Thursday morning when: n q. Myrick
jr, the owner went % tho skating rink
and tried to open the side door that
leads to the little ell which covers the
we'll and heating apparatus for water,
he found the door obstruc cd by some
thing on the inside. Going around to
the door on the outside he attempted to
open that door and was only able to
push it in few inches owing to the
same obstruction, but it opened far
enough to show the dead body Of
Roland Munro in a sitting position With
a 80 calibre revolver lying between his
legs. Later examination showed that
Munro had shot himself through the
head, the bullet just coming through
and lodging under the skin. His
position between the two doors blocking
one entirely and the other nearly, proved
beyond question that it was a case Of
suicide. The young man had evidently
been contemplating the deed for some
days as he told number of persons
that he was going away and would
probably never return, and also told
others that he would shoot himself
some of these days, but these were
mostly his young companions who
thought he was just bluffing and had
no serious thought of killing himsalf.
He spent the previous evening skating
at the rink until the closing hour. He
was undoubtedly deranged. He was
abou, % years of age and was born at
st. Vincent where his parents still re.
side. He has brother. Bruce Munro,
who lives in this city. DR.. Harris
viewed the remains and reported the
to The coroner who
decided an inquest unnecessary and the
were turned over to relatives
et st. Vincent Thursday noon.

On Saturday night Will Mcfarland
went to the barn to attend to his stock,
leaving a lighted lamp on the table. AS
no one was in the house during his
absence, it is not known just what
occurred, but it is supposed that the
lamp exploded as when Mr.. Mcfarland
returned to the house the room was
full Of smoke and the table and some
other furniture was in flames. By
prompt action he succeeded in putting
out the fire before much damage was
done to the walls and is congratulating

George Bertram and Fritz Kir-
choff engaged in combat Thurs
aay of last week In which Bertram
received sixteen cuts, several bad
gashes In the abdomen and sto-
mach. Drs. Tyler and Schrelman
worked all night sewing up cuts
and gashes.
They are neighbors living a
mile and a half southeast OF Con-
cordia. II seems that both were
coming from town on that day
and when about half n mile from
town trouble began. Bertram, who
was armed with a spade handle
challenged Kirchotf to fight II out
and Kirchoff promptly accepted.
Bertram knocked Kirchon down
In the first round, but before Ber-
tram knew II Kirchoff was up a
gain and on top of him. They roll
ed into n ditch, Kirchoff using
his knife with deadly effect. AZ
ter Kirchoff thought he had kill
ed Bertram, he rode up to a man
who was blowing some distance
away and told him to go and at
tend to him that he was dying.
Years ago Mr.. Kirchon gain
quite a reputation rs fighter
in licking the Boyles gang who
came to Concordia before that
town was incorporated and paint
ed the town red, and later in the
combat with Tom Elsea, in which
he cut Elsea's throat nearly bleed
ing him to death, for which he
served a short Jail sentence.
Mr.. Bertram no doubt m~isjudged
Kirchoff's fighting abilities and
thought Kirchoff was getting to
be an old man and he himself
learned modern warfare under VIII
helm.

they haven't made a dollar. The
reason must lie with the farmer him

Has he met his patrons at the depot
with an automobile?
Has he at least four windows in
every sleeping apartment?
Has he brass bedsteads, hair mat
tresses and f1y-screens?
Are crabs, Holsters and spring

Has he croquet, tennis and golf
