Buell Takes HirtOwn Life IN A FIT OF MENTAL DEPUESSlON. Sheriff Hyers returned this morning from St. Joe, where he went to inter view a man arretted there, supposed to be the Weeking Water safe blower; parties' from Kansas, however, were looking for just such a chap, and the jewelry found on his person was iden tified by the Kansas parties, and the man taken home by them for punishment. II. A. Ensign, deputy sheriff of Lan caster county, came down on the Lin coln train this morning with Joe Sharp, of South Bend, in tow, whom he had arrested in Lincoln at the in stigation of Charlie West, for running mortgaged property out of the county and attempting to sell the same. It seems the property, consisting of three or four head of horses, were taken to Ashland, where he was trying to dis pose of them. He was turned over to the sheriff here, and recognized in the um of 9500 to appear at the county court on the 6th of April. William Neville went on the bond. The Hek ald and other friends of Mr. Sharp hope that there may be some satisfac tory explanation made of his doings and that he will come out all right in the end.' REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

The community was startled this morning by the announcement that a stranger, visiting in the city had taken his own life, and an investigation of the rumor developed the fact that it was only too true. Mr. Willard N. Buell, a son-in-law of Chaplain Wright, committed suicide last even ing by shooting himself, in a fit of mental depression, at the residence of his father-in-law. The report of the pistol was not heard by any one, and from the time he was last seen alive until he was found dead, a period of about four or five hours had elapsed. The particulars, as far as known may be gleaned from the testimony of Chap Iain and Mrs. Wright and Drs. Living ston and Hall, given at the Coroner's inquest. Chaplain Wright's testimony was in substance as follows: "Mr. Buell left the room where we were sitting, about half past three o'clock, and the supposition ws that tie had gon upstairs. He didntcome down, and I went up to see what the matter was, knowing his mind was in an unsettled condition. Ha wasn't there, and I concluded he had gone down town, as he was looking for a letter from his wife. I becran to feel uneasy, and between five and six o'clock went down town to look for him. Not finding him, I concluded he had gone to the junction to meet his wife. I left word withJJ. N. Wise, and he also started out to help iiunt him. Mrs. Wright had occasion about 8 o'clock to go to the water closet, and felt timid about it. I went out and stood on the porch. The door to the water closet opened toward the inside She said she couldn't get the door open and that some one was inside. I went out and discovered that some one was inside, and nut m " a- hand around and it rested on his neck and ear. I found his neck cold. I told my wife it was Willard, and that he was dead. I went over for Will and P. L. Wise, and we telephoned for Dr. Livingston and Sheriff Hyers. He (Mr. Buell; has been insane at times for two years. His head trouble af fected his mind. He showed signs of insanity Thursday, but none Wednes day. lie said he would rather die than live. I have noticed a tendency to insanity for three or four years. I 4 1- r i ii . "... tuiua. it was nereaitary. l Had no hope of his recovery. Dr. Livingston, Will Wise, P. S. Wise and J. N. Wise brought him into the house." Mrs. Wright testified that she had known Mr. Buell for eighteen or nine teen years; that he has not been right in his mind since he has been here. and that be was worse yesterday. She first discovered him about the time the train came in, between seven and eight o'clock. Didn't know that he ever threatened to take his own life. He was 44 or 45 years of age. ir. .Livingston examined the de ceased, and says that death was caused by a small pistol ball entering the brain about one inch below the occipi tal, ranging forward and upward, and that the wound could have been pro duced by deceased's own band. He found him in the water closet lying on his race, and the pistol lying at bis feet. In company with Chaplain Wright he called on Dr. Liv ingston last Sunday, and has called twice since. Deceased was troubled with catarrh and he told isnapiain wrigni he would go insane and threatened to take his own life He asked Dr. Livingston if anything else ailed him, and the doctor told him "No," whereupon he replied that if he cOuldol get well he would rather be dead. Dr. Hall corroborated the testimony of Dr. Livingston in regard to the wound. The testimony of Will Wise, P. L Wise and J.N. Wise as to finding the body is in substance the same as that given by Chaplain Wright. The following letter was found in Mr. Buell's pass book : March 22, 1862.

Almost a Fire I An alarm of fire this morning, about half-past nine o'clock, caused a grand rush toward the lower end of Main treat. On arrival there it was ascer tained that a small blaze had started in Frank Morrison's restaurant and lunch house. The fire was between the ceiling of the first story and floor of the second story, where a stove-pipe ran up through. Steve Davis first noticed it on his way 'up town from his grain- warehouse.
