ROY SALMON
Commits Suicide In His Office at
jacksonville Tuesday
Afternoon.
WAS WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY AT LAW

Roy Salmon, a well known
lawyer of jacksonville, commit
ted suicide in his Office Tuesday
afternoon. He was found sitting
on the side of the bed in a room
adjoining his law office by his
brother, Dick Salmon. His head
was in his hands and blood was
streaming from his right ear. His
brother quickly summoned a
physician and gently laid the dy-
ing man back on the bed, but
before the physician reached his
side life was extinct. The pistol
with which the deed was com.
mitted was found living on the
floor at his feet. MIR. Salmon
had been in i'll health for several
months, and it is thought while
in a respondent condition he
conceived the idea of putting an
end to his trouble by suicide. He
was a brother of r. M. and Dick
Salmon, of the Crabtree Coal
Mining Co., both of whom were
in jacksonville at the time of
the tragedy. A wife and two
children survive him. He was a
member of the Elks and also of
the Woodmen, and was insured
in the latter order. The funeral
took place at the Odd Fellows
Cemetery yesterday afternoon at
2:30 under the auspices of the
Elk lodge. The many friends
and acquaintance of the deceas-
ed extend coincidence to the be-
reayed family and relatives.

Tom Carney. Colored. Shot in Madison.
vile Saturday Night.

Tom Carney, colored, of Madi-
sonville, was shot and instantly
killed by his wife late Saturday
night. Carney went home from
the street fair drunk and began
abusing his wife, when she in
self defense took a pistol and
shot him through the breast,
killing him instantly. Carney
was the chief witness for the
prosecution against Louis Will
belt, the white boy who is now
in Jail at jacksonville ON the
charge of killing Gus Mcintosh
at Warrington several months
ago. tits thought by some the
death of the negro, Carney, will
be the cause of a much lighter
sentence being imposed on Will
bert.

Hard Weather Prediction.

The weather-wise are pre-
dieting a hard winter and de-
clare that it is not far off. In
proof of their forebodings they
cite the fact that the shuck on
the corn is not only unusually
thick but extends out over the
ear farther than common. The
skin on the onion is also said to
be unusually heavy which is re-
garded as another sure sign.
Hunters say that the fur on rab-
bits, squirrels and other game
is more abundant this year than
for several years past, which is a
never failing indication of a
hard winter. The goose bone
specialist has not been heard
from yet, but in the light of
these harbingers it is expected
that he will JOIN in the chorus
for record breaking siege of
cold weather.

The sanitary conditions in some
parts of the city are fearful and
should be attended to at once.
This is the dry season of the year
when sickness of all kinds. is
most likely to prevail and the
best way to prevent this state of
affairs is to put your premises
in good condition by giving them
a thorough cleaning and using
plenty of lime. Do not neglect
this as it is very important and
may save you from a long spell
of sickness.
