DAY GLOVER DEAD

The distressing news of the death of Day Glover of Vale on Wednesday came as a distinct shock to the many friends of the Glover family in this community. Day was found at his ranch home shortly after noon yesterday with a bullet wound in his head and a revolver in his hands and died without regaining consciousness.

The supposition is that Day killed himself in a fit of despondency.* Besides the widow, he is survived by three children,one a baby about two months old.

Wallace Butts, field inspector for the Butte County Bank of Belle Fourche, made the discovery. Mr. Butts arrived at the ranch shortly after noon for the purpose of inspecting a bunch of cattle which Day was feeding for the bank. After knocking at the door and receiving no answer, Mr. Butts went to the pasture to look over the stock and when he returned to the house heard groans coming from within. Opening the door he discovered Day lying on the bed in an unconscious condition.

Mr. Butts notified relatives and Dr. Clark was sent for, but Day passed away before the physician arrived.

The funeral will be held Saturday at 1 o'clock with services in the Community building in Vale.
