WM. H. KITE COMMITS SUI0IDE.
William II. Kite, a farmer in tho
western part of Nemaha precinct, com
mitted suicide last Saturday afternoon.
Wo got tho following particulars from
S. O. Strole, whoso farm joins Mr.
Kito'a on tho south, tho two houses be
ing less than n mile apart.
A little after ono o'clock Saturday
afternoon Mr. Strolo and Mr. Stouo
bergor, who waa working for him,
went to tho barn to get out the team
and go to work. Mr. Strole noticed a
man lying ou tho ground at tho gate
and started toward the gale. The man
raised on his elbow and looked toward
Mr. Strole and then lahl down again.
When Mr .Strole got to him and raised
him up ho was horrified to find it was
hia neighbor, William II. Kite, and
that he had cut hla throat. Mr. Strolo
apoko to him but ho made no roply.
He holped him -on his feet and the man
ataited toward home, being helped by
Mr. Strole and Mrs. Strolo, who had
seen that something waa tho matter
and hnd come down from tho house.
They uskod Mr. Kite to go in tho
h6use but he kept pulling them and
walking toward hia own homo, Mr.
Strolo said: "Will, for mercy sake
what did you do such an act as this
for?" Kite made-no reply tho first
time tho question was naked, but ou
Its being repeated ho cleared his throat
and said : "Well, I want to go to my
dear boy, Ho has been taken away
and I want to go to him." Mrs. Strolo
said: "You ought to think of your
wifo and two children." Ho said:
"Yea, I have a dear good woman."
In the meantime bandages were got
and when Kite consented to stop
about half way home, his throat was
bandaged up. Ilia wifo had been sent
for and she came about this time. A
messenger had also been sent to Howe
and Dr. Gale Andrews of Auburn tele
phoned to. Mr. Kito was qulto weak
and faint from tho loss of blood, but
after resting a little he waa revived
aud was assisted to hia home, lie
asked for hia littlo two year-old
daughter while on his way home, but
she waa alarmed at the blood aud
would not go to him. After lie got
home ho called for her again and she
went to him and he put hia hand on
her head and closed his eyes as if bless
ing her. He got so ho could not speak
and made motions for paper and pen
cil and when they were givon him he
wrote that he had taken carbolic acid
and then cut hid throat with his razor.
When Dr. Andrews arrived ho sowed
up the wound in his throat and did all
ho could for the man, but ho was past
all help. After tho terrible gashes
had been closed he put his hand to the
side of Ids ueck aud said it felt sore.
In a littlo while he aaid "I feel sick,"
mid in a few minutes was dead.
The deceased waa undoubtedly tem
porarily Insane. About four yeara
ago he had a mild attack of insanity,
but with care got all right again.
About three months ago his only boy,
about 10 years old, died. Mr. Kite
grieved a great deal over tho loss, and
recently had complained of his head
hurting him. At noon Saturday he
shaved himself. He said ho would go
down and pump wator for the hogs
while dinner was being propared and
nothing mora was seen of him until
after tho terrible deed was committed.
He wrote that after taking the carbolic
acid lie had thrown tho bottle in the
hedge and had thrown tho razor in the
hedge too, but neither havo been found.
Ho died at 4:30 p. in. Saturday about
three hours or three and a half after
ho cut his throat.
Tho funeral services woro held Mon
day at 10 o'clock a. m. and the body
laid at rest in tho Howe cemetery.
The deceased leaves a wifo and two
daughters, ono about 10 years of ago
and the other about 2. He waa about
30 yeara of age.

THE IIA1L STORM.
Tho worst hall storm Nemnlm coun
ty has ever experienced occurred hint
Saturday afternoon. It entered tho
county nt the northwest and went
through to tho southern or southeast
ern part, in places extending over a
scope of country ten or twelve miles
wide. Tho worst pnr of tho Btorm
seems to hare beon south and a littlo
west of Auburn for about eight or
nine miles in a southeasterly direo
tlou and about throe miles wide. In
this section nil small grain wits totally
destroyed, all fruit ruined nnd the fruit
trees badly Injured, corn out to tho
ground, gardens ruined, nnd much
other damage done. Tho majority of
farmers had In wheat and the prsa
pects woro line for as good a crop as
was ever raleod in ibis county. Then
the hull oamo and It was loft a ruin.
No ono who did not see the ruin can
imaglno too damage done. Trees wero
strlppod of moat of tho follngo and
many young trees had nearly all tho
bark peeled off. Largor troes havo
bark peeled off, small limbs broken
and are pounded so it is impossible to
toll the extent of tho injuries. In
mnny places trees woro blown ovor or
broken off, On Hovoral farms largo
trees wero blown over. Tho window
glass on the north sldo of the housos
In this strip wero nearly nil broken.
Screen wire and oven shutters did not
save tho windows, but tho hall wonti
through wire, shutters and glass. The'
hall was not round, as usual, but soem
ed to come In big chunks of rough Ico,
as largo aa hen eggs In places roofs
that were old wore badly damaged,
the shingles being split by tho force of
tho hall. A grout many chickens woro
killed.
It is impossible to correctly estimate
the extent of the Ions to the farmers of
this county, but It will run into bund-,
rods of thousands of dollars. All the
small grain nnd fruit are gone.. The
corn is injured, orchards badly dam
aged, and tho broken glass and injury
to buildings is considerable.
Tho Btorm touched Charley Roberts'
farm on the south west corner, and did
considerable dauiago on tho farms of
John I.DresBlor, Marshall Webb, W.
II. Rider aud others on that lino.
Many whoso farms wore 1101 hurt
had wlioat on the Miles land that was
completely destroyed On theShubert
fruit farm tho dauiago is estimated by
Grant Shuhort nt f 2500. Several acres
of lino budded poach trees wero rids
died, the trees which were hanging full
of fruit! being stripped of everything.
It is hard to tell the extent of the dam
age to the trees but tint fruit crop Is
entirely gone. Casnor Barnes had 110
acres ill wheat aud hasn't any left. He
estimates his damage at from 81,000 to
81,500. S. C. Strolo had 3.000 peuch
trees loaded with fruit, but all is de
stroyed. Tho wheat crop all through
this section was nearly rendy for cuts
ting and many fields would have made
from 35 to 40 bushels per acre. The
orn wna cut off in the storm bolt, but
the most of it will come out all right,
The growth made since the storm is
astonishing.
