Well Known Sigourney Man Tries
TO XIII Himself.

Sigourney, Jan. Gilbert II. Ut
terback, one OF the best known Sig
Quincy businessmen, attempted sui
eide at his home here last evening
about o'clock. The man was proba-
bly, mentally unbalanced ON account
of financial troubles The man now
lies unconscious at his home, fatally
shot, and his death must result In al
short time. The affair is one Of the
most shocking that has occurred in
the city in years and the town isl
greatly excited.
A meeting Of business associates
was called for Monday evening to|
confer with Mr.. Utrerback. The
members had met at the appointed
time and Mr.. UtterbacK was late. a.
telephone message to his home
brought the information that he
had started some time before An
other wait, and finally search was
made for the man. A party went to
the barn which Utterpack was seen
to enter some time before. AS the
door of the stable was opened shot
rang out and Gilbert Utterback lay
PROSTATE before number of horri-
a great wound in the left temple.
Utterback was a cripple. His
limbs and hands were misshapen and
badly drawn on account of rheuma-
tism. He walked about assisted by
cane and his hands and arms were
so crippled that he could use them
only to a limited extent. This is ac-
countable for the strange means en-
| ployed by the man in accomplishing
his own murder At the hour of his
| appointment he went to the barn. He
| picked up q piece of gas pipe about
two feet in length and placed the
barrel of thirty-eIght calibre reyol
yer in one end of it, The butt oil
| the revolver he rested on a manger
He placed the other end of the gas
pipe against his temple and, break
ing his cane off so that he could use
it for the purpose, discharged the
| gun with the assistance Of the walk
ing stick. He could not hold the gun
| in his hand so as to be certain of his
| aim
4 The shot was not Immediately ia
tai and the man was picked up alive
but unconscious. Medical attention
was called for Immediately and every.
i thing possible done for him. TIE
ball entered the left temple and TAX.
i ing downward course, is lodged at
j the base of the brain. The man can
not survive many hours.
i Gilbert Utterback is a man forty
five years of age. He was of a sin
i gularly bright and happy disposition
and was popular with all classes o.
people. His infirmities and poor
health seemed only to make him the
u more cheerful and hopeful. Every
: body liked the man. 1t is believed
j that, his accounts are strictly correc
! and that his act was the result o
Z ten days csaseless worry over hi
i financial affairs.
y The man is a brother of Adna F. Ut
! terback, president of the Hedricl
!, Savings Bank, and a well known
4 horseman of the state.

About Lights.
A light having been petitioned for
at the intersection of Sixth avenue
and Sixth street, the light. committee
was asked to investigate and report
the same, Dr. Cole, chairman, stat.
ed that here was no question about
the need of light at the place, but
there were other places about the
city needing the light just as much
as this place. If the light was order.
ed in here it would have to go in al
other intersections. The light. fund
at the present time was in no shape
to have any increase in the light bill
on account of increased lights, and
the gentleman therefore advised
against the allowing of the light for
the present.
