The remains of Pearl Porter , the
Fairfax citizen and assistant postmas
ter , who ended his llfo In Omaha Fri
day afternoon , wcro taken homo to
Fairfax , through Norfolk , yesterday at
noon , and the funeral was hold from
the M. B. church In the Gregory coun
ty seat today.
A brother from Madison Joined the
sad party hero , accompanying his
brother and the remains of the dead
brother to Fairfax.
Orrln Porter , brother of the suicide ,
arrived In Omaha from Fairfax Satur
day morning , accompanied by W. R.
Day , ono of the prominent citizens of
the town.
Tlio brother says Pearl was neither
short in his accounts nor in any em-
harassment.
Pearl Porter loft Fairfax Thursday
night at 12 o'clock for Wayne , went
from there to Omaha. Ho had $72 in
cash when ho left homo. Previous to
his departure he bought n draft of
$242 , which was sent to the postmas
ter general in payment for stamps

ing the last quarter.

which ledge ho carried $1,000 worth
of Insurance. Ho had lived thirteen
years In Fairfax , where his aged pa
rents and two brothers reside. His
brother , Carl , Is cashier of the Greg
ory County State bank.
When the news of the suicide
reached Fairfax the mother was so
shocked that she is now ill in bed. She
Is 72 years of ago and It IB feared that
she will not survive the grief occa
sioned by her son's death. The father

FORMERLY LIVED AT PILGER.
Second Son In Same Family to Com
mit Suicide.-
George W. Hlbbard , aged 38 years
and the son of Frank Hlbbard , a well
known and prosperous farmer of Irvington -
ington , hung himself 'to the girder of
a railroad bridge a mile from his fa
ther's bouse Sunday afternoon. The
body was discovered by a small b.oy
*
walking along the tracks and the rel
atives of the dead man were notified.
Hlbbard has been for several years
the manager of a farm owned by his
father at Pllger , and left his wife and
three children there a few days since
to visit his father.
The latter Is utterly at a loss to ac
count for his son having made away
with himself , as he says there was no
unpleabantness between himself and
his son. Neither IB any dnmoHtlo dim-
culty known of. The dead man's ac
tions for the past few days have not
been unusual or such an would Indi
cate that ho Intended taking his own
llfo.
llfo.Tho
The last seen of him allvo was nt 2
o'clock Sunday ntfornoon when ac
quaintances noticed him standing on
the track with the rope which ho nf-
( erward used to hang himself In his
hand , apparently canting about for a
convenient placo. The rope ho had
purchased an hour before nt at Irving-
Ington store.
A sad feature of the case Is that
about two years ago another son of
the same family killed himself by
shooting.
Coroner Bralloy viewed the remains ,
but decided that an inquest was not
necessary.

IN THE COMMERCIAL WORLD
Postoffice In Norfolk Will Close Ex
cepting During Certain Hours The
Banks Will be Closed on Monday In

order that people may get presents on
Christmas day which arrive on the
trains Christmas eve. On that night

pected the ehavlest run in the entire
year.
All three banks In Norfolk , the Cit
izens National , Norfolk National and

ness transacted on those days. The
same rule will apply one week later

Year's day.
The News , observing its custom and
also the holiday spirit of the moment ,
