 a few hundred men with artillery : to point northwest of the city.
 These guns dominated the ancient castle of Chapultepec, but in-
 stead of shelling the old castle, they were held in readiness to strike the federals flank or rear. American Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson pulp lished a warning to all Americans not to go unnecessarily into the danger zone. From hundreds of buildings 1 floated the flags of foreign nations and early in the day a crowd of for | eigners congregated with their consuls

 On the matter of care of tubercu- lar patients, the supervisors agreed to let that remain in the hands of the state.
 Barney Stiles of Navajo tried to get a resolution through in endorsement of Reese Ling for secretary of the interior, but the other members all contended the board is not poll- tical body and that it would not be seemly to pass such a resolution.
 The meeting was enlivened by the presence of Hon. Thomas N. Wills from Mammoth in Pinal and II. J- Cray of Coconino county, both Of whom are ardent good roads boosters.

 Beyond that issued by the American ambassador, practically no warning was given to the non-combatants to retire to places of safety.
 As a matter of fact it is impossible to mark the limitations of the danger zone As the battle proceeded shells intended for the enemy four blocks away often found Judgment in houses one mile, and two miles distant. Rifle bullets flew from the center to the circumference of the capital making

SUICIDED
BY HANGING
Ivan ". SyIGf OfNGaf AnknGy-
town Takes His Life
In A Spring House Near
Home Saturday
Had Been 10 III-Health For
Several Months
And His Mind Became
Temporarily Deranged
Deceased Left A Wife And
Two Young Children

Ankneytown. Ohio, Dec. 15-The
body of Ivan w. SyIer, aged 81 years,
was found hanging at the end of
rope In the loft of the spring house
at the SyIer home four miles south
east of this place Saturday evening.
Coroner v. L. Fisher of Mt. Vernon
was called Immediately and pro-
nounced death by suicide. The only
motive for the act that can be at
tributed was III health. SyIer leaves
a wife and was the father of two
children.
For several months he had been
suffering with spinal trouble. He had
been under the care Of a physician
for some time, but could get little
relief. His condition continued to
grow slowly worse and the probabil-
ity is that his mind became tempor-
arily deranged at the time he took
his life. He had been unable to take
care of his work properly on the
farm for several weeks and seemed
to brood for long periods at time
over his physical condition.
On Saturday afternoon he left the
house at about 3 o'clock and went
out into the yard. AS he had been in
the habit of staying by himself and
seemed to wish to be alone at times,
little attention was paid to him when
he left the house. After several hours
had elapsed and he did not return,
Mrs. Syler began to grow alarmed
and summoned Mr.. Cecil Hazelett and
Mr.. Alvy Bechtel, neighbors. 1t was
growing dark by this time.
Lanterns were lighted and hunt
about the premises was begun. The
barn was searched without avail and
the searchers also failed to find him
in any of the small outbuildings
about the barn. AS last resort, the
spring house was entered, but moth
ing unusual was found excepting
traces that indicated some one had
been in the building during the after
noon. The men ascended the ladder
leading into the loft of the small
building and there the rays of their
lanterns fell upon the body of the
dead man. He had tied one end Of a
rope about one of the rafters in the
roof. After making moose in the
other end, he had managed to climb
upon supports high enough to slip
the moose over his head. Evidently,
he had kicked the supports from
under his feet after doing this and
had strangled to death in a short time
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1913-12-16

He was dead when discovered and
probably had been dead for several
hours. IL is believed that he secured
the rope and went directly to the
spring house Immediately after leav-
ing the house at about o'clock in
the afternoon. He left no letter or
note to his family.
Syler had expressed a desire on
numerous occasions during the past
few weeks to talk about death and
the hereafter He had talked upon
those subjects to several persons re-
siding in the neighborhood of his
home. While little Importance was
attached to this at the time, it is
now believed that he had been con-
templating suicide for some time and
was trying to work up enough cour-
age to do the deed. AS far as could
be learned, Syler had no reasons,
other than failing health, for having
taken his life.
Besides his wife and two children
he is survived by his mother, Mrs.
S. s. Syler, two brothers and four
sisters. The remains were taken to
his mothers home in Ankneytown
Monday morning. The funeral will
be held there Tuesday at IL o'clock,
Rev. Edward Shepfer officiating. In
terment at Ankneytown.
