large amount of commissioners proceedings will oppear in - our next issue Watch for it I4 will be offic ially correct Blows Top of Head Off Franklin Neb Nov 11 Special Never was this community so shocked as today when C N Benedict son-in-law of D L Bishop came to town for a doctor and told of Mr Bishop commit ting suicide He shot himself with a shotgun in the forehead the charge com ing out at the top of his head He was at his farm about four miles northwest of this place with his family He has been acting yery strange the past week and every care was taken that he should not do some such act as he did today His revolver and knives were all hidden but the shotgun was overlooked While Mrs Bishop Was pre paring dinner and his daughter was en tertaining him by playing on the piano he quietly stepped into another room and secured the gun The whole top of his head was torn off and the brains scat tered over the floor His wife and daughter were alone at home with him when the shooting occurred Mr Bishop was a traveling salesman for Nave McCord of St Joseph Mo for the past fifteen years and has had this territory all this time There is probably no man on the road better known in this section of the state than Mr Bishop He was a successful sales man and well liked Lincoln Journal Mr Bishop was one of the best known of the many traveling men who make this point He has been in this terri tory for ten or fifteen years making this his headquarters and the home of him self and wife at different times in late years Jt appears that he had been ill for some time at his home on a farm near Franklin before coming to McCook last week His mental condition became such close of last week at the Commer cial hotel that it was deemed prudent to summon Mrs Bishop from Franklin from whence she arrived on last Friday night On Sunday morning they returned to the farm near Franklin in the hope that he might regain his mental poise there with the family The sad sequel however is told in the special telegram to the Lincoln Journal of Tuesday reproduced in full above - Sickness and anxiety over personal business affairs seem to be responsible for his mental break down and self destruction was the result of a disor dered imagination that others sought his life and that he could neither find nor elude them This community has been most pro foundly shocked and pained by his sad and tragic end and all true hearts go out to the widow and daughter in their terrible bereavement and sorrow which come to many here with personal force The funeral was held on Wednesday burial being made at Franklin Trials Before Juries Quite a number of the important cases were tried to juries during the present sessions of district court The matter of the state against George Huston the more serious indictment attempted rape was withdrawn and he was allowed to plead guilty to the crime of assault He may congratulate him self in getting off so easily with a fine of 100 The case of the state against Phillip Blatt misdemeanor resulted in his acquittal The replevin suit of Shelley Rogers Co vs Samuel Ball occupied a number of days of the term in its hearing and was closely contested The jury rendered a verdict for the company The case in volves a cattle deal and the decision means a loss of about 82000 to Mr Ball A Night Call The fire department was summoned to the residence of Dr H L Prevost on North Main about eleven oclock Sun da night by a slight fire in the weeds and grass in the back part of the lot and the prairie adjoining on the north The flames were subdued without the depart ments help however and with little or damage Very Special The Tribune goes to press after din ner Fridays and in order that the ap pearance of the paper may not be
