Suicide.

Last Friday, in Franklin township, this county, on the farm of Mr. Ilymer, Samuel Allen, a well known residgnt, committed suicide by shooting. The facts connected with the sad affair, as we hear them, arc as follows: Allen and his wife did not get along together very well, and there had been more or less bickering and quarrelling for a long time. Some time before the tragedy Mrs. Allen had gone to her father’s, and on last

Biyylt seems that the anti-llwnaites of this county who visited Indianapolis this week to make Tom’s cake all dough, fell short of the mark. They return wiser, but we hope not sadder men. B^y-Tho arrangements now being perfected for the Eourth of July celebration demonstrates the fact that it is going to be a pleasant, successful and grand affair—make up your mind to spend the day here. BSUlnvitations are out for tho wedding of Mr. E. Hawkins, M. D., of Saline City, formerly of Greencastle, and Miss Kate Hickson, daughter of Dr. Hickson, of Riley, Indiana. The ceremony takes place at tho residence of the bride’s parents, on Thursday, June 24,

there to talk matters over with her. During the interview it was agreed that they should separate, and to this end it was determined that the relatives meet at Allen’s house, tho next day, to divide the household goods. Allen then started for home, but in the meantime decided to remain over night at Mr. Lafollett’s residence. In tho morning he requested Mr. Lafollett to go home with him, and on arrival there Lafollett was asked to go to tho residence of Allen’s brother and invite him to come over also. During Mr. Lafolktt’s absence, Allen again went over to his house and asked Mrs Lafollett for her husband's pistol—a large navy revolver. She refused to let him have it, but he was determined, took possession of the weapon, and carried it away. When the brother he had sent for arrived at the house, he found Allen breathing his last, with a pistol wound in the head, showing that the hall entered near the right ear, passed through, and came out on the other side. He had written quite a lengthy note before he committed the rash act, in which he bequeathed his property to his wife and only child, and also requested the former to attend his funeral. Deceased was man ied in tho year 1877 i and was about twent3 ? -e ; ght years ol age. By some it is thought that sickness to a great extent was tho cause of suicide, for he had long been troubled with diseased stomach and lungs, and suffered greatly therefrom, while others attribute tho act to domestic troubles. The letter written by deceased before he committed the deed, wo present be-
