JOE ROGERS COMMITS SUICIDE

Joe Rogers, of the Mt. View vicinity committed suicide by cutting his throat with his pocket knife, about 12 o'clock Saturday night at the home of his brother-in-law, H. G. Bishop, who lives 5 1/2 miles south west of Verden.

Joe Rogers in company with his uncle, W. P. Sherwood, arrived at the Bishop home Saturday afternoon, and had only been there a few hours. Dr. Jones of Verden was called soon afterwards, but he died about twenty minutes before the physician arrived. He lived an hour or more and conversed with the people in the house. Refused to give any reason for committing such a rash act. A note, found in his pocket after his death, bade all his people good-bye.

Deceased was thirty-five years of age and leaves an aged mother as well as other relatives to mourn his loss.

Funeral services were held at the grave Monday evening conducted by Rev. Anderson and interment made in the Verden cemetery.
