GREW TIRED OF LIFE

Old Soldier at North Manchester Takes a Dose of Morphine North Manchester, Ind., Jul 7 - James Cowgill, one of the old residents of this place, and a veteran soldier, committed suicide by taking morphine. He had recently been admitted to the Marion Soldier's home, but had not gone, and for a long time he had suffered from mental depression. He swallowed the drug at the home of his daughter-in-law, and refused assistance until he became unconscious, when aid was of no avail. He was 70 years old.
