Took His Own Life,
Sunday morning Wendall Swartz, a
thrifty farmer residing in White Deer
township, four miles from Lewisburg,
was found dead in his orchard, having
committed suicide by shooting him-
self through the heart, discharging a
gun by use of a ramrod. No cause can
be assigned for the rash act, as he was
wealthy and his domestic relations
were always happy.

or start a fire, as the leaves and timber

DEATH OF MRS. BELL,
At the Home of Her Daughter After a
Short Iliness.
Mrs. Mary Bell died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. William Boal, at
Earlystown, on Friday night after a
short illness. Mrs. Bell formerly liv-
ed in Tyrone, but about two years and
a half ago she came to make her home
with her daughter Mrs. William Boal,
where she has remained ever since.
She was quite an aged lady but until
shortly before her death was able to be
around and enjoyed good health,
About one week ago she caught a se-
vere cold and from that time gradual-
ly grew worse until Friday night when
she peacefully passed away.
Her age was 87 years, 10 months and
2 days. She joined the Presbyterian
church when young, and was a faith-
ful member of the same until her death.
Her maiden name was Sample, and
she was born and raised in Mif-
flin county. Two children sur-
vive her, Thad. Bell, of Altoona
and Mrs. William Boal, of Eairlys-
town. Her remains were taken to
Tyrone, her former home, on Monday
morning, and interment was made in
the cemetery at that place,
