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
