HAD LIVED LONG ENOUGH.

Emmet Short Wrote Note, Then Took Fatal Dose of Acid. Bedford, Ind., Dec. 1.-—Emmet Short, age thirty-one, was found dead in his bed at the Osborn board-ing-house this morning about 11 o'clock, the result of taking carbolic acid. He left a note saying he had lived thirty-one years, and that he thought that was long enough. He was badly hurt a year ago by a large timber falling on him, and had only recently recovered. A brother of the dead man killed himself at Salem about a year ago.
