SUICIDE IN WHITE COUNTY.

Monday's Monticello Journal: A young man named Tule committed suicide at the home of William VanArsdel, near Monon, at an early hour this morning. Tule was nineteen years of age and killed by firing a bullet into his body near the heart. He had been to the home of his parents at Denver, Ind., Sunday and returned in the evening. The weapon he used was a rusty revolver which belonged to Mr. VanArsdel. It had not been fired off for several years but Tule cleaned it sufficiently to answer his purpose. The VanArsdel family was attracted to Tule’s room by his groans. He expired before a physician could be summoned. No cause is assigned for the lad's rash act.
