Retired Farmer Suicides

Myron M. Cady, a former resident of Pittsfleld, and a resident of Ypsilanti for the past few years, committed suicide last Saturday by shooting hiinself. Mr. Cady went out in the rnorning to care for nis horse. He did not return to breakfast in time and his little girl was sent out to the barn to cali him. The girl returned shortly saying that her father was out in the wagon and "sick to his stomacn." Investigation diFClosed a horrible sight, for, seated in the wagon, with his back to the dash board, layCady, blood drippiiig froto a ballet hole in the right temple. The ball had gone throngh the head and was afterwards found on the barn floor. j The cause for Mr. Cady's rash act is supposed to lay in the fact fchat he had mada an unsuocesslul endeavor to raise a loan in Aun Arbor, Saturday, which he desired to rnake in order fchat lie might proceed with the erection of a $2,800 house, plans for which had been drawn. He had been worrying considerably over the house and over sonie fiuaonuial losses of late, aud it is supposed the strain made him teinporarily insane. The deceased was held in high esteem by a large acquaintance. He was 64 years of age and leaves a family of eight children, otie of whom, Walter B. Cady is in the üniversity. C. H. Cady, the State street grocer, is a brother of the deceased. The fact that Mr. Cady still owned 480 acres of nnenCTiuibered land and had considerable money out at interest, inakes the case one all tho more pitiable, as it was uo doubt financial affairs that made him desire to termínate his life.
