Ole /. Mouseth of Freeborn town
ship, Freedom county was found hang
my III lhc Sidhdiy hcdi IiS IcSIuelicc
Thursday morning by the people on
the farm. He was dead when found
Coroner Gordon was called and upon
examination decided that the case was
so plainly suicide that it was UNI
necessary to hold an inquest No
cause can be assigned for the deed
other than dependency caused by
physical illness. Mr.. Mouseth was q
man about sixtyfour years old and
his financial condition was such that
he could have no cause to worry about
that. Nothing strange had been noticed
about his actions Wednesday evening,
but in the morning he could not be
found in his bed nor anywhere about
so search was started with the re-
suit that his dead body hanging in
the granary was found as stated
above. He leaves six children.
The rain last night cut the Halo
we'en sports and pranks short, and
dence of the nights work than usual
this morning. Windows were soaped as
usual, and loose articles changed about,
but aside from that not a great deal
was done. Very little property was
destroyed. A fence on Elm street be-
tween Second and Broad was pushed
over, and also an clubhouse in that
vicinity, but if those who did this
are apprehended they will undoubtedly
be required to pay for the damage
or else stand a prosecution.
The police did not find it necessary
to make any arrests as nothing unlaw-
full was done during their presence
