into effect when he drew a revolver and
shot himself through the temple. while at

Day exercises here on June /, Kerns kept
a stand, and 1t is known that he lost a
considerable sum at that time.
Earlier in the day he remarked to
friend. Il am going to shoot myself but
his friend, thinking that he was merely
joking. paid no heed to the warning.
Kerns had just finished his supper and
had gone up to his room at o'clock,
when his family heard the report of a
revolver. They found Kerns on the floor
unconscious. He died a few moments

ent and several brothers and sisters and

ing built up a considerable business by his
