Piqua, O., Oct 24 - J. D. Harnish was found dead in his store by an employe, who did not see the body until he stumbled over it. Mr. Harnish recently came from Dayton, where he was employed in a wholesale dry goods house. He purchased the stock of Frank Groff, known as the Buffalo store, and was probably despondent over dull trade, which resulted in his killing himself with a revolver.
