THE CARBOLIC ACID ROUTE

Albert Bradburn Ended His Earthly Existence at An Early Hour Wednesday Night

LEAVES WIFE AND FAMILY
Had Been to Indianapolis the Day of His Suicide

Albert Bradburn is dead by his own hands at his home on the Mount farm north of this city. He committed suicide Wednesday evening, about nine o'clock, by drinking carbolic acid. No exact cause for his rash act was learned yesterday, but from what could be learned, he perhaps had troubles on his mind, and in looking on the misty and clouded side of life, decided to end it all by taking his life.

Mr. Bradburn with his wife and son Frank, lived in a little cottage on the Mount farm. Wednesday morning he went to Indianapolis without making his intentions known to his family, returning in the evening about eight. It is said that upon his arrival in this city, he purchased the deadly drug and proceeded to his home and seated himself on the front porch. He seemed absorbed in deep study. His wife, who had noticed his return but was busy with her usual duties to the home, did not know of his rash intentions. Presently she went out on the porch, and as she did so saw her husband in the act of draining the last dregs of a bottle, which later was found to have contained carbolic acid. Neighbors were notified and a physician called and Mr. Bradburn was removed to a bed in the house, but the end came before the physician arrived.

The funeral services will be held from the residence at 2 p.m. conducted by Rev. Bauer. Interment in city cemetery.
