G. O'HARA COMMITS SUICIDE
DESPoNDENcY OVER FINANCIAL
LOSSES THE CAUSE.
Was a Son Of Late Samuel o'Hara
and Brother Of Ralph o'Hara
of oskaloosa.

Clovis, N. NJ, May 2.-George e
oHara, formerly of Cairo, ILL.,, former
grand commander Of the Illinois Ma
sons, decorated by foreign lord, and
once very wealthy, committed suicide
yesterday.
The above special telegram which
appeared in the Chicago Record.Her,
aid this morning, refers to a former
oskaloosa boy, son of the late Sam
uel O'Hara, of this city. This press
report also was the first news of the
tragedy that reached the family and
came as crushing blow to relatives
and friends. George O'Hara was a
druggist by profession, but he was in
terested in big lumber deals and other
enterprises. About two years ago he
failed for $25o,000 and since that time
he has been very Respondent. His
relatives have helped him all they
could and gave him every encourage
ment possible. but it would seem that
the burden was more than he could
carry.
No further particulars could be
learned today, but the family has TAX
en- steps to get full account of the
sad affair.

SHOOTING ACCIDENTAL
Done by Young Boy Having Danger.
GUS Habit Of Carrying Gun.

Rose Hill, April 30.--The shooting
incident at Rose Hill few days ago
in which Mrs. Lewis Stewart narrowly
escaped being shot at the Arthur
Fowler home has been solved and the
mystery surrounding the affair has
been cleared. No prosecutions of the
parties guilty of the act will be made,
as 1t was purely accidental and the
young man who did the shooting has
been sufficiently punished.
The investigation that followed the
affair resulted in locating young
man of well known and highly re
spected family of the vicinity as the
author of the deed. He is boy of
fourteen years of age who had a great
desire to carry gun. He found
means to procure the weapon and
was carrying it without the knowledge
of his father. Carrying gun is no
fun unless one Is permitted to use it
now and then, and if one does not
use gun how is one to know how to
shoot correctly in case of need? This
argument played through the mind OF
the boy and was his defense for his
having possession of so dangerous a
play thing.
The young fellow when confronted
with the evidences of his guilt con
fessed that he did the shooting but
denied any malice or willful intent to
do injury to any one. He did not
know that Mrs. Stewart was standing
in the doorway when he was going
past the house. He says he was shoot
ing at a dog and did not intend tc
shoot in the direction of the house
He was greatly surprised when told
that the bullets from his gun had
Istrnck the Fowler house. Three shots
were fired and each one of the bullets
struck quite near to where Mrs. Stew
art was standing. That Mrs. Stewart
was not hurt was most fortunate fol
the shots hit on both sides of the
door in which she was standing. Il
is the wish OF Mrs. Stewart that the
name of the young man is not made
public and the matter. will be drop

Roadmaster Killed.

Harvey, April 30.-Specisl: Thos.
Logue, roadmaster of the Albia-Dcs
Moines division of the Wabash, was
Injured yesterday near Harvey. The
injuries received as result of the
accident were fatal and he died a
few hours afterward Mr.. Logue left
Harvey in his gasoline motor car,
going north. When about one.fourth
of mile north he was struck by
southbound passenger. He was
thrown several feet in the air and fell
to one side OF the track. The train
was stopped and the injured man
picked up. At Harvey he was placed
in charge of DR.. Thompson, who took
him to Abba by the same train. At
Abba they were joined by the rail-
road company's doctor, but all at.
tempts to save his life we're fruitless.
He died shortly Gfter their arrival
His injuries were such that death
would come in spite of medical atten-
ton. One arm was mashed as re-
suit of the awful force with which
he was hit. One leg was also injured
and it is probable that he was injured
internally. l.
Railroad men are at a loss to &C.
count for Mr.. LOgue's action in leav.
ing Harvey directly in the path of the
train. His knowledge of the running
time of the trains was complete and
he certainly knew that he was going
directly toward the train. The only
possible solution to the mystery is
that the train being about Is minutes
late, Mr.. Logue took it for granted
that the train had passed through
Harvey.
