A FATAL BLUFF
Drunken Indian at Flundreau
Threatens Suicide and
Succeeds

Flandreau, Nov. 25.-A suicide took
place near here a day CT two ago which
has caused considerable talk. The vic.
tim was John Cavendar, a half breed,
who was q worthless soft of a fellow.
He would not properly care for his
family ard got drunk on every occasion
offered A day or two ago. he went
home intoxicated and had some trouble
with his wife and threatened 20 COM
init suicide. Little attention was
paid to his threat even after he dis.
played a rope in front of his wife, as
he had made similar threats on many
previous occasions. He disappeared
from the house, and the next thing
heard his body was found hanging from
the limb of a tree not a great distance
from the home.
1t is the general opinion that the
suicide was an accident. 1t is claimed
that Cavendar before going to the
place where his body was found,
secured a large butcher knife, and it
is the theory that he intended to
make a bluff at hanging himself and
If no n came to his rescue that he
would use the knife in cutting the
rope.
When found one end of the rope was
attached to n limb of the tree and
was passed over another limb and the
knife was on the ground just below
the body. 1t is believed that in some
manner Cavendar fell from the limb
before he was ready and that the knife
fell from his hands and the suicide
became a reality instead of a joke.

services, and especially on
conference meetings. Uncle
Buck was a staunch Free Mason
and always attended his lodge
meetings and took an active part
in all of the lodge work. He
was always ready to help the
sick and needy and poor. and
was ready to contribute to all
charitable calls. Most especially
did he take a delight in mission
work and to help the Gospel
cause. Uncle Buck was known
and respected by everybody; was
a heightened, honorable gentle
man; to know him was to love
him. He was taken sick on
March End while at church and
went from church home with
one of his old church and Mason
brothers, ]. A. Mears, and got
violently worse. and died on 6 of

Where would | find any one who
could even write good prose po-
etry, much less the genuine ar
ticle, which would soothe the dy-

calm his troubled breast
On, since l have been chosen

my mind and heart and | would

"Happy is the man thatfindeth wisdom

For the merchandise of it is better

And the gain thereof than fine gold.
