The printing is quite blurred, I couldn't make out the last letter of the name very well. ERNO or ERNE John ERNO (or ERNE), aged 62, a native of Switzerland, and a barber by trade, shot himself through the temple at his home in Midway at 11 o'clock Friday morning, dying instantly. He was ill in bed at the time he ended his life. The revolver he used had been concealed between the mattresses of his bed. It was an old fashioned German weapon, the like of which is seldom seen in this country, and the dead man had often shown it to his friends who never thought that the once jolly Swiss would eventually end his days with the weapon. ERNO (or ERNE) had been a resident of Midway for 14 years and as a barber and as a citizen he stood well in the community. Five years ago he was divorced from his wife and since that time he had lived in rooms in the rear of his shop doing his own cooking there and passing a quiet lonesome life. A year or so ago he began to fail in health and his friends noticed a steady decline. ERNE (or ERNO) was inclined to look upon his condition in a philosophic way for a while and finally got to joking about the probable length of his days. Three months ago he told several people he did not think he would live long and he went so far as to pick out the nine, who, he said, were to act as his pallbearers. Very few people took him seriously and his talk along this line was not regarded as of any consequence, but subsequent events shows that ERNO (or ERNE) was not jesting. About three weeks ago ERNE (ERNO) was stricken with locomotor ataxia, and had been almost helpless ever since. He suffered a great deal and was unable to go on with his regular work. During the past few days friends and been taking care of him and Friday night two neighbors remained in the house with him. These men were Mr. KLINE and James MCFARLAND. Friday morning they made up his bed and while they were thus engaged ERNO sat in a chair, melancholy and depressed. The picked him up and laid him in bed and retired to another room, when in about a minute they heard a report from a pistol and rushing to into the bedroom they found ERNE dead and the pistol lining beside him, where it had fallen from his hand.
