Blew Out His Brains.

Last evening the members Of the
family sat down to dinner and con-
versed cheerfully during the meal
Burr seemed rather quieter than usual
but his actions did not betray his feel
ings. After dinner he left the dining
room and went to his room. He had
been gone but few moments when
those gathered down stairs heard the
report Of revolver. The report was
not distinct and none of the family had
the slighteste intimation of what had
occurred. A short time later Austin
Osburn, brother of the deceased, left
the dining room to go to his apart
ments. and stopped at the room Of his
brother. He was Mortified to find him
dying at the foot of the bed with a
gaping hole in his head.
After going up stairs Burr had
placed the muzzle of large navy re-
volver to his head, just above the right
eye, and sent the ball crashing through
the brain.
When Austin entered the room his
brother was still alive, but unconscious.
He was sitting on the foot of the bed
when the shot was fired and was about
to fall to the floor when the brother
entered. Austin ran over to him and
took him in his arms just as he ex-
pired.
Relatives Are Grief Stricken.
The suicide Of the young man was
quite as much surprise to his rela-
tives as to the people who knew him
well, and there was grief in the house.
hold. Dr. Estes was summoned with
all haste, but Burr was beyond medical
assistance when the physician arrived.
The ball had entered the brain and
the young man experienced not the
slightest pain, though he survived the
wound a few moments
News Of the suicide spread rapidly
and there was universal sorrow among
friends Of the family. 1t seemed in
credible that the young man should
have taken his life, and, as his physical
condition was known to but few, the
announcement Of the death proved a
sad surprise. Mother, father and
brother are heart broken over the sad
affair, and in her bereavement have
the sympathy of the entire community.
A Promising Young Man.

J. c. Herdliska brought copy of
Japanese paper to the Union Office
the other day, the copy having been
packed with some Japanese goods he
had received. The paper consisted of
four pages, but we have so far been
unable to get head nor tail to the
thing. It contains some clever car
toons, but we failed to find the Port
Arthur bottle or any of the Russian
curios. We noticed two cigarette and
one beer ad in the paper which shows
that the little empire is right abreast
of the times. Any parties proficient
in Japanese literature can have the
copy by calling at the Union office.
