MAN coMMITs srICIpE

Allen Linton, an uncle OF Thomas
Linton, committed suicide by drink
ing carbolic acid at about two o'clock
Thursday afternoon at the Linton
home near Latshaw chapel.
Mr.. Linton, who was about 55
years old, came from Guthrie Center
Wednesday for visit with his neph-
ew. After eating dinner Thursday
he said to the family that he wished
to bid them goodbye for the last
time. They presumed that he was
going to leave when he picked up his
suit case. Instead of going toward
the road he went to the barn. This
aroused the suspicious of his nephew
who then followed him but reached
the barn only in time to see him
draining the contents of pint bottle
of the acid. A physician was hast
lily summoned from Bayard but death
ensued before any aid could be given.
In his suitcase another quart of the
acid was found. Mr.. Linton had
just partially recovered from an at
tack of the flu and it is supposed this
disease had left him unbalanced mem

ONCE TOO OFTEN

There was a man who fancied
That by driving good and fast
He'd get his car across the track
Before the train came past,
He'd miss the engine by an inch
And make the train hands sore;
There was a man who fancied this :
There isn't any more.
There was wise old trainman,
Expert at coupling cars;
He used his feet to push in place
The knuckles and drawbars.
He did il thus for many years,
And thought il was great fun;
He had two feet to push them with,
And now he has only one.
Bill Jones, on the repair track,
Imagined he could do
A moments work beneath the car
Without the flag of blue.
Well. yes, he did it many times,
In spite of rule and warning;
One day an engine bumped the car
Bills wife is now in mourning.
Between the rails on the north
bound track
Mike smoked his pipe of clay,
AS "37" with Red Ball freight south
Sped noisily on her way.
'Twould take four steps to clear both
tracks,
/. Those steps Mike did not take,
Then mo. A" approached unheard,
Result-'An Irish Wake"
Jimmy was an active kid,
He lived beside the track;
He got on as the trains went up,
And off as they came back.
1t did no good to warn him;
For Jim knew much the best,
That he was in no danger
His tombstone reads. "At Rest"

There is promise of some real excitement during the forthcoming celebration in the way of tug-of- war contest that will be far ahead of anything of the kind ever seen in Nenana-that is, provided there is a team in the district that will pull against Herman Bloom and the men who will occupy the cleats with him in case match is arranged.
 Herman is looking for match. In fact, he is so sure that he and his associates can outpull any other outfit in the camp that he is willing to put up a thousand dollars or more on his team. A challenge to that effect was issued this after noon by the Bloom pullers, who call themselves the Kestly team.
