years old, who lived near Thornburg,
was found on the banks of the Wichita

had been cut from ear to ear, and his
own knife crusted with blood, was ly-
ing by his side. He Is believed to
have been crazed by the intense heat,
and to have committed suicide as a
result.

home in wagon to haul a load of
water. He did not return and Friday
evening fears for him were entertain.
