To Have Had Domestic Worries.

Council Bluffs. July 2.-It is now be-
lieyed here that domestic worries were
partly to blame for the suicide Of John
Dicks. who hung himself Friday morn

About a week ago he called at the
office of Justice Field and stated that
he wanted to marry the woman with
whom he had been living for more than
twenty years, in order that in case Of
his death the little property which by
a. lifetime of labor and saving he had
managed to amass might go to his
daughter Tillie, aged II years. He said
he had consulted attorneys and had
been told that a common-la.w marriage
was valid. but a ceremony might pre-
vent trouble and possible litigation af-
ter his death.
Dicks left, and few days later called
again. this time accompanied by Mrs.
Dicks. Both were dressed up for the
occa sion. and the marriage was again
mentioned Mrs. Dicks objected to It's
performance, but only on the ground
that the publication of 1t might hu-
initiate her In. the eyes of her two mar
ried daughters, her children by for
mer husband or in the estimation of
her friends. When Dicks urge3 that
she allow the marriage to take place
she showed great nervousness. At
length she was induced to go to the
office Of the clerk OF the district court,
