In the head with a shot gun. The
young man had been working for
Mr. Mabin for some time and on'
Tuesday complained of not feeJins
well. ' Mrs. llai-la advised him to
call up his moil "T, who lived a tlort
distance from tiem, and tell ter.
Mrs. Mabln also advised him to g?
to his mother's home until better.
He called ber up and after talking
with her for some time, went out and
eat on hm finrnA nnd atari oil I'm.
Mabln supposed, to the home of his
mother, six miles distant. In the
morning she called up Mrs. Camp
bell and inquired if the boy was
there and bow he was getting along. ,
She was told that his horse was in
the barn but that probably be had
gone over to one of the neighbors to
stay all night, Mrs. Campbell how
ever thought be might have gone up
Into the bay loft and decided to go
and see. The usual way to reach
the loft was through the stable but
being afraid of the horses she went
Into the carriage house and was In-,
tending to go up on a ladder when
she found him lying face down on
his knees.
Coroner Slagle of Alliance was
called and with Sheriff Cox went out
to the Campbell home, where the
above facts were ascertained. The
young man had made use of an old
double barrelled shot gun with one
barrel out of commission. He strap

cause can be assigned for such an
act. So far as his folks knew he
had no enemies and bad never had
any trouble with any one. He left
a letter stating that he intended to
commit the act. and disposed of his
things. The letter 'was in his own
handwriting, showing that the sui
