NEUROLOGICAL.

The whole. community was shocked, last
Saturday afternoon, when the report was
given out that Joe Stuart, of Isabella, had
shot and mortally wounded himself The
deceased had been in bad health for sew
eral years and was cognizant of fhe fact
that his malady was incurable. The shoot
ing occurred about ! O'Clock p. m. add he
fingered until about A a. m. The shot, a
IA calibre, entered thebody just below the
heart and passed out on the right side.
He had been heard to express the wish
that he was dead on several occasions,
but no one dreamed that he would COM
nit the rash deed of killing himself.
1t is said he was obsessed of the idea
that if he was dead that his son, who would
then be the support of his mother, would
moi have to 60 to war. This may have
been the motive for the deed, for he talked
a great deal about it.
Joe was one of the best known men in
the Basin and his friends were legion. He
was man of his word, upright in all his
dealings and he will be sadly missed.
He leaves a wife and four children
one boy and three girls-to mourn his IN
timely end and for whom we bespeak ike
sympathy or the entire community.
The funeral was held at the Methodist
church in Ducktown and was conducted
by the Rev. Trewitt of Copperhill, assisted
by Rev. Hunter. The burial was in the
Ducktown cemetery, under the auspices of
the Masonic order.
