Alleged Hold-up Proved To Be Fax.

AIlegeu f1OId-up Proved TO BE Fak3
Sheriff L. B. Adrean is satisfied
that the alleged hold-up of j. A.
Smith Tuesday evening of last week,
down at Big Rock, was all hoax.
He has learned that man answer
ing to the description of Smith,
had played the same sort of a game
near GAINESVILLE. The morning he
left here, the sheriff had advanced
him SIS to return to Wooster, Smith
promising that he would return in
a day or SO with the money. He
also got other smaller sums of mon
ey, and because of his hold-up story,
was given free bus ride out of
here. In his report to officers here,
1t will be remembered, he stated
that while fixing his tire, he was
accosted by two stick up men, who
took his pants in which he had $54,
also his watch. Going to Lawrence
Taylor's residence he reported the
alleged matter and was given a pair
of pants. It is stated that Smith
was a good actor, appearing quite
nervous and excited over the hold
up, as he reported it. AS yet the
sheriff has heard nothing more OF
him, nor of his SIS.

WM. NIXON OF DEERFIELD
is "A SUICIDE VICTIM

William Nixon, aged about 81
years, of Deerfield township, COM
mitted suicide early Friday morning
by hanging himself in his barn, near
his home. He left the house about
Z O'Clock, going to the barn. Fail
ing to respond to the call of his
wife for breakfast, a search was be-
gun by members of the family. The
body was found hanging to rope
in the barn. He had made slip
loop which he put around his neck,
and taking the other end of the
rope had wrapped it about a Xxi
scantling, tying it. Then he don-
bled up his body, which according
to Coroner Carl Miller's verdict,
caused death, with suicidal intent,
by strangulation. His neck was not
broken, and his feet were not off the
floor when he was found, life hav-
ing been extinct perhaps about a
half hour. On the dresser he had
placed two letters, his pocket book
and his watch. One letter, which
bore the date of Aug. 81, gave in
structions as to his funeral and bur-
ial, and said they would find his
body in the barn. The other letter,
under date of Sept. /, stated that
they could bury him wherever they
wanted to. The body was brought
here to the Miller undertaking par
lors, where it was prepared for bur
ial.
The deceased was farmer, and
of quiet disposition. He was a
son of the late James H. and Susan
Tavener Nixon. He resided about
two miles north of Triadelphia, on
Island run. Besides his parents,
one brother, Charles, is deceased.
1t is stated that since the death OF
his mother which was several years
ago, he had ever continued to
mourn her death. April IA, 1882,
he was united in marriage with Mrs.
Amanda Holdcroft, who with seven
step-children, all of the home, sur
wives.
Carrying out his request in the
letters found on the dresser, the fu-
neral was held Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock, at the Triadelphia M. j..
church of which he was member,
with Rev. Charles Aler officiating.
Interment was made in the Locust
Grove cemetery.
