IS -SHE AT MONUMENT Mental derangement resulting from poor health, led Thomas Hay ward of Monument to the rash act of suicide at his home last Monday. With a double-barrel shotgun lie des troyed himself. He placed the muz zel to his head and pulled the trigger, the c'iriit.- i-'.nplet-'lv tearing uway the entire t.i of hi Ymh Death re sulted imnvdiatrlv Deceased w as a man about 68 years of age. He had been in poor health for along time. Recently, he had been taken away in hopes that a change of scenes and conditions might cure the melancholia which seemed to possess him. On his return he seem ed much better, and friends and rela tives entertained hope that his full recovery would follow. He was sit ting on the front porch Monday morn ing apparently in good spirits. Mrs. Hayward suggested that he go to his room and lie down and rest . This was about eleven o'clock in the morn ing. He went through the kitchen, where there was several working and on into the bed room. In a few mo ments the shot was heard and upon investigation it was found that he had committed suicide. Officers were notified'. Deputy Sheriff Keeney did not believe that an inquest was necessary as it was a clear case of suicide. The Eagle telephoned to Monument and asked what kind of a man Tom Hayward was and from several sourc es the reply came "None Better." He stood well and his many friends were completely shocked at the sad and tragic death. He lived about eight miles northwest of Mounment and was a resident of the county for 25 years. He was well known and uni versally liked. He was said to be u good citizen, a good neighbor and a good man. He is survived by a wife and several children. He was a mem ber of the Woodman lodge. In a normal condition Tom Hay ward would have never even contem plated so rash an act. Ill health, however, undermined his constitution and developed a condition of melan cholia which so often leads to suicid al tendencies. Canyon City Blue Mountain Eagle. New Kditor at Lostine.

Churc hill, State Superintendent of public instruction, is asking the voters of the tate to support the initiative measure on the ballot this fall providing for the establishment of a standard nor mal school at Pendleton.
