Another Victim
of Carbolic Acid.
Sylvester W. 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.
