HINDS Lincoln County Beacon, May 28, 1885 ---Thursday, May 28, 1885, at 11:30 a.m., in Lincoln Center, Kansas, Jacob A. Hinds, aged 22 years, late of Leon, Iowa. Mr. Hinds came from Iowa about four weeks ago, to visit with his brother, Judge S.O. Hinds, of this place, and other friends and relatives. He was in poor health and much of the time downcast in spirit, and in conversation lately his mind reverted to poison, and he once this week made inquiries of the clerk in his brother-in-law's (F.M. Kinney) drug store as to the effect of various poisons upon the system� Shortly before 11 o'clock today he was in Bertelson's shop and got shaved, and immediately went across the street to Mr. Kinney's drug store. When last seen alive he was in the back door of the drug store on his way out, and had a revolver, No. 44 calibre, belong to Mr. Kinney, in his hip pocket. After the lapse of about half an hour, Mr. Kinney and his clerk, Jules Luther, were startled by the report of a pistol in a small store room adjoining the drug store in the rear. They ran into the room and found Mr. Hind lying on his back � his hand, grasping the smoking pistol, lay across his breast. No cause assigned except despondency caused by ill health. Coroner's inquest this afternoon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HINDS --- Mrs. HINDS Lincoln County Beacon --- Thursday, October 8, 1880 ---S.O.
