FRANK ELDRl ICE COMMITS SUI
 CIDE.

Frank Eldridge, age aooi5 35 rears, committed suici3o at G. Fcn. . his father, on Route Z, e e.y Wednesday morning, by sending the bullet of P thru his head, the cause being attribut- ed to momentary insanity.
 At one time about four years ago while Frank was working in the west his health became poor and his mind becaa d7mented for time, and the above act N.5 ptemedi tated, but he was brought to his fathers home and nursed back to health and happiness, and has since been an attentive work hand about the place, and only a few days ago he was at town and talked freely about signing up to go to war.
 It is thot by his relatives that an at tack of his old trouble was approaching and because of his extreme sensitive ness of the matter that he became suddenly insane before he committed the awful deed.
 It was noticed by some member of the family that it was past time for Frank to be up and helping with the morning chores. His mother went to his room up stairs to see if he was sick and found him dead in the floor. It is thot he had not been dead so very long from the fact that the father, who was out not so very far from the house, had heard the report of gun, but not suspecting anything of such nature thot nothing about it.
 Frank was highly respected young man and was a member of one of the best and most highly respected fami- lies in the county. His remains will be laid to rest in the Carrollton cemetery Friday afternoon.
