FARMER COMMITS SUICIDE
J. M. Alexander a farmer who was about 65 years of age committed suicide by taking carbolic acid at his home near Sweetwater last Tuesday after returning from Erick where he had been on business.
Mr. Alexander bought the George Feiland farm last winter and planted a crop this spring. Everything seemed to go dead wrong with him. His crop was short and his financial affairs got in a tangle and he grew despondent after brooding over business matters and at last he decided to end his troubles.
On his way home from town he remarked that he only intended using about six feet of that sand, but nothing was thought about the remark until he had taken the poison. He lived about three hours after taking poison.
Mr. Alexander was well liked by his neighbors and no other causes can be attributed for his taking his own life. He leaves a large family to mourn his death. -- Cheyenne Star
