Fatally Hurt BY Explosion OF Case
Iene Tank Supposed to Be Empty.

Traer July s.--Charles Dvorak, q
young Bohemian farmer living seven
miles southwest of Traer, committed
suicide Monday by shooting himself
with a shotgun. Nothing unusual was
noticed in his actions previously. he
had q good farm, bought three years
ago, which would bring $3.50 an acre
more than he gave for 1t. His crops
were good. He had splendid family
consisting of wife and three children,
and he appeared to be one Of our most
prosperous young farmers and 1t seems
a mystery why he would do such a
thing. The most likely explanation be-
ing circulated Is that, being of a
rather nervous disposition and as re-
suit of an almost fatal attack or in
fluenza late last winter, he felt that
he would never regain his former
health.
He went to a small upper room I'M
observed by any Of the family, where
a loaded shotgun was always kept
hidden away. Placing the muzzle IN
der his chin slightly to one side the
gun was discharged blowing off one
side of his face and head and splat-
tering the ceiling with his blood and
brains.
Boy Killed BY Gas Explosion.
A very sad accident occurred at the

ed to light the gas. Immediately
there was an explosion. The older
boy received the full force Of it and
was 50 badly burned that he lived but
a few hours. The lad was about six
years old and the Oldest son Of Mr..
