4 TRAGEDY OF DESPOEDEACY
Prominent as an Inventive Genius Had
Been Suffering Under Mental Strain
for Some Time - Takes His Life
AS He Was on His Way to Work.
from Monday, 8 nai1v1

A profound sensation was caused Ia
Kenosha early this morning by the
tragic death of Patrick n. Friel, As
years of age, who committed suicide Just
before seven O'Clock this morning,
shooting himself through the head, in a
shed near the corner Of Park and Con-
gres streets. He died ten minutes later
while he was being taken to the Keno
sha hospital in the police ambulance.
Mr.. Friel had left his home only
few minutes before and was on his way
to his work at the plant of Simmons
Company. He had been dependent
for some time but when ne left home
this morning he appeared to be in an
unusually cheerful mood. He kissed his
wife and two sons goodbye and took
with him suit of overalls and cap.
Several people saw him as he walked
north along Congress street but his ac-
tions caused no comment. He walked
to the little shed back of the old George
D. Head homestead on Park street and
walking into the shed drew revolver
and shot himself in the center of the
forehead. The sound of the shot at
tracted men, hurrying to work, near the
shed and they called the police ambu-
lance Friel was still alive but I'm.
conscious. He was placed in the am
bulance and physicians called. The
ambulance was heading toward the hos
pital when death came. Coroner Mill
Lager directed that the remains be re-
moved to the Hansen morgue and later
Coroner n. c. Millager made an investi-
cation. Late in the morning the re-
mains were removed to the Crossin
morgue and it is improbable that any
inquest will be held. Friel shot him
self with thirty-two calibre revolver,
the bullet piercing his brain.
The tragic death of Friel brought
deep sorrow at the plant of Simmons
Company wher he had been employed
for many years. Friel was genius
and inventions which he had made had
been featured in the building of beds

left the employ of the company but
this morning he was returning to re-
sumo his work in the tube department.
Friel had sufferd under mental strain
for some time and his close personal
friends had been greatly worried over
his condition. He had, however, made
no threats to take his life and in the
past few days his friends had believed
that his condition was greatly improved.
When Mrs. Friel was notified of the
tragic death Of her husband she suf-
fered from nervous prostration.
Patrick III. Friel was born in Ireland,
November Is, 1871, and he had resided
in Kenosha for the past eighteen years.
Much of this time he had been employed
by the Simmons company. He was a
mechanic of great ability and he worked
along different lines, giving much Of
his time to designing better ways for
making the various products of the big
factory. Mr. Friel was delightful
companion and among the men who
knew him in innate life his death
as a great shock.

Every dog is entitled to his day
every man is entitled to his day in
court, and the Wisconsin Telephone
Company is entitled to chance to pro-
vide something like adequate service
for Kenosha. The wait has been long
one and the people should start to get
it by the commission route. 1t is be-
ginning to look as if this was the only
route open to them.
