Henry Commited suicide by hanging himself.
A Sybille Suiside
Henry Langhoff hangs himself
Sick and Despondent
Henry Plaga arrived in the city last night about 8:30 from Fred Langhoff's place fourty three miles north of this city, in the Sybille Country.
He brought to this city the news of the suicide of Henry Langhoff a brother of Fred.
Mr Plaga related the facts surrounding the suicide about as follows.
Henry had been sick for several days or at least indisposed, and had been in bed most of the time. He had hurt himself lifting a calf that had been slaughtered. Yesterday morning he had breakfast about 8 o'clock coming in as usual from his room in the tool house, near the residence where he slept. After breakfast he returned to his bed.
Shortly after 11 o'clock Mrs Fred Langhoff's little girl about 12 years old went out to the tool house and there discovered the body of Henry hanging from one of the beams of the tool house. He had taken a rein from his harness, tied it to a beam, made a slip noose in the lower end and upon the wagon wheel put the noose over his head and jumped off. There he was suspended between earth and heaven.
The family was notified by the little girl and the friends came out to behold the painful sight. Earnest Plaga, Rudolph Hanks, Louis Bath, Mrs Fred Langhoff and the deceased's mother, the elder Mrs langhoff, besides the children were the ones present at the place. The men decided they would not dare cut the remains down sp they were left hanging and Mr Plaga at once started for Laramie to notify coronor Crawford of the occurance. On the way in Mr Plaga was taken very sick and had to be helped out of the wagon when he reached town and it was necessary to perform an operation on his back over his kidneys to relieve his intense suffering.
Coronor Crawford left this morning for the Sybilles. He will panel a jury out there and after a verdict the remains will be interned, a coffin having been taken out instead of bringing the remains to the city.
It is thought that Langhoff was not in his right mind at the time of his suicide. Coupled with his sickness it is thought that the imprisonment of Fred Langhoff recently on some stock matters had worried him and that reason had temporarily died at the time of his rash act. He was unmarried and aged about 30.
Langhoff's correct name is said to be Norman he being a half brother to Fred Langhoff. he has been known however by the latter name.
