A very tragic death occurred here on Tuesday at 11 a.m. Paul Roach, who was boarding at Isaac Love's, while alone in his room, placed a revolver at his mouth and instantly killed himself. The body fell backward upon the bed. No cause is known for the rash act. He was about thirty-five years of age, and for the past year had been employed in the implement establishment of Linus Walch. His relatives are residents of Kansas.
