A Thief’s Suicide.
Oelwein, Oct. 16.—E. J. Neville was arrested bore this forenoon on a charge of having stolen ten head of cattle from a farmer near Randalia. He brought them to this city and sold them to Heath & Humphrey, but before he could get away a message was received from the sheriff to look out for him and arrest him. Marshal Pickard had just got his prisoner inside the jail and remarked, “I will have to search you,” when the fellow drew a revolver from his pocket and before the officer could interfere he placed the muzzle over his heart and pulled the trigger, killing himself instantly.
