is an experience that has come to Mrs.
G.. a., Ernst. of Humboldt. Kan,
daughter Of the late Albert Holcomb,
of Vienna township who, a week ago
Sunday, blew his head off with a shot
gun after setting fire to a corn crib
which he selected as the scene of the
Holcomb penned his last letter to
his daughter three days before his
death. The letter was mailed here
and sent to Humboldt, but the daugh-
ter left there, SUNNI oned by her faith
er's death, before. she received the
missive. The letter was held at Hum
boldt for time and then forwarded
to Mrs. Ernst in care of her father s
address here.
In his letter Mr.. Holcomb addresse d
his daughter in the most endearing and
comforting terms. 1.-The boat has about
run to Shore" he wrote, land you will
soon have to take the paddle" After
admonishing his daughter to hold fast
to what he had saved for her, and NOT
let any one get the property away from
her, Mr.. Holcomb gave several direc-
tons as to the burial of his horses
when they should die. Bury old Ned
up on the hill with the rest of the fam
ily," he wrote. And there old Ned will
be laid to rest when he has served out
his few remaining years of usefulness.
Mr.. Holcomb loved his dumb friends,
and several of his horses, who had done
him years of service, are buried ION
the hilr' where hes wants old Ned to
rest. Mr.. Holconb closed his letter
with the remark. when you get this
letter will be dead"
After a careful search of the Hol-
comb home it was believed that Mr..
Holcomb's watch, which the daughter
was anxious to find, had been picked
up by some one. The other day, how
ever, Mrs. Ernst's little daughter. while
playing in closet, exclaimed suddenly
Why here's Grapdpa's vest" The
watch was found in the vest pocket.
The vest had been hung on the inner
knob of the closet door, and whenever
the door was open the vest was against
the wall and away from view. Several
certificates of deposit for funds in bank
were also found among Mr.. Holcomb's
effects.
