Sad Case of Suicide.

Minneapolis, Minn., April 12.—Jesse G. Jones, the well-known lumberman, living at 2735 Park avenue, shot and killed himself on his wife’s grave at Lakewood cemetery about three o’clock Monday afternoon. Mrs. Jones died two years ago and Mr. Jones has been very despondent ever since. His mind has also been disturbed and perhaps unsettled by financial troubles. Mr. Jones was a 30-years’ resident and was at one time county treasurer.
