SUICIDE VERDICT
RETURNED BY JURY

1t was learned at the inquest into
the death of Christopher Anderson
late yesterday afternoon that the
aged man who took his life by in
haling gas, had developed morose
attitude in his late years because of
his apparent inability to regain his
health, and that only a few days
ago he had made the remark to his
physician that he would be better
on dead than to enter hospital. as
the doctor had suggested. A YER
dict of death due to the inhalation
of gas, self-imposed, was returned
by the jury.
Mr.. Anderson took his own life
in his rooms at 416 Fifth street,
where he lived alone, Tuesday
night. His body was discovered the
following morning early by his son,
Ernest Anderson, who resides
nearby, whose custom it had been
to visit with his father every morn
ing and evening. The son told of
going to his fathers home as usual
yesterday morning and of finding
all doors closed tightly and gas
escaping from two Jets on the
kitchen stove. He found the life
less body in the bath room, which
is partitioned off from the kitchen.

Chicago. June 5.-Today was a
happy one for Captain W. W. Scott
of Rock Island and yet there was
a bit of sadness for him.
He was happy to see and greet
the boys of Battery F, One Hun
dred Twenty-third heavy field ar
tillery, which he trained at Camp
Logan, Texas, for overseas. The
note of sorrow came to him
through the fact that he had been
forced to leave the boys just be
fore they departed for overseas be-
cause of nervous breakdown due
to the strenuous duties he had in
shaping them for service on the
front.
Captain Scott became command
er Of old Company A in the spring
of 1917 and he gave the battery
boys the fine preliminary training
which had whole lot to do with
making them the fearless fighters
they proved to be in the theatre
of war.
