Washington street, Hoboken, for which
she has paid SIS a month for several

SUICIDE IN HOLT COUNTY
LEWIS M'DERMoTT ENDS LIFE BY
HANGING FROM A TREE.
GRlevED OVER cHlL0's DEATH

Mr. McDermot Was a Member Of the
Republican County Central Com
mittee in Holt County-Took Ad-
vantage Of Famiy's Absence.
O'Neill, Neb., May 1S.-Special to
The News: Lewis McDermot COM
mitted suicide at his fathers farm
mile south of Inman by hanging late
in the afternoon Saturday. The body
was found dangling by rope from a
limb of tree back of the barn by
his nineteen-year-old sister, the only
one of the family at home at the
time.
McDermot was about thirty-five
years old and married. He had been
regarded as mentally unbalanced
since the loss of their only child a
few months ago and had made two
previous attempts at suicide. For
this reason his fathers family had
persuaded him to come with his wife
and live with them, hoping thus to
prevent him from carrying out his
manifest intention to take his life.
Saturday the folks all went to town
but Lewis and his sister. Lewis was
listing corn. Late in the afternoon
he drove in from the field, tied the
horses still hitChed to the lister and
went to the house and took a drink
of water. Noticing that his sister
was lying on the sofa he quietly went
out, Fifteen or twenty minutes later
Miss McDermot, mistrusting that her
brother might have taken advantage
of the absence of the family to carry
out his previous threats, went out to
investigate and found the lifeless
body OF her brother dangling from a
tree. She telephoned to the nearest
neighbor c. d. Reyes, who fastened
to the McDermot home and took the
body down. He had evidently
climbed the tree, fastened the rope
to limb, put his neck in the moose
and dropped down.
During the morning McDermot and
his wife had been to the grave OF
their dead baby with a tribute of
flowers. He grieved much over the
loss Of their little one.
He was a member of the Woodmen
and Odd Fellows lodges and also
member of the executive committee
OF the Holt county republican central
committee and took an active part i'm

BEEF GOES UP.
High Price Of Corn Makes Cornfed
Beef Expensive Article.

The price of beef over the retail
counter has not been so high as II Is
today in Norfolk for many years.
The high price of corn Is the cause
of the prevailing hcavcnward cost.
Just at the present time the steers
shipped to market are cornfcd ami
mails and their meat is the choicest
in the world. A month later the
CRASHED cattle will be coming into
the saleyard.
Corn is such scarce article this
spring that the price has gone up.
One well posted man said the other
day he thought corn might get up
around 81. AS result of the in
creased cost of beef many people in
the cities have quit eating meat for
the time being and are become veg
etarians. In Norfolk, however, there
has been no noticeable tendency In
this direction.
