Just before going to press we received the shocking news through the Logansport PHAROS that Mr. C. S. HORTON, the well-known blacksmith and edge-tool maker, recently of Fulton, in this county, committed suicide by hanging in a hay loft. He moved to Logansport some two weeks ago for the purpose of entering more extensively in the business with a Mr. WOODWORTH. It seems from the letters left that he intended killing his wife also but later wrote her an affectionate letter and took his own life by hanging. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and an experienced mechanic. No cause is given for the rash act and no signs of derangement of mind was manifest prior to his death. The many friends of the deceased and his family will be terribly shocked at this sad news.
