POLO (Ohle State League) At Kafka Every TUESDAY and THURSDAY. ENDS LIFE BY HANGING Lifeless Body Found in Wagon Shed. POCKETS FULL OF MONEY A Small Fortune is Found on His Person. James Wilson, Farm Hand with Plenty of Money, Pleasant Home Takes His Own Life. With hla pockets bulging with money and his bachelor quarters equipped with everything that could possibly add to the comfort or man, .lames Wilson, a farm hand, aged C7 vpara. committed suicide by hanging at the home of Gottlieb Alack, seven Indies south of the city, Monilay night. .Wilson had remarked to a friend that he had nothing to live for; that friends, relatives and all happiness 'was gone. His health was falling fast, and In this demented condition It Is supposed that ho was prompted to take his own life. I The suicide was a westerner and only came to this country three years ago. Ho had been a cowboy, but for some peculiar reason had been driven from his homeland. The story of his past life was never disclosed only In part. I That the victim was a miser was demonstrated when Dr. E. L. Brady, coroner of Marlon county, searched his clothes. Dills ranging In size from flvo to twenty dollars and 'amounting to $813.52 wcro found neatly bound In small bundles and securely wrapped In tobacco sacks. In tho trouser pockets of the dead 'man there was found $570.00 and tho remainder was found In a leather suit case which lay unlocked beneath tho bed In his room. Tho case was a wry peculiar one In many respects. Wilson had been (working as a farm hand for, Mr. .Mack the past thrco years. He 'was (apparently well educated and kept a uauy uairy, jotting uown every tic tall. Ho also had a score of memo randum books In which he kept ac count of every dollar spent and ov- ,ery one earned. He had often re- marKPU to .Air. MacK that ho was saving his money, for what reason ho did not know but would end his remarks sadly stating, "No one will ever get any good out of my money."' As to Just rhat lie meant by tho il ih imiiimiL i ii.ii nn nnii lnrnnnpri in bury It The majority of tho bills found were of tho very oldest style nnd bore evidence of having been carried for many years. In ono package alone there was two hundred dol lars. Tho packago was wrapped In fifteen tobacco sacks and formed such a compact bundle that It appeared on ly to bo n packago of tobacco. Many of tho suicide's acquaintances are of the opinion that what monoy was found Is not one-half his fortune and that ho has burled the bulk of his riches. So far as Is known Wilson has no living relatives. Ho had often told Mr. Mack that ho was alono In tho world. Ho was very quiet nnd unas suming In his nctlons and his fav orito pasttlmo was smoking his old clay pipe which, ho always kept on a small shelf In his room. He was very Biiperstltlous and believed that as long as ho had a rabbit's foot In his pocket, no harm could befall him. Wherever a dollar of his money was found, there was nlways a rabbit's foot lying near It. There was ex actly nine of tho feet found In his pockets. Thcro were no weapons whatever found In his clothes or room, and It was evident that ho trusted tho safety of his money all to the protection of tho rabbit foot. Wilson was found early Tuesday morning .by Mr. Mack. Ho was hanging from a beam In a small wag on shed located near the house. No one had over heard h!m threaten suicide and little attention was paid to his peculiar actions. When last seen alive, Wilson was sitting In his room smoking his pipe. Ho had taken off his shoes and" wa3 apparently In a deep study. It s thought that Immediately after the Mack family had retired ho had wended his way quickly to the shed and eomniltted the act. When found the victim's shoeless feet was rest ing on the bottom of a wagon box which was beneath tho beam.' It was evident that after the rope had ASHLAND VS.

Eouls Schcrff today refused to sigh the ordlnanco passed at last night's meeting, ordering tho construction of clcctrlo light nrclios at Center ami Prospect st'reots, Center and State streets, Main and Church and Main and Mill streets. Council passed the ordlnanco and appropriated twolVo hundred dollars to pay for tho construction of tho arches. The mayor, In looking over tho ordinances (requlrlng his signature to put them -Itfto effect, stopped when he camoto the one ordering tho arches constructed, He called upon City Auditor Qulgley, who Informed i-m that Jhero Is no .money . In the fund to pay for tho construction of tho arches., ftubjlcy told tho mayor that ne so notified council last night but that the ordinance was passed notwithstanding. The mayor also learned that be fore council passed the ordlnanco, Gcorffe W... JVhysall, of , tho Marion Railway Light and Power company had Informed council that, If tho arches aro constructed, his company will do the' right thing- In the mat ter'of cliarglnp for tho lighting serv ice. Now that "right thing" business did not "listen good to Louie, so ho delved fiirthcK liito tho question, de termined to become fully Informed. In looking over tho reports, the mayor found thai the city's bill for lighting last year was $17,288.68, of which $3,363.39 was for gas lights nnd $13,925. 19"for arc lights. To light tho arches on tho square every night, It Would cost In tho neigh borhood of. $50"perwAck, .counting the cost o -hftaridesccnts and repairs nec essary. With four additional arches the cost would 3e ''doubled, which would make the xpeneo almost $100 per week .to theiclty.- It ;the arches were Illuminated 'every night. Tho llcht bills of tho city are growing too rapidly, according to the mayor. It costs $22.75 per year for each gas-.-strcct light, and tho Ilshts aro being added a't'tho rate of about fifteen per year. Arc iignis cosi the city $83.33 per .year each anu the number of arc lights is con- Ktantly on the lncreaso, "l do not bcllovo that the city is In a posltjon'just nt present to stand tho cost of the Improvement and tho oxpciisc 'after tho Improvement Is mado," was tho way tho mayor ex plained his action to, a representative of the Mirror. Continuing' ho sa'd, "I do Hot like somo of .the transac tions ot tho present council. Why should they' go ahead and pass this ordlnanco without knowing how much the lighting of tho archos will cost tho city? All they have Is tho assurance of Mr.. Whysnll thaj. ho will do tho "right thing." Whom will he do the right thing by, the city or the lighting company?, It seems to mo that It would -have been hot tert had council lirst secured a prop osition from Mr. Whysall and then had considered the.mattor pf arches. "1 do not deny"' that It would be nice to havo the arches. But can tho city afford It? In the west end wo havo a thriving business district. Are they not entitled to arches there as well as tho' central business sec tion?" When tho mayor,, belloves that tho city 'Is In a condition' ' financially to stand this expense' then will he at tach his .signature to an ordlnanco authorizing the Improvement, but not until then, . It is understood 'ttint there will be nn effort mado to pass tho ordlnace over tho mayor's veto vote at an nd- journcd meeting toabe hold Decern- ber 30. but It Is hardly believed that this can bo done.
