she went to the neighbors for
help and a search was Instituted,

in stall in the barn where he
had choked himself to death with
a small cord.

was plainly evident that death
had occurred several days before.

one end to a two-by-four in the
corner of a stall and making a
moose of the other end, placed il
around his neck and dropped tc
his knees, thus choking himself
to death.
