Bert C. BARNES, of Proctor, committed suicide at his home last Thursday by shooting himself with a Winchester rifle.
While many reports are rife concerning the suicide, Mrs. BARNES is alleged to have said that upon coming home Thursday evening he announced his intention of committing suicide and said that "now was a good time." Frightened at her husband's utterances she ran from the house for a neighbor but had only gotten a short distance away when she heard the report of a gun.
Returning to the house she looked in the window to see her husband laying on the bed mortally wounded.
She hastily summoned assistance but BARNES was dead before anyone reached him.
