Martin AtchiSon Shot Him.
self Yesterday
WAS A Ii DING CITIZEN
He Sold His Old Farm in Barre Town
Recently and Seemed to Have
Beeen Despondent Since
That Time.

Ever since he sold his home place near
Cutler Corner and moved to the Ernest
Hutchinson farm on the East Hill last
February, Martin Atchison had been de-
spondent, and constant brooding
over the sale was probably the
reason why he committed suicide
yesterday afternoon while travel
ing from his new place Of residence
toward the home of his sister, Mrs.
Charles W. Peake. It was his body that
Mail Carrier G. F. Aver found by the
roadside near the residence OF John Me-
Laughlin early in the afternoon.
Knowing that he had been despondent
for some time, Mrs. Peake, his sister,
had been greatly worried since Martin
had telephoned her yesterday morning
at nine o'clock that he had borrowed
Ernest Hutchinson's rifle and was going
out in his pack pasture to shoot crows.
II was with the rifle that the man ended
his life. He had driven to a spot within
sight Of his sisters house and aIighting

head. His horse was there feeding besides
the road when Mail Carrier aver came
along
There was some doubt at first as to
the mans identity, but within q short
time he was recognized. Selectmen Fred
Sargent and L. N. Aldrich of Barre
Town, both Of whom had served with
Mr.. Atchison on the board Of selectmen
last year whep he did good service for
the town, went to the scene and held an
informal inquest on the case. Their con-
clusion was that it was probably a case
Of suicide Their former associate on
the board had very likely placed the
muzzle Of the 32-calibre repeater IN his
mouth and fired, as the back and top OF
the head was torn very much and death
must have been instantaneous.
DR.. Z. n Bailey, the health officer in
the Town, was present and made the ex-
animation Of the wound, after which the
remains were placed in the hands Of b
w. Hooker & Co. Of this city for prepara-
ton for the funeral.
The self-inficted death caused cen
sation in that part of the town, as Mr..
Atchison was man thoroughly respect
ed and one who had great many friends
who were shocked to hear of his act.
he had not held any Offices other than
that of selectman, but be was regarded
as one Of the towns best citizens. He
had resided in the place for nearly eigh-
teen years, having come from Underhill,
his native place, where most Of his rela-
tives reside
He would have been A3 years OF ags
tomorrow. He leaves his wife and two
sons, Dayton and Earl; also his parents,
Mr.. sand Mrs. John Atchison, three sis
ters and brother in UnderhiIl, and one
sister, Mrs O. W. Peake, in Barre Town.
