HOMELESS At 50
He COMMITS
SUICIDE
Gilby Farmer Selects Stall of
Barn in Which to Leave
this World.

Charles McGinly selected the stall
of a barn in which to end his exist
ence here on earth. A revolver in
his hand and bullet wound in the
forehead told its own story-suicide.
The coroner's inquest was held yes
terday afternoon at Gilby, four miles
The verdict of the jury was that
death was caused by bullet wound
in the head, fired from revolver in
the deceased's own hands.
Mr.. McGinly was aged about so
years. He has no property, and is
the father of large family. 1t had
been decided some time ago that he
should go west to live with Mrs. Nc
Ginly's parents. This fact seems to
have depressed him, and resulted in
the suicide.
Wednesday morning. at about 6
o'clock, Mr.. McGinly left his residence
going to the barn. about ten rods
away. Kneeling down in stall. he
took his own life. The wound in his
forehead was clean one, and the
bullet had done it's work quickly.
When found some 45 minutes later,
he still clutched the revolver in his
hand.
The inquest in the case was held
on Wednesday afternoon at Gilby, be-
fore Justice Petron, c. c. Stewart, J..
p. Reiton and Charles Mackin were
on the jury.
The funeral was held at Gilby this
afternoon, interment taking place in
the Gilby cemetery.
There are eight children surviving.
They range in ages from / to Is years.
Mrs. McGinly also survives here hus-
band. They have no means whatever,
and will no doubt have to be taken
care of for while at least, by people
of the community.
The report that the name of the
suicide was Charles McGillivray is I'M
true.

LIVERY TEAMS NOT WORKING
Those Having Occasion to Make Over.
land Trips Find They Are Up
Against Hard Proposition.

The liverymen of North Dakota are
not taking very many trips into the
country these days. Those who have
had occasion to make overland drives
recently find that it is impossible to
secure any liveryman to send out a
team and driver on account of the
condition of the highways.
Snow and mud have made the roads
almost impossible, and the liverymen
refuse to take any chances on getting
stuck in the country. AS result of
this condition. the travelling public is
having rather. hard time of it.
Times wants will supply your wants.

CHARKED MONEY RUN OPENED.
Treasury Traces Frost Lines Advance
by Burned Savings.

Washington.-"This is the time Of
the year when we have no difficulty
in tracing the frost line" said an Of
fetal of the treasury the other day.
"You see, it's this way. Late in the
spring and early in the summer farm
ers and other frugal people put away
their savings in stoves. which, with
rising atmospheric temperature are
temporarily put out of commission.
Now you would think that men of that
type before starting up the fires in
the fall would first think of the wad,
but they don't. The fire is started,
and up goes the paper money in smoke.
Then charred money begins to pour
in on the treasury for redemption.
IF we had no other way of finding
it out we would know from the burnt
money that is sent in for redemption
that the frost line begins in Maine in
September. In like manner we trace
it southwark and westward. A day or
so ago it struck Green county, In
diana, a little early for that region at
this season. The claims for redemp-
ton are now coming in quite regularly,
but as October advances and parlor
stoves are lighted for the winter they
will come in in ever-increasing mum
bers."

Having attended other commercial
schools, previous to my enrolment at
Aaker's Business College, I believe I
can say that my testimony is based
upon actual experience and proof. I
find that the A. B. C. does not adver-
tise one thing and practice another,
but that a person can rely upon it in
every respect. The school is strictly
modern in equipment, building and
methods of teaching. With pleasure
I recommend it to all those desiring a
good business education. For direct

New Worthwhile two itinerant
showmen, accompanied by two large
performing bears, were passing
through the Long island village OF

caught one of the bears by the leg.
A fierce battle ensued and the dog
got a fatal grip on the throat of the
bear. No one dared go to the rescue

with their poles, we're unable to shake
the dogs grip, and the bear was dead
