ambushed and instantly killed on
Friday night, are still at large. The
verdict Of the coroner's jury was
that "he came to his death at the

COMMITS SUICIDE
MIR. NJ. L. DOUGLASS, OF SPRING
FIELD, SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Health Gone and in Debt Young
Faaner Exasgerates His Troubles
t-,z-sis
,. Until They Drive Him to Despair.

Springfield, June 1O.-Speclai:
Near the hour of ten o'clock this
morning, Mr.. Mott L. Douglass, a
white farmer living about three miles
east of this town, deliberately shot
the front and top of his face ana
head off. Mr.. Douglass was about 80
years old. He had a wife and three
children, the eldest being about 9
years old.
MIR. Douglas was the eldest son
of Mr.. Joseph ]. Douglass and had
lived here most of his life. Up to
two or three years ago he seemed to
prosper, but the last two disastrous
years appeared to wipe out the sur
plus that he had SO carefully horded
for his advancing years. Nothing
was known here Of any trouble until
phone message announced the aw.
full tragedy.
It has been learned from his fam
lily that for several weeks Mr.. Doug
lass has been very Respondent and,
for the past few days, quite unwell.
He bought bottle of laudanum here
a day or two ago and said that he
wanted it for sick mule. 1t now
appears that he drank part of 1t
yesterday and it failing to kill him,
he awoke with a full determination
to complete his deed.
Selecting a time when his wife
was attending to his stock, he took
his gun and, going into the yard, lay
down upon the ground, placing the
muzzle under his chin, when he pres
sed the trigger with his toe, shoot
ing awar his entire face and the top
of his head. That the act was de-
liberately planned is shown by short
note addressed to Magistrate Corbett
of this place, asking him to collect
an account due him by citizen Of
this community. He also left the
following note:
.sTo Whom it May Concern:
'.If 1 should be suddenly taken off,
ask that Marian Ehney take Muriel,
A. w. Corbett take Evner May, and
that A. E. Gleaton take Harold. l
hope my wife will fare better with
out me than she can with me. My
health is gone and am not able to
work any more, and l do not wish
to be q burden to any one. can

another and I can not pay my debtsa

goods. have some tools that could
be used to pay some of my small
debts.

Asr. Douglass was considered per-
iectly reliable man. and his untime-
1y death Is a great shock to his
aamiiy and friends He allowed his
troubles to magnify as he was backed
by strong financial concern Of his
town who state that he was in no
immediate fnancia' difficulties and
could get anything he wanted. His
wife is in dangerously delicate po-
sition. She was Miss Ella Caugh-
