TOOK his OWN LIFE.
m. B. Stewart Cuts his Throat Witt
His Pocket KNIFE.
Unfortunate Man Had Been Mentally
Unbalanced tor Some Time.

Mr.. M. B. Stewart, brotherinlaw
of Mr.. ]. B. Rees, committed suicide
last SATURDAY. about O'Clock in his
room at the home of Mr. Rees on the
Hampshire pike, by cutting his throat
with his pocket knife. All indications
were that the deed was committed
while the unfortunate man was in
bed.
Mr.. Stweart s usual hour for rising
was about eight O'Clock. At that
hour last Saturday his sister, Mrs.
Rees, went up to his room to wake
him, and found his door standing
open. She looked in and saw him
| lying in bed and noticed that there was
something wrong with him. She went
to him and found large cash in his
throat, from which blood was flowing
freely. An open pocket knife lying
close by told the story. Mrs. Rees
summoned. some of the neighbors and
| telephoned her husband, who had just
come into the city. When the neigh
bors arrived Mr.. Stewart was still
breathing, but only indistinctly, and
in few minutes he died
It is supposed that the unfortunate
man made up his mind to take his life
| Just after waking, ana tnat ne got up
and opened his room door, SO that he
could be easily found, and then went
to his clothes which were lying on a
chair and securing his pocket knife,
returned to his bed and covering him
self up, plunged the knife into his
throat The jugular vein was com
pletely severed.
Mr.. Stewart had been mentally UNI
balanced for some time. His mind
began to give way year or so ago,
but it was not thought that he was in
serious condition Lately however,
he had begun to grow worse, and
about one month ago he became so
incapacitated that his brother in law,
Mr.. Rees, qualified in the County
Court as his guardian.
Deceased was a single man. about 40
years old, and was possessed OF pro-
perty in Oklahoma. His old home
was at Georgetown. Ohio, and the re-
mains were shipped to that place
Saturday afternoon on the 80 o clock
train.
