covered suspended oy u wire from the
limb of tree. He had climbed into the
tree, fastening the wire about his neck
and attaching it to the limb, and had
then let himself down. His neck was
not broken, but death resulted from
strangulation.
Mr.. Hesse was AZ years of age, and
leaves wife and nine children to mourn
his death. He was a well-to-do farmer,
hard.working and full of energy, and
had made success of his calling. Mrs.
