WM. H. CRIDER, AGED AND WELL KNOWN CITIZEN, LEAVES BED TO END HIS LIFE, AFTER

LAYING PLANS—IN POOR HEALTH FOR LONG TIME AND MIND

WANDERED.

BODY FOUND BY YOUNGEST SON

Who Searched With a Lantern anil Found His Clothing Near the Old Well—Bailed Out the Water and

Removed His Body Mr. Crider Leaves a Widow and Ten Children, All Grown The Deceased Was Born and Reared in This County Funeral On Tuesday Morning.

William Henry Crider, age 76 years, 9 months and 21 days, a well known citizen, who was bom and reared in this county, drowned himself Saturday night in an old abandoned well at his home, half a mile north of Trees' shop, on the range line.

Mr. Crider had been in poor health for a long time, arid bccause of his ailments and age, his mind wandered at times, it is said, although there was no thought of him ending his life. He was in this city Saturday and seemed as usual, but evidently had laid his plans for the act of Saturday night, as he had removed the stone from over the old well, in a lot north of his house, during the day. When his wife asked him why he removed the stone, he said he wanted to see if there was enough water in the well for his son to thrash with, and no suspicion was aroused by the action.

Late in the evening, when his youngest son, Forest, who was living with his parents, returned home, he went into his father's room and found it unoccupied, although the outer clothing of his father was gone. A search was instituted at once. With a lantern, the son searched the premises, including the barn and all the outbuildings, and finally noticed the gate leading to the lot north of the house was open. He went in that direction and discovered his father's clothing near the old well, from which the covering was removed. The well is nineteen feet deep and is shaped like a cistern at the top, the opening being very small, and it was necessary to bail out a large quantity of water before the body could be recovered.

Neighbors had been notified, and Frank Gibbs and C. M. Gibbs, of this city, were sent for. When the water was bailed out sufficiently, the body of Mr. Crider was seen floating in an upright position, and was removed by his son, Forest, and Frank Gibbs, with the assistance of others, and was removed to the home. Morrison & McDaniel, the undertakers, were called.

News of the death by his own hand, of Mr. Crider, spread rapidly, and those who had seen and talked with him in the afternoon in this city, could hardly believe that it was a fact. It was a great shock to his family and other relatives, as well as to his neighbors, who had associated with him for so many years.

Mr. Crider was born in Blue River township, this county, and has spent all his life in this locality. His parents were William A. and Catherine Crider, his father a native of Washington county, Virginia, and his mother of Tennessee.

The deceased leaves a widow and ten children, five sons and five daughters. The sons are Charles, Lucellus C., James, Oscar and Forest Crider. The daughters are Mrs. John Wood, Mrs. Henry Chandler, Mrs. John 'Mitchell, Mrs. James Moore and Mrs. Mae Fry, widow of Alvah Fry, who lived with her parents.

Funeral Tuesday at 10:30 o'clock at Brown's Chapel, with Rev. D. W. Evans, a former pastor, for twelve years, officiating. Interment at the Caldwell Cemetery.

A. M. Nason, farming near Canaan, Me., was badly crippled with sciatic rheumatism due, he says, to uric acid in his blood. "Foley Kidney Pills entirely cured me and also removed Numerous black specks that were continually before my eyes." Foley Kidney Pills are a uric acid solvent and are effective for the various forms of rheumatism. M. C. Quigley.

WHAT GREENFIELD PEOPLE SEEK.

Found By a South State Street Man Who Tells His Experience.

What the anxious sufferer from kidney and bladder trouble seeks is n»t temporary relief though that would be welcome enough what is sought for is a lasting effect. Mr. Nigh, of Greenfield, tells us here how he has found lasting good from Doan's Kidney Pills after long suffering:

John Nigh, 519 South State street. Greenfield, Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Quigley's Drug Store, did me more good than any other kidney medicine I ever used. Three years ago I was in such bad shape with a lame and aching back that I was obliged to give up my work for a week. The pains across my loins were so acute that I could not stoop, and every move caused sharp twinges to dart throughout my 'body. The kidney secretions deposited sediment, if allowed to stand, and the passages were irregular and painful. I doctored and took much medicine, but I steadily grew worse. I had often read about Doan's Kidney Pills, and I at last decided to try them. The third day after beginning their use, I noticed an improvement, and it was not long before the pains in my back disappeared. I am never without a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills in the house."

Found Part of Bullet.

An unusual situation was discovered yesterday in the case of Ernest Strickler, who shot himself ten days ago at Shelbyville. It was thought the bullet was lodged in his brain, but a part of the leaden missile was removed from his temple by the surgeon, the bullet having split and a part of it passing around his skull, just under the skin. The young man is conscious, but unable to explain the shooting.

Mr. and Mrs. Roy Robinson and children, Mrs. Mary Branham and Mrs. Anna Middleton were visiting friends in Shelby county Sunday.

Much Pleased—Colt Was Trained By V. L. Patton Has a Spectacular Future if Not Overworked While Young.

The Hancock county horsemen are considerably excited and many of them much pleased over the record made Thursday by the fine racing colt, Diamond Bell, belonging to U. G. Wilson, of Mohawk, at the races at Montpelier. The colt entered the race against six aged horses. In the first heat he had second place, the time being 2:18}4 the second heat he was first, time 2:15*4 the third heat he was first, time, 2:17. He won the fourth heat and the race, time-being 2:2:21

The colt is only three years old and was sired by Pay Bells, his dam being Vera M., by Venture. The colt has been trained by V. L. Patton, owner of Newton King, of R. R. No. 10.

