NfNE-YEAR.oLD SUICIDE.
Believed He Would Be imprisoned Be-
 cause He Set Fire to Forest.

Harrison. April 2i.-Ans eXtraordin-. ary story is that which comes from Eruna, a point in Marion county. detailing the suicide of Claude Field found dead in the yard with a target rife by his side. The coroner's jury decided that he came to his death by his own hand.
 The explanation of the tragedy in tho reports received here is that the lay preferred death to the horrors of the punishment with which his amagi- nation had been fired Warned by his father against permitting fire to be enread in the woods, the boy mad yerfently allowed the flames to spread in an attempt to smoke out a rabbit. He was accompanied by his brother, 12 years of age.
 With the intention of impressins upon his sons the seriousness of the offense, B. l.. Fielden told the two boys that if they caused fire to spread and destroy the timber and fences they would be sent to the penitentiary for life and be compelled to eat and sleep with negro felons. That this statement weighed heavily upon the mind of the younger boy is shown by the sequel
 Claude and his brother had tried t: smoke out rabbit the day before. The fire was supposed to have died cut but it unexpectedly became fan ned into a blaze which spread over the woods adjoining the Filden home.
 The father and mother were away from home for the day. AS the ire i.,creased and came tnreateningly noar the fences, Claude invoked tn assistance of neighbor to blow fur rows between the advancing fire ana the fences. The lad asked the neigh tor's opinion as to whether the 1enc- es could be saved. The man shook his had dubiously.
 Not long after that Claude rushed ito the house. A little later he was found dead in the front yard and the target rife near him seemed to ex- plain that he had taken his own ll1e because of the regret he felt for set ting fire to the woods and of his fear of his fear of the punishment he con- sidered in store for him.
 The coroners jury made thorough investigation and the facts were In ought out at the inquest.
