a point on the cement road about
three miles east of town when a large
car approached from the west The
lights of the car were very bright and
the driver apparently refused to dim
them, although Mr.. Byrne dimmed his.
Just as his car was about to pass the

right. He felt jolt and. quickly ap-
plying the brakes discovered that his
car was in the ditch A large stone

that prevented the car from turning

SUICIDE REPORT
PROVES A BLOOMER

For several days a rumor has been
going around that well known for
mer Ottawa man who left this city in
July for Peoria hanged himself one
day last week. The rumor, while en-
tirely groundless, has caused no small
amount Of consternaton among the
friends of tho man who have heard it,
Like all reports of the kind, no one
knows how it was started. An inves-
tigation conducted by the Free Trad
er-Journal disclosed the fact that the
man was very much alive and had
never been or never intended to be a
member of "necktie party"
The man resided in Ottawa for two
years prior to July. was employed at
the Illinois Farmers Packing com.
pany, and made many friends during
hia residence here. When the pack
ing company closed down he went to
Peoria to accept position similar to
the one he held here. Yesterday
after the rumor had been carried into
the Free Trader-Journal office by a
friend of the man who believed it to
be true a long distance phone call
was put through to Peoria paper in
an effort to trace it down. The paper
there reported that no fatality of the
kind had occurred in that city re-
Gently.
A telegram was received a few
hours later from the Peoria news
sleuth stating that the man was living
in Peoria and that his alleged death
had not occurred elsewhere, so the
friends of the man who are mourning
him as dead can rejoice in the fact
that he Is alive, healthy and happy.
