CANE HOME TO SUICIDE
Oliver /. Drew, Of Glidden, Missing
for Two Weeks, Writes That He Will
Return - Later Comes Home and
Hangs Himself Without Making
Presence Known.

Special to Times Republican.
Glidden, Aug. 1S.-Oliver L. Drew
was found hanging dead this morning
in machine shed at his home five
miles southeast of Glidden. Mr.. Drew
left home two weeks ago and was not
heard of nor did his family or friends
know of his whereabouts until letters
came from him Saturday dated at
Sioux City and Whiting, saying that
he would be home within q few days.
He also stated in these letters that he
had been crazy all summer and that
while he would be home he did not ex-
pect to stay long, and from other Ian
guage in the letters it was evident
that he was mentally unbalanced, but
it was scarcely believed that he con-
templated this rash act.
Monday evening he came to Coon
Rapids and hired a liveryman to take
him home, distance of ten %miles
north. Just before reaching home
probably about II o'clock, he dis
charged the liveryman, reached his
residence from the rear. went to the
machine shed and with a short halter
rope hung himself to the joists. His
suit case was found by his son in the
morning in the COW barn not far from
the scene of the tragedy.
The son notified the neighbors and
j. J. Brand and Walter Paul We're
soon on the premises and in few
moments found the lifeless body OF
Mr. Drew as noted above. 1t is evident
that MIR. Drew's mind had become af
fected, tho this fact was not discern
able to strangers nor scarcely so to
his family. He was AZ years of age
a prosperous farmer, tho renter, and
had fine family, consisting of wife
and three sons. He was the eldest son
of w. H. Drew, of Lanesboro, who is
one of the oldest settlers in Carroll
county. The deceased was a man OF
exemplary habits and a splendid citi-
zen
