Geo. Busboom committed suicide in the county jail last Thursday night, by choking himself with a strip torn from a blanket. About 9:30 the other inmates of the jail heard him gagging and called to him, but as he did not answer they supposed he was vomiting, as he had been drinking in the morning before being committed.
About seven o'clock Friday morning, Mrs. Reed, who was locked in the corridor of the jail, went to Busboom's cell to ask the time, and discovered him in the lower bunk with the strip of blanket twisted about his neck and fastened to the upper bunk. She went to a window and called to some one who happened to be passing the jail, and asked that the sheriff be notified. Sheriff Case was called by phone and upon entering the cell, found Busboom cold and stiff. The corpse was taken to the Steele & Schuman undertaking rooms, where an inquest was held at 9:30 o'clock.
Busboom was an industrious, peaceable man when not drinking, but for the last two weeks he had been drunk most of the time, and has had a number of quarrels with people he met on the streets and in saloons. At this home he was particularly disagreeable, and his wife had him arrested and placed under peace bond last Tuesday. He promised good behavior and signified his intention of leaving town, but Thursday morning he again went to the Farmers' Home hotel, which is conducted by his wife, and his manner was so threatening that it was thought best to lock him up until he became entirely sober. Judge Boyle ordered him re-arrested and Chas. Wyatt locked him up. He behaved rationally during the afternoon, but seemed worried over his misconduct. The other prisoners say he climbed into the window and examined the steam pipes and fixtures overhead, but they did not suspect anything wrong at the time.
He leaves five children, three of whom live with the mother at the hotel, and two are working on farms near the city. He was insured for $1000 with the with the Maccabees.
Mr. Benz, who knew the Busbooms at Pawnee City, went down to the home to gently break the news to Mrs. B. that her husband had killed himself. She looked thoughtful a moment and then remarked, "Well, I am thankful for one thing; his assessments were all paid."
