! shot himself to death about $50
Sunday morning in the garage at

found until this morning
Woods left no note Oh letter OF

Woods' friends ascribe his Pc
culiarities, which have been grow
ing mere pronounced ever since his
elec ton to this office two years ago,
to the effects of a blow which he
received over the head in Chicago
several years ago as a result of po-
litical feud. The fight took place
down town and 1t was alleged that
Representative John ]. Mclaughlin
struck the blow. Suit for damages
was brought but the difficulties
were settled out of court.

that some of the officials or employees,
while probably not wishing to side

We're little slow in making such pay
ment. The instructions Of the cour-

simply to proceed with those collec-
