SHOE STRINGS
Well Dressed Unknown Man
Commits Suicide in a
Novel Fashion.
FIRST WOULD DROWN
Failing in This He Attaches Moose to
Tree and Slowly Strangles.
to Death.

After failing in an effort to drown
himself in ditch along a country
road near Lansing. ILL.,. an unknown
man pulled the strings from his shoes,
made a slip knot and hung himself to
a wild crabapple tree.
The suicide was we'll dressed, but
had recently suffered the loss of an
eye. and 1t IS thought that this may
have been the reason why he took his
life
William Lawrence, a resident of
Lansing, found the body of the man,
who had evidently been dead for some
time and at once notified Constable
William Boozack. but as the suicide
had occurred in Bloom township, it
was out Of his jurisdiction and he in
turn notified the authorities at Chi
cago Heights. who removed the corpse.
The man was we'll dressed and the
farmers say looked like Chicago
sport. He had a mustache. wore glass
es and was about 25 or 30 years old.
Clothes are Muddy.
When the man was found his clothes
were all wet and muddy and it was
apparent that he had made a desper-
ate effort to die by drowning. Failing
in this. and still determined to end his
existence, he cast about for some other
means Of accomplishing his purpose.
HE shoe strings were the only means
to that end, and he pulled them out
determined to use them TO end his life.
He tied them together, doubled them,
made slip moose. placed 1t around his
neck. and then reaching up to one OF
the limbs OF a wild crabappie tree,
he tied the strings securely and set
tied back so that the moose would
&fgntcrT.
He allowed all of his weight to rest
on the strings, and gradually strangl-
ed to death. The body was found about
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
At Chicago Heights, where the in
quest was held, an effort is being made
to discover the identity of the man. but
SO far it has been unsuccessful.

of the missing report: ~, zo,7
"Since Governor Glenn has said
and done 80 much to force the South.
ern Railroad Company to show up
its books, to be consistent, he should
have the report of the Atlantic and
North Carolins Railroad published.
It is due him and his administra.
ton to do SO. IF it had been done
under Republican administration,
he certainly would have published
it before now. If it is not done,
every party will think there is
something rotten about it,"
There has always been something
dark and suspicious about that re-
port. 1t was made behind closed
doors while Aycock was Governor,

has never seen daylight. The Demo.
