AGED MAN SUICIDES.
John Williams of Near GermanviIIe,
Commits Suicide.


Fairfield, June 6.-John Williams, an
old and highly respected citizen of this
vicinity, committed suicide last Friday
night by drowning himself in galvan-
lied iron water tank, at the home of
his son, Fred Williams, who lives
about two and a half miles southeast
of Germanville.
He had several times threatened to
take his life, saying that he was old
and in the way. Once about three
years ago he made an attempt at self
destruction, but was discovered in time
to prevent him harming himself.
Last Friday night, his son states,
that he knew his father to be. in bed
about IL o'clock He awoke about 5
o'clock Saturday morning and about
half an hour later found his father
dead in the watering tank
1t was clearly a case of suicide as
Mr.. Williams had dressed and gone
to the tank. which he got into head
first. He was found under the cross
bars of the tank, which was large and
over half full of water. Mr.. Williams
was born in Germany about eighty
years ago He was eccentric in many
ways, but was we'll liked among his
neighbors and friends Sheriff Wright
and Coroner Hague went to the scene
Saturday noon and after making a
number of inquiries and hearing the
