AGED MAN
A SUICIDE
Dians Whitlatch,
Eddypille Pioneer,
Found With Throat
Cut

Eddyvflle, Feb 20.-(special. y
Dians Whit.atch, an old and respected
citizen Of Bluff Creek, tried to end his
life by cutting his throat. For some
time Mr.. Whitlatch has been making
him home with his son, Charley Whit
latch and has had poor health all win
ter. III he;.lth is the reason advanced
for the rash act. Yesterday morning
Mr.. Whitlatch arose early and left the
house and when he did not return for
breakfast his son Charley began 10
search for him. He found him about
one-fourth mile from home on the
Ratio Davis farm, with his throat bad
ly cut, but hardly deep enough to sever
the jugular vein. No cause other than
i'll health can be given for the act.
