W. R. McNaushton Suicides.

On Friday last word was received III
this city by Coroner Strock that early
that morning Will r. McNaughton,
clerk of Fairview township, had taken
his own life by firing pistol ball into
his brain.
On Thursday McNaughton was in
Waukon and drew from County
Treasurer Leppert money to the
amount of sl026. 90, the same being
due the township of Fairview. The
money was drawn to pay outstanding
warrants of the township, as follows :
Road warrants $323.0l; school war
rants. s703. Checks were given Nc
Naughton as follows: On Waukon
State Bank for 1896. 90; this check he
cashed before leaving Waukon; on
Monona State Bank for 5000, Postville
State Bank, 5000, Monona Bank, $500.
McNaughton was in Monona Thurs
day night. He retured to his home
in Fairview during the early morn
ing hours of Friday, and telling his
son that he had lost this money, di-
rected him to go to Monona and try
to learn what had become of it. The
son had fastened to do his fathers
bidding, but finding no trace of the
money and little or nothing as TO his
fathers doings, he called up the latter
and told him the result of his search.
