Shot Himself.

W. Il. Thompson, a we'll to do
and respected farmer of Hazel Green
township while temporarily insane
last Friday morning Killed himself
by placing the muzzle of his shot
gun in his mouth, which when dis
charged cleft his skull in two.
MIR. Thompson has been a tireless
worker, by his ceasless labor and
brain force he has made for himself
place among the most prominent
and prosperous farmers of Delaware
county. During the past summer
he practically worked night and
day, which no doubt accounts for
the nervous condition of his health
which lead to this last fearful act.
When he arose Friday morning
at about five o'clock he exclaimed
MY lead, oh, my head!" and i'm
mediately afterwards he stepped in
to closet off the dining room and
committed suicide as before men
toned.
He was a man probably in the
forties and leaves wife and family
of seven children. The funeral
services were held at the Buck Creek
church Sunday afternoon at half
past two.

Freight Train Kills a Team,

Winthrop Review: A railroad ac-
cident which is surrounded by pecu-
liar circumstances, occurred at the
Singer crossing,one mile west of this
city, on Wednesday morning. About
half past eight that morning a west
bound freight train struck team,
lumber wagon and man on the
crossing. The team was killed, the
wagon was broken to pieces, but the
man seems to have escaped uninjur-
ed. After the accident the man
went to the Singer place and was
told he could ride to Independence
with them, as they were going to
that city. He stood around for a
few minutes and appeared to be
dazed. When the men at the Singer
place were ready to start for indie
pendence they looked for the man Of
the accident and found he had walk
ed down the road towards Doris.
The odd part of the affair is that
the man who was driving the team
the night previous to the accident
had gone to the barn Of Mr. Tyner,
who resided north of the county
poor farm, and there taken wagon,
hog rack and team. He left note
pinned on the barn door which stat
ed that VIM Higgins, neighbor,
had borrowed the outfit and that
he would return it about noon.
From there the fellow drove some
other place and loaded the wagon
with eight hogs. He then came tc
Winthrop, arriving here between
seven and eight o'clock. The hogs
were sold to Geo. Spangler, and il
being after banking hours, the check
amounting to $54 was cashed by "A
T. Robinson. After the transaction
the fellow at once left town and the
next and last heard or seen of him
was at the scene of the accident
The strange man told Spangle.
his name was Jay Brown. It is re
ported that the man is a New Yorl
waif who was brought to this local.
/ ty several years ago and has beel
living with farmers in this neigh
borhosd since his arrival.
1t is question yet as to how thu
owner of the team and the rail roat
company will settle; also as to wha
will be the out come of the hog deal
Certain it is that partial retributio,
came quick to the hog thief. Il
must have thought the devil ha
, him sure when the train struck hi
outfit. The fellow is going yet, an
while he may be frightened, he
