This community was profoundly

became known that, for reasons
unknown, Jamies G. Huis had died

The young pian had been alone

a neighbor happened to see him
take the team in fo r the day. His
wife, Mrs. Grace Thompsondduls,
was at her parents home, but a
short distance away; his mother
was at the bedlgde of sick daughter
Mrs. Ola Hub Ruggles; his father

The tragedy had evidently taken
place somewhere in the neighbor­
hood o f sevens o ’clock as he had
written a le tte fT his wife dated

parents written »bout the same
time. In th e ft, |et ters no reference
was made at f t t e direct cause of
the rash act, w fy saying that no
one knew any thing about his
troubles and that no one wa< to
be blamed fo r Bis deed. After
writing the letters M r. Huis must
have gone up stairs; , laid down
upon the bed; crossed his feet;
pulled his shirt back with his left
hand and shot himself through Qie
heart with his right hand; death
being instantaneous; he not moving
after the shot was discharged.
His father, coming home about
9:15, and not finding him in the
house became uneasy and going
upstairs looking for him saw h im /
