Hodges, proprietor of tlie brick livery barn at the corner of of Pino nnd Front streets, committed suicide Tuesday afternoon by taking carbolic acid. He had been despondent for some time on account of finnncinl troubles, but Jwns exceptionally jolly all Tuesday morning. At nbout 2:30 he went to one of the drug stores and purchased a two ounce bottle of car bolic acid, stating that a horse had been kicked by a another that was rough shod and that he wonted the acid to cleanse the wound. He stood around tho store for several minutes talking and joking, and was seemingly in good spirits. Shortly after 8 o'clock word was received that he was dead. No motive other than financial troubles is known for his act, although he was an habitual drunkard and had tnken the cure twice without any suc cess. He purchased the barn about n year ago and thero was still a mort gage on it. The mortgage had "been due for somo time and the man holding it was in the city Mondaj and told Mr. Hodges that it was due, but stated that he would give moro time on account of tho scarcity of money at Iho present time. Mr. Hodge's oldest son found him shortly before he died. He had gone clone into one of the back stalls in the bnrn and had taken the acid without anyone suspecting it. Ho drank the entire contents of the t bottle. Medi cal attention was immediately sum moned, but he died just as the doctor arrived. The body was takon to the morgue immediately. The face was all drawn and the expression well snowed the agony ne must have ex perienced when the acid took its effect. The inside of his mouth and lips were terribly burned and his drawn lips and half-closed eyes gavo evidence of the terrible pain caused from tho burning. Mr. Hodges leaves n wif and six children, his mother and two brothers. All the children are undor age and the youngest is a baby. The oldest son is a young man and works at the barn. The brothers arrived yesterday from the eastern part of the state and tho body will bo shipped today to Nemaha where burial will he made. A case was filed Tuesday afternoon in the county court by Elizabeth Brott against Mr. Hodges for forcible de tention. In the complaint bhe alleges that she served notice on March 2nd for Mr. Hodges to vacate the barn building and that he had neglected to do so. She states that his lease was run .out on February 28 and asked for judgment and restitution of the premise?.

Found Wandering on Tracks. A woman by name of Mrs. Hamm was brought to this city Tuesday from Maxwell where she was found wander ing around apparently without any knowledge of what she was doing. She was seen at that place wandering around on the tracks and it waa feared, that she would be run down by a train. She was taken to the hotel and SherilF Salisbury was called and went after her. Her mind wa3 apparently much demented as she would say nothing only that she was going to hor parents who live in the eastern part of the state, and that her home was in North Platte. Her clothes were wet and she was very scantily dressed. After she was brought to this city it was discovered that her home was on North Locust street north of the tracks. Evidence would indicate that she had walked from this place to Maxwell and had waded the river. She was turned over to her husband for care. She is a young woman about twenty years of age. Mrs. Hamm attempted to commit suicide Monday by taking laudunum but was discovered by hor husband and the poison was taken from her. She gave no cause for wanting to kill her self, and as her home life is apparently happy, it is thought that some hallucin ation has posessed her and that she is losing her mind. Her condition is such that se will require constant care and watching. Increasing the Population.
