Information was received in this city by George McMahon of the sad suicide of his mother Mrs. Harriet A. McMahon, at Tabor, Iowa, last Friday night. She had been stopping with her daughter for some time, and being in feeble health occupied the only sleeping apartment on the first floor of her daughter's home.

Last Friday night, after the rest of the family had retired and were asleep, she arose from her bed, and putting on a pair of shoes and throwing a shawl about her shoulders she departed from the house in her night clothes. Her absence was not discovered until her daughter arose in the morning, and after looking about the premises for her the fact of her disappearance was made known and a general search was instituted, in which all the citizens of the village joined. After searching for some time, tracks were discovered near the well, some sixty feet deep and further investigation led to the discovery of her lifeless body in the bottom of the well. The remains were shipped to this city last evening and are now at the undertaking rooms of Field & Estep.

Mrs. McMahon had for a long time been in very feeble health, and has passed through grater affliction than falls to the lot of most of the human family. Added to the cup of bitterness was the recent death of her son Frank, who died from injuries received in a railroad accident.

The deceased was a resident of Pottawattamie County for nearly thirty years. She was aged 54 years, 10 months and 27 days. The funeral will take place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Mr. Dryden's, ten miles east of this city.
