SLASHED THROAT WITH RAZOR
George I. Horn Well Known Citizen Believed to Have Been Demented. When Mad Act Was Committed
Special to The. ,FarmerA

I T.l
 Southport, July 11-Everyone in town received a shock yesterday when it was announced that George T. Horn
 had succeeded in killing himself with razor at his home on Sasco Hill. He had evidently planned the act de- liberately and perhaps had been thinking of it for months. At two o'clock Henry Horn brother of the suicide found a note on the dining table telling where his body could be found and signifying his regret at the act which he explained was caus- ed by insomnia. After writing the note George went to the barn where he prepared a bed from blankets and sacks. Deliberately stretching himself upon this improvised couch he drew blankets about his face and made two deep slashes in his throat with the razor. All the veins and arteries on each side of his throat were severed and he could have lived only a few minutes after the act. After the dis covery his brother Henry telephoned for assistance and Dr. Hetzel and Joseph Lee neighbor were the first on the ground. The position of the body indicated that death came from exhaustion and loss of blood and that there was no struggle. George T. Horn was 52 years of age and we'll known in this vicinity He was un- married and lived with his father and brother Henry at the homestead on Sasco Hill. He was exceptionally bright and capable man. He had ac- cumulated a modest fortune and en- joyed the income from it until few years ago when he made some un- fortunate investments in mining stocks. It is believed that the great CT part of his fortune was lost in these speculations. His father an ag- ed man recently left the home on the hill to pass an extended period with his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Sher- man in Southport. It is believed that the intense heat magnified the trou- bles of the suicide and that his mind gave way under the strain. The schooner Sally w. Ponder is at the dock receiving the remainder the wood consigned to parties in New York. Capt. James Brown and Capt. l Johnson with several assistants are putting the cargo aboard. The in 1 tense heat yesterday interfered with the work and it was carried on at | night by moonlight.

Trained Pleas
 Performing In
 Moving Pictures

! Everybody remembers the trained f1eas that Barnum used to have, but nobody who isn't old enough believes there ever were any such animals. There were, however, and there is a sad tradition that the man who own ed them committed suicide when somebody smashed the glass prison within which they did stunts and the f1eas escaped More recently the agent told of some trained f1eas he had They got away and took to the chorus girls. Alack aday!
 Now the trained flea is coming in to his own once more. The flea ir very intelligent. He can be taught to do a lot of things. In consequence he has joined forces with Sarah Bern hardt. Lawrence Irving, Eleanra Duse 70, please be good! Not literally. Of course not literally-in performing before the moving picture machine for the benefit of the multitude.
 The film makes the spectacle of the performing f1eas accessible to as large crowd as a theatre will accommo- datt. whereas formerly only one per son at a time could view the circus, and then only with the aid of a micro scope.
 The reel, which is said to be unique of it's kind, is 1000 feet long, and takes 21 minutes to run through the machine
 The fleas, under the skillful and patient training of an expert, were taught to walk the slack wire, turn omersaults. pull tiny vehicles, etc.; and the spectator. watching the re- production of these tricks on the screen, is apt to forget entirely any previous quaintance-possibly of a disa greea ble nature-he may have had with the performers or others of their kind, in contemplation of their truly wonderful feats. When it is rememb bered that the flea. is less than one-eighth inches in length and that 1t appears from one and one half to several inches long on the screen. some idea of the magnifica- ton can be obtained.
