Farmer Commits
Suicide Saturday
Fred Barsch Of Three Lakes,
Hangs Himself to Beam, of
Granary
DEPENDENCY is CAUSE
Is Discovered by Wife and
Neighbor After Several
Hours Absence

Hours Absence
Fred Barsch, a farmer of
Three Lakes township, commit
ted suicide by hanging early Sat-
urday morning. The lifeless body
was found by Mrs. Barsch and
a neighbor, hanging from a beam
in the granary, at about eight
o'clock. It was impossible to
determine just how long life has
been extinct, but all efforts at
resuscitation were fruitless.
Coroner F. w. Brey of Wabasso
was called, and pronounced a
verdict of death through strang-
ulation, the evidence showing
clearing that the victim had
taken his own life.
Barsch was a man past thir-
ty-four years of age, and is sur
vived by his wife and two small
children. Saturday morning he
rose at four-thirty o'clock start
ed a fire in the kitchen range
and left the house. His wife
supposed he was doing the morn
ing's work about the barn and
when he failed to appear, she,
in company with the neighbor,
started a search. After some
little time they went to the
granary and found the body. No
work had been done and it is be-
lieved the deed had been done
soon after Barsch left the house.
The motive for the deed lay,
supposedly, in some disagree
ment between Barsch and the
owner of the farm on which he
lived. The Barsch family have
lived on this farm for several
years and are greatly attached
to it. Recently the owner in
| formed Barsch that he must va
cate the farm next fall and he
had become very morose over
the matter. While this may not
have been the real motive it is
only possible reason so far found.
