afford to do this and had about
given up all hope of getting much

Alvah Pilbln, 2S, of Gilmore, died
Saturday, April l, under circum-

The case was pronounced suicide, by
shooting himself with S2-calibre re-
volver the bullet entering the right
temple causing instant death. The
affair took place at the home OF James
Dobson, in East Gilmore, where the
young man was employed The story
as told by the Dobson family Is to
the effect that all had been sitting up
later than usual. When ready to re-
tire Pilbin took lamp in one hand
and a revolver In the other, and bid
ding the family goodbye went to his
room. Hearing the report of revolt
yer very soon, Mr.. Dobson rushed up
stairs to Pilbin's room and found the
latter lying across his bed with the
revolver still in his hand.
After an investigation, the town au'
pronounced 1t case OF sui
eide; but neighbors reporting that
Dobson and Pilbin had had trouble
that day and that both had been
drinking, an additional investigation
was made and circumstances seemed
to warrant further action. The flu
neral was delayed and the states at
torney notified. An autopsy was held
Monday, April 3, and thorough eX-
animation made. The authorities
refuse to make any
statement at present.
