appeared he was rigldly questioned,
but the secret service men had Moth
ing on him." He was removed from
the treasury and entered the insurance
business. Since then Fitzgerald has
prospered and he has been active in the
organization of several corporations of
large capital Government sleuths
have looked for the thousand dollar
bills and currency of other denomina :
tons, the numbers of which they have

been found.

On Monday word was received
announcing the death of DR.. f.
A. Campbell at Monrovia, Cal
ifornia, where he had gone with
the hope of improving his health
and although the end was mo-
mentarily expected, it came as a
shock to the entire community.

February, 1878, passing away on
March IS, 1912. He received a
business education at Galesburg,

from the college of Physicians
and Surgeons of Chicago, in 1902.
A couple of years after leav-
ing school he came to Grange

devoting his time to the practice
of his chosen profession in which
he excelled.
In February, 1904, he was unit
ed in marriage to Nerna David,
daughter of f. A. David, Of Mos
COW, Idaho, and by whom, with
their little daughter Helen, he IS
survived. also by mother, sister
and brother. :,
In the death of DR.. Campbell
this community has lost one OF
its most highly esteemed citizens,
a man who was always among the
first in enterprise and public pro
gress. as well as in matters OF
charity and kindly assistance to
his less fortunate fellow man. In
his profession he ranked high,
and as a father and husband he
was kind. loving and liberal even

vacant in this community by his
death. will not be soon fllled.
While we as friends feel the loss
heavily. what must the burden OF
grief be under which the wife anS

Deputy Sheriff Charles Thomp-
son returned from Keuterville
last Friday from a several days
fruitless search for j. w. Watts,
who disappeared on February
10Th from the home of his broth
er-in-law some four miles south
west of Keuterville, and has not
since been heard from. The miss
ing man left the house at 7
O'Clock in the morning, and be-
fore going took his purse, watch
and spectacles out of his pock-
ct. The belief is that Watts.
who was a man of Ga years, had
become temporarily deranged and
drowned himself in the Salmon
river, and this theory of his dis
appearance is sustained by the
fact that Deputy Thompson and
the posse of men who assisted
him in the search, clearly track
ed Watts to the river and across
sandbar, where all traces end
ed. Mr.. Watts and wife and
daughter, it is said, recently

county can draw as m lch support

statement the Globe is not dis
posed to take issue. IF Mr.. Cas-

he stands a good show for the

ENDS HIS LIFE
WITH GUN SHOT
n. C. Eckermann, Near Cot
tonwood, Suffering From
Ill Health, Suicides.

FL. G.. Eckerman, well-to-do
farmer living near Cottonwood,
took his own life on last Thurs
day afternoon, the rash deed, it
is believed being caused by de-
spondency over i'll health. Cor
oner III. b. Blake, who with DIR.
Shinnick went to the home east
of Cottonwood and viewed the
remains pronounced an inquest
unnecessary, as it was a clear
case of suicide. The Chronicle
in its account of the sad affair
says:
The deceased had spent the
evening before with his family
and some friends and seemed in
his usual good spirits. The next
morning he did his usual work
about the place and conversed
with his sons about certain farm
work and intended improvements.
Shortly after two O'Clock he
entered the kitchen and drank
some coffee, as he frequently
did during the day. His wife
was in the dining room and heard
him enter and leave the room
but paid no attention to the occur
renee. On leaving the house the
deceased took the rifle, an old
style Springfield Of 50-70 calibre,
from the wall and stepped into
workshop nearby where he evil
IDENTIFY sat down on block and
placing the muzzle of the gun
against his breast, pulled the trig-
ger with stick or some similar
object and was blown into eter-
nifty. The bullet entered the
breast just below the breast bone
and ranged upward, coming out
at the left shoulder. Death was
practically instantaneous. The
members of the family heard the
muffled noise of the shot but
thought it was caused by falling
wood. A short time later they
had occasion to enter the shop
and found the father lying in
pool of his own blood.
Herman G. Eckermann was
native of Holstein, Germany, and
was sixty years of age last Octo-
ber. He had been a resident of
this place for the past twelve
or fourteen years and owned one
of the most valuable and well
improved farms in Idaho county.
For the past several years he has
been in poor health much of the
time and it is thought this is
greatly responsible for his rash
act. In fact, when in town Sat
urday he stated to a friend that
if he thought he would have to
continue suffering as he had been
lately for the rest of his life he
would soon end it all. He was
an honest upright citizen and
good neighbor and has been look
ed on as one of the solid, sub
stantial citizens of this commun-
ity. He was the father of a
large family of children, most
of whom are grown. He was
well provided for with this
worlds goods, owning 440 acres
of valuable land, much stock and
machinery as well as money on
hand.
