FERDINAND BLEEKE. Clerk. David E. Smith, Attorney for Plaintiff 28t3 Geneva, Ind., July 15—(Special to Daily Democrat William B. Hale, assistant cashie: of the Bank of Geneva. where he has been employed th* past fourteen years, and known as one of the mosv prominent business men of the town and county, committed suicide at some time between 11 and 12 Monday by hanging, in the hay mow of the barn at his residence, on West Line street, about a square rom the bank where he was employed. The body, whi' h was still warm, and in which it was thought a spark of life apjarently having been hanging but a few minutes, was discovered by Mr. Hale's little son, William, who had occasion to go to the barn at that time. The body was cut down and Drs. Price ar, 1 Graham, with other kind assistants,, did all they could to resuscitate him and to fan the little spark of life into brighter embers, i but to no avail. Death had evidently come by strangulation. A rohte had been thrown about a cross-beam in the barn, and it seemed had been twisted about his neck to effect the strapgulation. The legs of the body were drawn up to let the body escape the floor, which, it seems, was necessary to effect the strarjlgulation, as the body could not swing clear of the floor otherwise. The news of the death came most unexpectedly tt> all, as Mr. Hale had been in apparently good health and had spent the morning at his duties at the bank, and had transacted business with many of the business men of the town. The terrible news of his rash deed could scarcely be believed by them, and the town is in the utmost sorrow. Mr. Hale was about forty-five years of age. He was the son of Silaw W. Hale of this place, and a nephew of Councilman J D. Hale of Decatur. His first wife died about three years ago, and his wife by a second marriage survives. He also leaves thre<« children: Helen and Mary, aged about fifteen and thirteen, i espectively, and eleven-year-old William. Two bio ers, Frank and Fred Hale, and a sister, Mrs. Clara Anderson, are residents of this place. This is the second tragedy in the ■family. About three and a half years ago. Mr. Hale's first wife, wli<\ was Miss Nellie Clawson before her marriage, who had been in ii’ health, and who suffered a deran,ement of the mind, attempted suicide eV sending a bullet ■ through her head. This did not prove fatal, however, and ’be lived six months, her deatli beir.o caused at I that time by the course of her natural illness. Mr. Hale left the bank shortly before 11 o'clock. He had worked Sunday and this morning assisted the two bank examiners, W. C. Thomas and Arthur C»vens, who had arrived, in going through the bank books. Short . ly before 11 o'clock Will said he had ' a headache and wanted to get out and | get some fresh air. Going directly to his home, about two blocks distant, he walked into the sitting room, kissed his wife and then stepped into the bath room Finding his daughter there he turned and walked to the , barn, whence he cut down a trapeze, I which the children had there, crawled

! to the haymow and hanged himself. At 3 o'clock the bank examiners announced that there Was no shortage In the accounts, so far as they had been able to discover. It was also announced, however, that either State Auditor ; W. H. O’Btten or one ot his deputies. | would arrive at 6 o'clock to go further Into the affairs The general opinion Is that Mr. Hale s mind was temporarily deranged on account of heat and overwork, causing him to commit the terrible act of self-destruction. His home life was perfect and so far as known he was in comfortable cir- : cumstances financially. He carried 312,000 life Insurance. No arrangements for the funeral have been made. C. D. Porter, cashier of the bank, j went to Rome City Sunday" morning, expecting to return Sunday evening ; He missed the train, however, and I passed through here on the Gain just I afternoon : oon today. He learned o. ' the terrible afla:. after the train had left this city, and expressed much surprise, as his assistant, to whom be talked just before leaving Geneva, seemed in the very best of health and spirits. D. N. Erwin of this city, who returned from Geneva on the afternoon train, transacted business with Mr. Hale this morning and said he noticed no difference from usual in him. Mr. Erwin was among the first to reach the bam, arriving shortly after the body had been cut down, Geneva, Ind., July 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Alexander Bolds, one of the aged and highly respected pioneers of this community, passed away Monday noon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eugene Lindsey, west of this town. Mr. Bolds, who was about eighty-two years of age. had been in gradually failing health for some time, and especially since undergoing an operation at Fort Wayne about a year ago, for his eyes, he being in a partially blind condition.

His parents came to Adams county in 1836. and settled in what was then Alexander in Wabash tow nship. They remained here some , time and then went to Ohio again, the mother died. The father started to visit a son in Michigan and I was never heard from ggain.

He | was married August 14, 1556, to Leah I Pontius, who passed away about , five years ago. Mr. Bolds is survived 1 y the following children: Ex-Treasurer , Dan P. Bolds, a traveling salesman . from Indianapolis, but who resides a part of the year on the old home- . stead near Geneva: George Bolds ot . near Geneva; Mrs. Eugene Lindsey. . of near Geneva, and Otis Bolds, a far-. . | mer, living in Geneva. o - The Shamrocks crossed bats at the I local ball park Sunday and defeated I the fast Monroe team by the score of 7 to 5. ! in one of the best games ever wit- . nessed here, the large crowd was ceri tainly satisfied. The Monroe team is supposed to be one of the best independent teams in this part of the ! country. They came w ith a large i heart, to win, but vfent home disappointed and heart-broken. The locals ■ played fast ball and only had two errors, and the fast fielding of II “Cappy” Johns was the feature of ih'e 1 game. Buffenbarger pitched for the .' locals, holding Monroe to four hits, and had eight strikeouts. Monroe hand their wonderful pltrter, "Smelcher” in tli<* box for them. i : l he was clouted for eleven hits, while ■ there was one fhree-base hit I y Smith, two-base hits by Buffenbarger ■ (2), Engle one and Coffee one. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RH E Munroe . ..•) 1 11 3 0 •• 1 0 ’•—s 4 : Decatur ...2 0 0 04001 * -711 2 On next Sunday afternoon the Fort Wayne Badgers will be on the Sham I rock's field and a good game is ex pected.

A glance through this book gives one a great respect for that, which through ignorance or indifference, the majority are inclined to think as frightful, "crawly" things, ail to be feared ur held in disgust. The views of the lovely creatures with their beautiful and varied forms and colors, and the words that tell of their origin, the r advancement stage by stage through the various forms of life, their ways of living, and all, show plainly that even the little things in nature are all apart of the great scheme of the Creator’s universe, and worthy of the greatest care and beauty which He bestows upon them.
