be built just in front Of the grand

night Henry Smith, white, an opera
tive at the Wylie mill, fired a pisto
shot through the brim Of his hat while

suicidal intent or merely for lack OF

more heavily than usual for the last
few days and some incline to the
opinion that he had become so thor

resolved upon self destruction. Smitf
