Lamoni Man Shoots Himself

Lamoni-William Smith, about 40 years old, manager of an elevator at Lamoni, shot himself in the temple in the Farmer’s State Bank here dying almost instantly. On his entry he acquired as to the state of his account at the bank and was told he had withdrawn all his money. He then picked up the bank’s revolver, which was lying on the counter, and fired, the bullet passing through his head.
