JEFFRIES
SAID TO Be INSANE
Bov Who Attempted to Commit Sui
eide in East Mexico Tuesday Is
Believed 10 Be CraEy
FAILED TO REPORT MAY )
.Jeffn~ Vas a Member Of Co [ oil
The Fearih Field Artillery Of
the United States Army

Emer Jeffries, the 2z-year-old son
Of John P. JsfineS Of Mexico, VOL
unfairly joined the army February
1911. and in Nay, 1917, deserted from
II Paso Texas; and on June the 5th
attempted suicide in this city.
Youas Jeffrics came home some
tine ago and evidently did not like the
discipline and the work q the armsi
hat his father advised him to goto
jefferson Barracks ana turn himself
lin. In fact. Mr., Jeffrics gave him
money twice to 90 to jefferson Bar
lracks. Once he went TO St. Charles
and the other time to St. Louis. FL
mers brother says he is satisfied that
the boy is insane from the way he
acted. On Tuesday he wrote a letter
Ito a girl in jefferson City, also one
Ito his homefulks here, stating that he
was going to kill himself. He hunt
ed around the house and got hold Of
some bed-bug poison which he took
out to East Lake, as stated in Tues
lday's Ledger, and took a big dose Of
lit. II seems that just before he went
Ito East Lake he ate a big meal and
the poison turned his stomach, and he
got clear Of most of il before any Sc
rious damage was done. When found
he was at the Kanaly home near the
lake and after taking poison wanted
to shoot himself, but Mrs. Karsly no.
titled the police and the boy was TAX
en- back home.
He was removed from the Mexico
jail Wednesday afternoon and taken
to jefferson Barracks.
1t seems that Elmer belonged to
the Fouth Field Artillery, and had -
get up early in the morning and do a
IgOod deal Of hiking, and it kind Of got
on MS nerves. We understand the
young man is all right this morning,
and is in a different frame Of mind
about killing himself, and is anxious
to get back to jefferson Barracks
and get into the army again. Elmer
is Of the opinion that if you are going
to take bed-bug poison, which IS
largely composed Of corrosive sub
Innate, you had better eat a big meal
first.

The oat crop promises to be the best
for nan years. With a couple Of
more good rains il is almost an in
surcd crop and the yield will be
above the last ten-yoar average. The
corn crop Of our vicinity and Of Au-
drain County is a very excellent
stand: 1t now needs blowing as its
been too rainy the past fortnight for
our farmers to pillow and the grass and
weeds are getting a pretty good start.
49, The most Of our sheep men have
disposed Of nearly all their past years
feed; nearly every load Of lambs that
went from these pens held the top
notch the day they were there. These
lambs made their feeders a hat full Of
