reached Meade that Joe Latscher

southeast of Meade had been
found in the granary at his bro
theirs home, unconscious with a
self-inflicted bullet wound in his

tanned for his recovery and about

health for several months and It
is thought that his intense suf'
fering had unbalanced his mind.

other than iii health, can be as
signed for his rash act.
