SUICIDES
FRIDAY
Ed Ferguson Kills Self Some
Time Friday Evening Us
ing a Shotgun.
Despondency Prompts Well Known
Citizen To Take His Own Life
While Alone In House.

Ed Ferguson, well known in this
hands some time Friday evening.
His remains were found Saturday
evening by his brother Bish, who
lives nearby the scene of the unfor-
tunate mans self destruction. In
vestigation followed by Sheriff j. C.
Coniff and Coroner T. A. Jones, and
a specially empanelled jury, which
determined fully what are apparent
facts surrounding the case.
The deceased was last seen in Fal-
Ion Friday morning shortly before
noon. Leaving town he made his
way to the ranch, belonging to Mrs.
c. b. Ferguson. which he was con-
Quoting, the place being about two
and one-half miles south of Fallon
adjoining the farm of his brother
| Bish. Late Friday afternoon he was
seen attending to stock near his
house. This was the last time he
was seen alive. Late Saturday even-
ing his brother Bish and wife, fear
ing for his safety, made their way
to his abode, where in the dim twi-
light of the evening, the tragedy was
Enfolded The sheriff's office was
notified and later the coroner's office,
jury being empanelled which re-
turned a verdict of suicide, the in
strument used being a 16-guage shot
gun, which was held close to the
chin. Very obviously, the deceased
had sprung the trigger with his toes,
his every preparation leading up to
the act, having been made with de-
liberateness, and with self destruc-
tion in mind. No word of any kind
was left and financial affairs did not
figure in the premeditations leading
up to the tragedy The only con-
clusion that can be formed is that the
deceased took his own life while suf-
fering from insanity.
The funeral services occurred Sun
day afternoon at 4:30 and were held
under the auspices of the Knights of
Pythias, of which deceased was a
member. Interment was had in the
lodge plot at Fallon cemetery. Rev.
|. E. Price spoke briefly at the grave
side.
Deceased was the eldest of three
boys, residents of this section for
many years, and would have been 80
years of age had he lived until No.
vember 18th. He was never mar
ried. As a child in arms he came
to this valley from Windsor, Cal,
with his father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. B, Ferguson, the latter pass
| ing away in his early childhood, the
father preceding him to the great
beyond some l D years ago. Together
with Frank and Bish, the surviving
brothers, and Mrs. c. B. Ferguson,
the stepmother, the deceased worked
