W. G. Seeley and Family

 

W.G. Seeley and family are about to remove to Broken Bow, at which place he is to take charge of the Foster & Smith lumber yard. 

 

This town will regret to lose Mr. Seeley and his estimable family.  Mr. Seeley is a good business man and what may be termed a hustler, and under his management the lumber business of that company at this place has prospered. 

 

The family have many accomplishments and will be greatly missed in church work and in social circles. 

 

We wish them an equal measure of success and prosperity in their new home.

Pioneer Hangs Himself   

S. F. Clark, Aged Resident of Silver Creek, Ends Life.

Sllver Creek, Neb., July 3. - S. F. Clark aged sixty years, an old resident of the Platte valley in Polk county, committed suicide by hanging. He took a piece of rope from a hayfork in the barn of C. E. Wamsley, entered the hay loft of Mr. Wamsley's barn, tied the rope to a rafter, and strangled himself to death. The body was discovered shortly afterward by Mr. Wamsley, who cut it down, but was unable to resuscitate the suicide. He had been mentally unbalanced for some time past.
