COURAGE AND CowARDICE CON-
BINED. An aged and we'll known man
came here last Saturday from one of the
county towns and went through series
of actions that would appall a dime now
elist. He visited barber shop. went to
clothing store for uitable garments to
use at his burial, bought revolver and
had it loaded, then called on an under
taker, where he selected his casket,
lastly notifying the undertaken to call at
a certain time at room he had engaged
to take his life in. This was more than
the undertaken could stand for as he felt
he would be morally and legally crimi
nal if he did not interfere with these well
laid plans, SO he notified City Marshal
Knowlton who at once obtained war
rant to restrain the old man from COM
mitting suicide. He was then taken to
the poor debtors room at the county
! Jail. 1t was necessary to lift him bodily
from the auto and it was then the revol
yer was discovered. He was kindly
treated by the officers then in charge and
man kept with him the two nights he
was held pending an investigation as to
his sanity. 1t was finally decided that
he was only despondent so was sent
home Tuesday morning in a more reas-
enable frame of mind. On leaving he
! thanked Sheriff Frank A. Littlefeld and
/ all who had been so XII d to him. He
| lives alone, is separated from his wife,
but has sons living in another State
