take his life with carbolic acid but was prevent
ed by his father. Last Thursday his father left
him alone in the house about sunset to call
upon neighbor, and on his return about half
past six found his son dead with bullet wound
just above the right ear. He was AZ years of
age the son of Charles e. and the late Ella
Richards Thomas, and is survived by his father
