FREMONT MAN 1.
HANGS HIMSELF
M. Burr Lee Prominent Citizen Of
County Ends Life.
SUFFERED FROM AP0PLEXY
He Arose as Usual This Morning &c
Do Chores, Going to the Barn
Where He Adjusted a Rope and
Strangled to Death.

Fremont, Ia, Sept. 19.-Special: M.
b. Lee, an old and highly respected
citizen and business man of this place
and we'll known throughout the coun.
ty, aged 60, and the father of five
children, killed himself in his barn
here this morning, by hanging. The
dead body was found about six O'Clock
this morning by his son-in-law, j. G.
Newell, who lives near by. Medical
attention was hurried to the man, but
to no purpose, as he had been dead
several minutes.
Self destruction was no doubt com
mitted while the man was in de,
mented condition. His mental state
was such that he has been constantly
watched by members of the family
as fear of self violence existed. The
mental condition responsible for the
act resulted from a stroke of apo,
plexy suffered about one year ago
since which time the man has not
been in full possession of his facul
ties. He was i'll for long time and
when he was able to get out his
friends noted strange mental condi
ton that made him laxative, but al
ways goOd-humored This condition
was suddenly changed about two
weeks ago when the man became mel
ancholy and morose. He was less
active and did not care to frequent
his customary haunts. Another
stroke was feared and the man was
closely watched to prevent accident
His condition was the cause of un
easiness among his friends and mem,
bers of the family.
Nothing unusual was anticipated
however, this morning as he arose at
his usual time, after five o'clock, and
started to attend to morning chores
and work about the house. He went
to the barn supposedly to milk the
COWS a little before six o'clock, as
was his usual custom. Circum.
stances and appearances show the
man entered the building, took a
rope, went into the hayloft, stood up,
on the head of a barrel, while he ad-
juSted the moose about his neck and
secured the end over rafter. Then
kicking the barrel out from under
his feet he hung suspended. Death
soon followed from strangulation.
The deceased leaves a widow, four
sons, A. B., of Carthage, South Da
kota; c. E.. of Abba; Earl L.. of New,
ton, and A. N, of Salem, Missouri
Mrs. Newell of Fremont is the only
daughtef
Burr Lee was one of the best known
men in southeast Mahaska He was
for years operating a furniture store
and handling general merchandise to
some extent. He was prominent in
home and county affairs. He was a
republican in political faith and was
prominent in local politics. He has
attended state and county conven
tions almost without number and his
name was as familiar in township at
fairs as that OF the governor in the
state house. His untimely death will
be regretted by old time friends and
acquaintanCeS.
Coroner Eugene M. Cheesman was
summoned as soon as the body was
pronounced dead by attending physi
clan. Having examined into the cir
cumstances in connection with the
case the coroner did not consider an
inquest necessary.

Science and Art.

Science and art are in spirit the
same. and they must be pursued with
the same ardor. The scientist, like
the artist, must be ready to do any
thing and go anywhere to get in
touch with masters in his chosen field
He must deem no sacrifice OF time or
money too great to secure a real mas,
terry of the technique of his profes
sion. 1t is through weakness in tech
niuue that much of our science pre-
sents so amateurish an appearance

UNUSUAL PLAN TO

Deaf Mute to Read From Lips
What Manager Says to

James Callahan, of the Chicago Amer
leans. has cast aside an ofr6r which,
If everything was justifable in base
ball, he believes would surely bring
the 1912 pennant to his team,
1t was an offer yesterday from a
deaf mute, who claimed to be an adept
in lip reading.
Il have a scheme which will make
your team pennant winners next sea-
son." was the sentence written on n
card and placed before the manager.
This Is interesting at least" said
the manager to his visitor.
Then a few motions of the fingers
explained to the South Side leader that
the man with the pennant In his grasp
could not talk
In short time the manager was d.
costing the scheme, for his caller haa
1t already written out. 1t explained
that tho pennant could be easily won
by allowing tho mute. with a strong
pair of field glasses, to take a position
near the field or undor the grandstand.
BY the aid Of the glasses he would read
the lips Of the manager while talking
to his men between innings and the
players on the field in whispered con-
verSations.
Then by the aid of an electrical con-
trivance connected with tho home bench
and "A code OF signals he could let 1t be
known just exactly what kind of a
game and what tricks the visitors were
about 10 come out with.
Callahan wrote this answer: mo
doubt your plan would prove winnin; {;
one. but baseball is an honest game.
