M. A. SWAIN ENDS LIFE
WITH CARBOLIC ACID
M. A. Swain, stock raiser and ex
tensive land owner of Ewing, com
mitted suicide at that place Wednes
day by drinking carbblic acid. He was
35 years ola. Financial difficulties are
believed to have been the cause, al
though he left a note to his sister, Mrs.
Etta Possen, with whom he lived, indi
cating that failing health prompted
him to take his life.
Mrs. Possen was away from home
at the time and found the dead .man on
her return.
He was born in Ewing and had lived
there ever since.
Until the recent money depression
Mr. Swain was quite comfortably fixed,
but it is understood that recently he
suffered heavy losses.
He also left a note to the undertaker*
Carl Jaco, requesting that no inquest
be held and maintaining his Irish wit
to thejast, instructing the undertaker
that ifne had no casket large enough,
to have one made.
The note to the undertaker read:
“Carl:
‘‘Do not hold an inquest over me.
Get it over with as soon as possible.
If you have no casket large enough, j
have Jim Anderson make or.e.”
He is survived by five sisters. Mrs.
Etta Possen, Mrs. Will Biddleton and
Mrs. Ed Wilke of Ewing and Mrs. E.
Snyder of Wyoming, and Mrs. Hous
ton of Montana.
County Attorney J. D. Cronin went
to Ewing this afternoon and after a
thorough investigation of the case de
cided that an inquest was unnecessary
as the evidence of suicide was very
pronounced.
The stockholders of the First Na
tinal Bank of this city held their

Interesting Facts

What Does This Mean?
This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely unprecedented for
this time of the year—
It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford plants working at full
capacity—
• F
It indicates a Volume of business during the rapidly approaching months
of “heavy demand” which will be far beyond the maximum production schedule
which the Ford Motor Company has set—
And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which ex
isted last Spring and Summer.
Dealers stocks all over the country are low—there are no reserves to
draw upon to meet the demands for delivery—
There is no way in which dealer reserves can be built up, as deliveries have
been made to customers as fast as Cars could be manufactured since last April.
The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a
Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately.
*
This emphasizes more strongly than anything we could possibly
say the necessity of your making prompt arrangements with a Ford
Dealer for the listing of your order, particularly if you are contem
plating the purchase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or
Summer.
*
We believe you are entitled to know these facts as they actually exist.
