ed Memorial Day exercises at the

An address of welcome was given
by commander John Patrick, a pleas
ing solo by Mrs. II. H. Dasler, male
quartet music, a reading by Miss
Howard and the Memorial Day ad
dress by Rev. D. H. Leech. With elo
quent words of a nation's gratitude
to those heroes who Bleep or still re
main, the speaker caused his hear
ers to rejoice for the noble deeds of
the soldier dead, or yet to mourn
that so groat an army of noble men
was sacrificed that we might enjoy
tne blessings of freedom and nation
fa! prosperity and honor.
Thus another tribute has been paid

DESPONDENT MAN SENDS
, BULLET INTO BRAIN
Despondent and blue, with no other
reason, apparently, for his rash act,
Wilbur Mellick, a farm hand on the
Consul ranch, owned by H. G. Prich-
ard, blew his brains out Monday
morning.
Mellick. with his wife, had been
working at the Prlchard farm since
March, the wife doing house work
and Mellick doing farm work. In the
morning he decided not to work and
went back up stairs to his room with
out osHntr hre&kfast. About 10
V 1. .waa
o'clock the people In the lower part
of the house heard a noise as of some
one falling but thought nothing of It;
a few minutes later Mrs. Mellick sent
her baby girl up to the bed room
with food, thinking that Mellick
would be hungry. The child's calls
for help brought the mother to the
scene of death where she found the
husband lying In a pool of blood on
the floor, the fatal bullet wound In
his temple telling the sad Btory of self
cUstruetlon. Mellick wls 30 years of
age, left no word and gave no warn
ing of his intended act.
A coroner's Jury sat upon the case
and returned the verdict of suicide
this afternoon and returned the ver
dict of suicide.
The funeral was held Wednesday
at the Christian church.
