From Fridays Daily.

From fridays Daily.
Theodore Haroldson, a well known
Freeborn county farmer, committed
suicide at his farm in Nunda town
ship about nine o'clock Thursday
morning. by shooting himself In the
head with twenty-five calibre rifle.
and died while being taken to the
Naeye hospital. IL Is thought that f.
nancial troubles caused his act.
Mr.. Haroldson worked In the field
all day Wednesday seeding, then did
his chores, and retired about his usual
hour. Shortly after breakfast the fol-
lowing morning he went out to the
barn, and about nine o'clock, when
his eight year old daughter. Palma,
opened the granary door she found
him lying on the floor with the rife at
his side. She ran 70 the house and
notified her mother. who telephoned
to Albert Lea for physician, and 10
neighbors for assistance.
When Mrs. Haroldson went 10 her
husbands assistance she found him
still alive. and he seems to recognize
her and their daughter, Palma. Partly
raising his head he asked his wife
to read the Bible to him. and she got
the book and read the twenty third
chapter of Psalms. Then he asked her
to pray for him. and seemed to I'M
derstand when she did so. When the
physicians arrived they advised his
removal to the hospital, and he was
lifted into wagon and made as COM
Portable as possible, but lapsed into
Inconsistencies and died before
reaching the city. Coroner Won Berg
was called and after an examination
of the premises and the body, he pro-
nounced death due to a rife wound
inflicted by the deceased's own hands.
Mr.. Hafoldson leaves a wife and four
children.
