GREAT SHOCK
Prominent Eastern Man, Badly
involved, Tssk 0wnL ife

West Chester, Pa, Aug. Nothing
in the history of this country has
created such wide spread feeling
of sorrow and depression among its
residents as the suicide of Col. Glib
bons Gray Cornwell. soldier and
awyer, who ended his life last night
on Pennsylvania railroad train while
to answer the charge of misappro-
priating the funds of an estate Of
which he was trustee.
1t is probable had he had the heart
to face the charges friends and reIa-
ttVes would have come to his rescue
and he would have ben helped in his
involved position.
A meeting of merchants and profes-
sional men was held yesterday at
which plans to aid Cornwell were dis
cussed.
Mrs. Cornwell is in state of physi-
cal collapse, and the sympathy of the
community has gone out to her and to
her four small children.
Capt. r. T. Cornwell, the aged faith
er of the suicide Is also in a state
of collapse.
The suicide of Cornwell developed
the fact that he contemplated fleeing
the country at the time of his ar
rest. In Cornwell's pockets We're found
number of steamship sailing lists,
and other literature containing In
formation about foreign trips.
The body was brought here today
from Philadelphia. Arthur B. Reed,
attorney for the Darlington estate of
which the suicide was trustee, places
the shortage at anywhere from $685.
600 to $150,0O0. A complete investi-
cation is to be amde at once.
Cornwell had charge of trust funds
and estates valued at $225, 900.

Sheriff GIaum Of Becker county,
Minnesota, who was shot through the
knee while attempting to catch a
chicken thief at Detroit about four
weeks ago, was brought to Fargo yes
terday and taken to st. Lukes hos

The sheriff was under the care of
local physicians at Detroit and was
improving rapidly when infection set
in and it was decided to remove him
to Fargo Immediately. He was re-
