Suicide in High Lake

Jens Matheun, who lived on section 35 in High Lake township, committed suicide last Saturday forenoon by hanging himself in the granary. No cause is known for his taking his own life unless it was business trouble. He has lived in that vicinity for about seven years and has not been prosperous. He leaves a wife and four children.
