!DISTRESSING SING TRAGEDY
ON FARM NEAR KIPPEN
Milton Holland, 19 Years, Found
flanging in Barn on Sunday —
Had taken Carbolic Acid — No
Inquest will be Held.
MiltonHolland 19 -year-old son of
George 1foiland farmer in Tuckersmith
Township near Kipper was found dead
in his 'fathers barn Sunday hanging by
;a rope. A fatal dose of carbolic acid had
previously been adutiuistered.
Although the young rgan evidentiy
took his own life the tragedy is .sur-
rounded by considerable mystery, Noth
ing can be learned as to any possible
motive for suicide and it is known that
Holland purchased in Hensel] Saturday
night a hymn book for service Sunday
Y
and some new collars, Indications are
that before swinging himself off in the
rope be drank the contents of a four -
ounce bottle of carbolic, which menu-
i,ers of the family say they are posit-
ive bad not been kept kt the house.
,The Holland farm which is about a
toile below Kipped was recently sold
to George Glen. The young man and
his father attended a sale on. Saturday
afternoon at Clinton of the Fisher farm,
which Rolland senior purchased. Milton
Holland is one of a family of six sons
and daughters three of whom were at
home besides himself. A brother farms
near Clinton. The family formerly re-
sided near Holmesvilla.
Will Be no Inquest.
A motive is still lacking for the suic-
ide of Milton holland 19 year,old Tuck
ersmitli township boy who hanged hint
self in his father's barn after swallow
i ing several ou nc
f carbolic acid.
es o bar 1
County Constable A. W. Whiteside
istated tlet The London Free Press Mon
day that he believed the acid had not
been purchased recently,
Young Holland appears to have end-
ed his life on the decision of a ntontent.
He was about to start out on a walk to
the bush with Iris brother when he
changed his mind: The brother looked
back from some distance down the lane,,
and saw him enter the stable,, where
he had apparently started to work
grooming a horse, A surry comb and
brush were found where he had dropp-
ed them at th,e rear of the stall.

Farm Lands Showing
Big Increase in Price
$7,500 Paid for the Fisher 50 -
acre Farm on Hruon Road
on Saturday. •
Paris values took a decided jump in
this section when the 50 -acre farm
occupied by Mr, Richard, Fisher on the
Huron Road, east of Clinton, was put
up for auction on Saturday and was
sold to Mr. George Holland; for $7,500.
y The bidding was spirited and with
each bid the price was boosted. The
farm `is a mile or so from town, which
no doubt added something to the bids.
