SHAVER SHOOTS SELF.
Fairmont Policeman Suicide After Re.
celving Mortal Wounds.

Fairmont, w. Va.-Strange and per.
haps without parallel was the man.
ner Of the death of J. Otis Shaver,
veteran policeman at Monongah.
Shaver had gone alone to labor camp
10 arrest Jim Wiernan, wanted for
several months for assault on fellow
Italian. He had taken his man and
was leaving the camp, when Joe
Wiernan, a brother, came to the res
cue, and in the fight that followed,
Shaver was shot twice by Joe Wier-
nan, both bullets passing through the
back. The two Wiernans escaped,
and when another officer, Warren
Davis, appeared, he found Shaver ly-
ing on the ground, bleeding but still
conscious.
Davis, am all In" cried Shaver,
and without another word he pulled
cut his own revolver and sent a bull
let crashing through his brain. Death
was instantaneous.
Shaver's frequently expressed hor.
Tor Of suffering is said to have been
the reason Of his killing himself. He
undoubtedly believed he was MORALLY
injured, and physicians who have ex-
amined the wounds say he was right
In his belief. He is survived by a wife
and four children.

Tlme-savlnq SUGGESTION.

When the weekly wash comes UP
from the laundry, take the clothes that
need mending and find patches OF the
material, yarn to darn with, or what
ever is necessary to mend with. and
pin the pieces to the article to be
mended. then put them aside In a
drawer or sewing bag until you have
time TO sit down quietly and sew. Hay-
ing everything ready, you will be sur
prised at the amount you can do at
one sitting. BY this method the week

And sings the canned sardine.
