case was
notably erroneous" The notice should
state the amount necessary to redeem at
the time notice is issued, and not at the
end of the sixty days allowed for redemp-
ton. The syllabus reads as follows:
The Midland company, corpora ton. appel
liant, VS.. William Fl. Eby, respondent.
First-When specifying the amount required
to redeem in the notice provided for in Gen.
St., 1894 section 1854, the county auditor
must include the total sum due on account OF
the delinquent taxes. interest, penalties and
costs mentioned in the second and third sub.
divisions OF. section 1 ,692.
second-This amount should be the sum &C.
tually due on the day the notice is dated, over.

Third-Wheu redemption is made interest
