Boy Hangs Self
At State Farm

Charles Hubbs, 12 year old boy, mentally and physically deficient, a patient at the State Hospital near Woodward, ended his life by hanging himself Tuesday forenoon.

The lad went into a cloak room in the hospital in a fit of despondency, got on a chair, attatched [sic] one end of his belt to an iron pipe and swung off. He probobly [sic] could have been saved by his companions had they realized the necessity of hurring [sic], but they called assistance first. When attendants arrived the boy was dead. 

The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbs of Valeria, Iowa. He had spent some time at Eldora before coming to the hospital at Woodward.
