Discouraged over continued Ill-health,
Martin Hood, a man slxty-ono years of

ing on his farm fifteen miles north of
town. Seating himself in a chair and
unbottoning his shirt, ho placed tho
muzzlo of a- loaded shot gun against
his left breast nnd with n short stick
reached down nnd moved the trigger.
Tho wound made was a ghastly ono and
death was no doubt instant.
For two years Hood had been in poor
hcnlth, and had mnde arrangements to
go to Omuha Tuesday night for treat
ment. Ho had ninety dollars but thought
ho needed n hundred, nnd sent his grown
Bon over to a noighbor to borrow ten
dollars. It was while tho son was on this
errand that the deed was committed.
Unon returinc homo and finding his
fnthor dead, ho reported tho occur
rence to Frank Hood, brother of tho
deceased, and td other neighbors. Tho
sheriff and coronor were notified, and
tho lattcrwentoutnnd heldan inquest.
Tho ovidenco was plainly that of sui
cide.

ompanion had been a son. The funeral
was held Wednesday, the bodied being
interred in the cematory nt Myrtle.

That Gaudy Railroad.
Messrs. Smith and McLcay, of Gandy,
who went to Omaha to investigate
proposition of securing a railroad into
Gandy, returned Wednesday. They had
n conference with the gentleman mak
ing tho proposition and were favorably
impressed with him and his plan.
Briefly outlined tho proposition Is to
build a railroad from Callaway to Gandy,
tho people of that town and tho real
dents along the route to givo a bonus
of $150,000, this sum to bo payablo
when the road is ready for operation.
The cost of tho line would bo about
$350,000, and the difference between
the bonus and the cost would bo. mot by
bonding the road. Onco completed tho
lino would leased, presumably to the
Union Pacific, which owns the line from
Kearney to Callaway.
Mr. Smith beliovcs that tho bonus of
$150,000 can bo raised by voting bonds
in the precincts through which tho
road will run, and by donations from
business men nnd others.

Gorrit Fort, passenger traffic manager
of the Union Pacific, states that the
plans for resuming the midnight ser

timo ago but were delayed owing to
tho absenco in Europo of General Man
ager A, L. Mohler. Mr. Fort stated
that:
"Wo removed No. 13 because wo felt