If this colt is not overdone while he is young, he certainly has a great future. The real time in which he made the second heat was 2:14, but the official record which he was given was 2:15*4.

SKY HRE BUG THOUGHT TO EXIST

Many Fires of Unexplained Origin Cause Suspicions Grocery Store Was Damaged on

Wednesday Morning

Fire again early on Wednesday morning, with no satisfactory explanation as to its origin, strengthens the belief of many citizens that we have a fire bug, says the Shirley News. There is not a town in this section the size of Shirley that has had as great a loss from fires as has been sustained here. Thousands of dollars' worth of property has been consumed by the fire demon, and in many instances no satisfactory theory could be advanced as to the cause, which indicates that the hand of an incendiary might have been responsible for a part of the blazes.

As to the fire of Wednesday morning, which badly damaged the frame store building of B. L. Byrket on the corner of Main and Center streets, and which was occupied by Jesse Vize with a stock of groceries, different views are taken as to its origin. Some think a match might have been dropped on the floor and that it was ignited by the mice, while others express the opinion that some thief may have entered the store and either carelessly or purposely set fire to the building. However, there has been discovered no evidence to indicate that a thief might be responsible.

The fire when first seen was confined to the oil room adjoining the rear of the store, but soon spread to the roof.

Mr. Vize carried about a $1,600 stock of groceries, which he h^,d insured for $1,000. The damage to the stock was done mostly by the water used to quench the blaze. Mr. Vize came here last October from Kentucky, where he had conducted a store. He is a man well liked and had built up a nice trade and the people sympathize with him in his financial loss. While he is not exactly determined as to his future course, he will probably re-open his store here.

Mr. Byrket, owner of the building, is in Illinois on an auto trip, and it could not be learned whether he will rebuild or not, or the amount of his insurance.

Why W^men Are Not RICH.

Man is a millionaire many times over in the possession of blood cells. Wornan is not quite so rich, for scientists have proven that the normal man has five million—the woman only four and a half million to a cubic millimetre of blood.

A decrease in number of red blood corpuscles and a person '1 looks pale "—in fact, is anaemic, the blood does not get the right food and probably the stomach is disordered.

Dr. R. V. Pierce found years ago that a glyceric extract of golden seal and Oregon grape roots, queen's root and bloodroot with black cherrybark, would help the assimilation of (he foodthe stomach, correct liver ills and in Nature's own way increase the red blood corpuscles. This medicine he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By assimilating the food eaten the system is nourished and the blood takes on a rich red color. Nervousness is only

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange tbe whele system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

I was attacked with a severe nervous disease, which was caused by a disordered stomach and liver," writes MR. AS. D. LIVELY, of Washburn, Tenn., Route 2, Box 33. All my friends thought I would die and best]physicians gave me up. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and derived much benefit from same. My case had run so long, it had become so chronic that nothing would effect a permanent cure, but Dr. Pierce's medicine has done much for me and I highly recommend it. I heartily advise its use as a spring tonic, and further advise ailing people to take Dr. Pierce's medicines before their diseases have run BO long that there is no chance to be cured.

ASKS DIVORCE AFTER FURTY-FWE YEARS

Samantha C. O'Banion Asks To 3e Legally Separated From Francis O'Banion They Were

Married in Year 1867.

Samantha C. O'Banion has filed suit for a divorce from Francis O'Banion, charging cruel and abusive treatment and non-support for the past two years.

According to the complaint, they were married on the fifth day of May, 1867, and separated on July 20, 1912. They have no living children. The plaintiff also asks for a restraining order issued against her husband, preventing him from molesting her or coming about her farm of forty acres, which she says came to her from her mother. She says he threatened to do her violence if she went on the place.

An increasing number of people report regularly of the satisfactory results from taking Foley Kidney Pills and commend their healing and curative qualities. Foley Kidney Pills are a carefully prepared medicine, guaranteed to contain no harmful or habit forming drugs. They can have only a beneficial effect when used for kidney and bladder troubles, for backache, rheumatism, weak back or lumbago. M. C. Quigley.

ROAD DRAG IS USED.

Rush County Farmer Makes An Admirable Highway.

Hall Green, of Jackson township, has worked on a road extending from Five Points into Rushville with such care and good judgment in the last few months that he has perfected about the best piece of highway in eastern Indiana, says the Rushville Jacksonian. This stretch of road has been the subject of admiration for all motorists who have passed over it. There is an automobilist in a nearby city who pays a visit to Rush county very often just to take a spin over this stretch of road.

Mr. Green has worked wonders with the road by using the road drag at advantageous times. He has exhibited some knowledge of the methods which should be used in keeping a road in good condition. The use of the road drag after a light rain when the surface is wet, will smooth the level of a highway and in time all of the holes will be filled up and the road will be ideal. Frank Martin is another farmer who has used the road drag to advantage.

George L. Higbie, Mantqft, Mich., used Foley Kidney Pills for kidney and bladder trouble. He says: "I find for my case no other medicine equals Foley Kidney Pills for beneficial effect." They are a safe and reliable medicine for kidney trouble and rheumatism. Contain no harmful drugs. M. C. Quigley.
