Aged Man Hangs Himself.
Fred Geinke, seventy-two years old, committed suicide at Sioux City by hanging himself from a steam pike in his shoe shop. Brooding over the disposal of a cobbler’s bench on which he had worked for half a century, as well as family troubles, was the cause of the act which ended in his death.
