CHAS. TILDEN SUICIDED
Found Dead in Room Mon
day Morning With Bullet
Through Heart.

Charles Tilden, who lived with
his brothers Horace and Fred at
Meta lake, $ve miles southeast
of Eagle River, suiclded Sunday
evening with a A 40 rifle, shoot
ing himself through the heart
while temporarily deranged. The
body was not discovered until
early Monday morning.
The dead man roomed in the
pavilion over the boat house,
which is located on Cranberry
lake about three blocks from the
resort buildings located on Meta
lake. He left the main lodge
about four O'Clock, as near as
can be remembered, evidence
showing that he went direct to
his room and locked himself in.
When supper was called he could
not be found, although search
was made.
The method employed showed
cunning in it's planning. After
locking himself 10 his room he re
moved coat and vest and sat on
a chair close to the foot Of a bed.
Attaching a string TO the trigger
of A. caliber rifle, placing
the butt on the bed with the
muzzle pointing to his heart, he
discharged the gun. Death was
almost instantaneous, the body
falling face downward on the
floor.
Deceased was forty-four years
of age. He came here from Elgln,
H., several years ago, living at
his brothers resort on Meta lake
and had gained broad acquain-
tance.
Funeral will be held this after
noon, interment being made IN
the village cemetery.

FOUND HOST OF MOTHERS.

Edward Jimmy hasn't single
relative in this country. Back in
Poland he has three brothers
fighting for freedoms cause. He
was Sanborn settler and up in
the Deerskin country for the
past year he had been digging a
home out of the wilderness.
Then came his country's call
and he left with Villas county's
second contingent to defend the
land of his adoption, the land
that had given him opportunity.
He is now at Camp Grant and
it became known Saturday that
he needed a Jersey sweater and
an extra pair of blankets. The
nights are getting bit chilly at
camp now. Before the day,pass-
ed the Earnest Workers heard
of his needs and Jimmy got his
sweater and blankets on the
next train.
He is somebody's son and he
found a host of mothers.

of fortv-6ve. The next depar-
ture will be made at an early
date The list of those who go
has not vet been posted.
Letters from the bows in camp
show them to be more than sat
ishcd with army life and the
beneficial results of it's rigid
training. And they are fast
learning the war game that in a
few months will convince the
Kaiser and his horde of Huns
that Americas military strength
is no myth. The few weeks the
bows have been in camp have
made a wonderful showing in
their power to adapt themselves
to the new game. To see them
march past in review sends a
thrill through the onlooker and
one can scarce believe that less
than a month ago these lads had
never seen a drill ground or
even knew that such a being as
a drlll-sergeant ever existed.
The north woods country can
be proud of the splendid man
hood it has contributed to Camp
Grant. They are men, real men,
in every sense of the word and
they are in line for worthy pro-
motion.
