OLIvET Miner
ENDS HIS LIFE.
JOE LITTLE BLOWS OFF TOP OF
HEAD WITH SHOT GUN
WHILE DEsPoNDENT.

Oskaloosa, Dec. 27.-Joe Little aged
"a, mine worker living at Olivet, a
mining station near here, committed
suicide yesterday afternoon by blow
ing off the top OF his head with a
shotgun, Dependency over his CON
nection with the woman is said to have
been the cause of the deed
He left Oskaloosa yesterday after
noon about o'clock to go hunting,
having rented shotgun and borrowed
some shells from friend. When out
near the old fair grounds, he killed
himself by taking the gun in one hand
and pulling the trigger with the other,
the entire charge striking the top of
his head, killing him instantly.
The young man left letter for his
father, Silas Little Of Olivet, stating
that he was going to kill himself, as
he could mot face his friends whom
he had disgraced." In the same let.
ter, he also warned his friends that
when they came to town to have q
good time to remember him and when
they thought they were having a good
time they were only sinking deeper in
the mire.'

BIS o'clock this morning and the cur
tain of death was drawn on a beautiful
young life.
Realizing that death was lowering
about, Miss Brawley, thoughtful Of
those more unfortunate, prayed that
her life might be prolonged to Christ
mas day, and in anticipation of this it
was her desire that her small bank ac-
count might be used in the purchasing
of gifts for her friends and for those
she knew to be in needy circunl-
stances. Her dying wish was fulfilled
and death was not unwelcome by the
patient and thoughtful young woman.
Miss Brawley was a native Of OF

She was a member Of the class Of 1911
Of the Ottumwa high school, and was a
favorite with her many fellow stud.
