heels and tight lacing are not harm

Imagine they couldn't reduce any

Though all of the persons OF whom

To the manifold dangers Of wear

No lady of consequence ever re-

MISSING SEVERAL
MONTHS; FOUND
DEAD IN BED
Prominent HillsbOrO Citizen, Missing
Since November, Found In nis
Home With Pistol in Hand.

With pistol clutched in his right
hand James Gotherman, aged sixty
seven years, was found dead in bed at
his home near Hillsboro, Ohio, Mon
day. His forehead had been pierced
by bullet, which indicatio~- - "A $
point had been fired by himself.
Following the discovery there iGma-
diately arose a suspicion that probably
these indications were not what yhey
appeared to be.
Gotherman has been a resident of
tina section for many years It was re-
called that he had not been seen in
the community since Thanksgiving
day, when he sold his farm and told
his nephew that he was going to Illi-
nois, giving him instructions to move
the household goods, March 1, il he
was not back by that time Gotherman
failed to put in his appearance so the
nephew went to the house Monday to
move the fuunitrre, where he found his
uncle dead. 1t is supposed that he has
been dead since November.
1t is estimated that Mr.. Gotherman
was worth between $4,000 and $780,
900. He was of very peculiar ma
ture, it is said, having had some do
nestle troubles in the past. He had
been in an insane asylum at one time
and since his return had not been in a
normal state of mind.
Two sons, Elmer Gotherman and
Russell Gotherman, live in the Port
William neighborhood in . Clinton
county. The dead mans divorced wife,
Mrs. Hannah Gotherman, also lives in
the Port William section.
The Highland county officials are
working on every possible clue that
may lead to more information in the
case.
