J. Clifton Josey Fires Fatal
Shot into Head Because OF
I'LL Health

Bethune, May 31.-The COM
munity was shocked this morning
when it was learned that j. Clifton
Josey. prominent farmer, who lived
about six miles below here, had
taken his own life.
Early this morning Mr.. Josey
went out to his barn to milk his
COW taking his pistol along with
him. Within a few minutes his
son. who was a short distance
away. heard a pistol shot. Going
toN the barn. the son found his
fathers body lying in a pool Of
blood, the pistol lying beside the
body and the bucket Of milk on
the ground a few feet away. Mr.
Josey fired the fatal shot through
the head, the bail penetrating the
brain.
It is thought that bad health and
financial troubles were the reasons
for MI. Josey taking his own life.

Ats, 900 members Of the union and
about 1900 non-union workers

the exception Of short lines and
