ENDS LIFE BY POISON
w. W. Kentfeld, Well Known and
Prosperous, Suicides.

Despondent over the death of his
wife who passed away about two
years ago, and suffering from Ill
health, William Nv. Kentfield, well
known and prosperous Mahaska far
mer, committed suicide about noon
Sunday at his home about seven miles
southwest of Oskaloosa, taking poi
son thought to have been strychnine.
A brother thinks that the poison was
taken in mistake for medicine to re-
lieve suffering. = Other members of
the family believe, however, that the
man had planned self destruction.
Mr.. Kentfield ate no breakfast and
seemed worse than usual, although
making no complaint of i'll feeling. He
merely remarked that he was not
feeling well and seemed unusually de-
spondent. He went TO the stables to
look after the morning chores. A
member of the family was with him
and Mr.. Kentfield complained that he
return to the house and he went back
unaccompanied. Arrived at the house
he entered his room and sent out the
children who had followed him and
was alone. 1t is surmised that he
took the medicine or the drug at this
time. No one, however, saw him
take anything at any time, nor did
he admit that he had taken poison.
He soon grew rapidly worse and call
ed for assistance, and insisted that
his brother, L. l.. Kentfield, be sent
for. He objected to the calling of a
| physician in spite of the fact that he
seemed strangely impressed that he
had not long to live. He grew vio-
lently sick and death ensued before
the brother could reach him.
The deceased has been depressed
and i'll ever since the death of the
wife and seemed to have lost inter-
est in life. He has been uncomplain-
ing in general, but his condition has
frequently caused friends and neigh
bors to be apprehensive. He leaves
| five minor children.
| Burial will take place Tuesday
morning, May "a, at the Henness Gem
etery. =&.=
