So far the office of county clerk
seems to have no charms for repub
lican candidates. Mr. F. M. Henry,
who has been urged to make the race
by his many friends, informs us that
in the present state of his health he
positively will not allow his name to
be presented at the primaries. Tom
Lay, who lias had the matter under
consideration, has not up to this writ
ing (Tuesday) consented to make the
race for the republican nominatign
for the above office. Unless some
patriot comes forward by Saturdav
of this week, it will necessitate a
petition containing 200 names to get
a nominee for the clerkship before
the republican primaries.

SUICIDE OF JOHS FOWLED
A Washington Township Man
Ends Life’s Troubles.
Mr. John Fowler, living some 12
miles northwest of Loup City, in
Washington township, suicided last
Saturday morning by taking some
three ounces of carbolic acid. Such
was the news received in this city
about the middle of the forenoon.
About noon, Sheriff Williams, Coroner
Main, County Attorney Mathews, S.
N. Sweetland and the editors of the
Times and the Northwestern drove
out to the home of the suicide, where
a jury was empaneled, consisting of
E. A. Brown, S. N. Sweetland, G. E.
Aubert, John Tucker, S. A. Tucker
and J. W. Burleigh, who from the
facts laid before them rendered a find
ing that said John Fowler came to
his death by his own hand by taking
carbolic acid with suicidal Intent.
The facts brought out by the inquest
were as follows: Mr. and Mbs. Fow
ler had had some trouble the evening
before, and after deceased had gone
to sleep abour 11 o’clock in the night.
Mrs. Fowler, in fear of her life, and
because of threats made by deceased,
slipped out of the room and house,
unbeknown to any of the household,
save her eldest daughter, and fled in
her stocking feet to the home of
Chas. Mills, about a half a mile dis
tant, where she begged to be taken
at once to Loup City, claiming to be
in mortal fear of her life. Mr. Mills,
in his evidence, claimed he did not
want to mix up in the affair and
showed her the way to the home of
Edward Fagan, a half mile further,
where Miss Fagan hitched up a team
and drove her to this city, where she
arrived at tne nome oi a. r. neynoius
about 4 o’clock in the morning. At
the home of deceased the wife was
not missed by her husband till morn
ing, when he began a systematic
search about the place and to the
neighbors aforesaid, when becoming
convinced she had fled to town, re
turned home, dressfed himself in his
best clothes, and after dictating a
letter, written by his 17-year-old
daughter, to his father at .Aurora to
come after him and give him a burial
at Aurora, told his children he was
going to take his own life. They at
tempted to disuade him and tried by
force and pleading to prevent the
awful deed, but he forced himself in
to the front room of the house and
returning out of doors swallowed the
fleavy dose of carbolic acid, first com
manding his daughter to drive im
mediately to town and mail the letter
written, which she did. He then
walked or rather staggered into his
room, threw himself on his bed and
died inside of ten minutes. From
the evidence of the wife and daugh
ters, it was found that on at least
three different occasions, deceased
had beaten his wife, and that some
time before she had left him, came
to town and thence, to Sarpy county
to her parents, but on his protesta
tions and the further deeding of an
80-acre farm to her, and promise that!
in the future he would treat her j
kindly, she had returned to him, but i
within a week had resumed his ill- j
treatment. Outside of his exiiibi-!
tions of uncontrollable temper in re-j
gard to his wife, deceased was kind j
to liis children and all who have had J
business with him claim lie was kind,!
considerate and pleasant . His father |
and three brothers came up from
Aurora the same evening and Monday j
accompanied the body to Aurora for;
burial. Air. Fowler was well-to-do so:
far as this world’s goods were con
cerned and leaves his family with a
comfortable competence of between
*25,000 and *40.00o.
