At the time of going to press, we have not been able to get any of the particulars. ============================== The Belleville Democrat (Belleville, KS), Thursday, September 18, 1890; pg. 4 SUICIDE. - Early yesterday (Thursday) morning, Delbert second son of Robert Thomson (sic), who lives about three miles southwest of Chester, committed suicide by shooting. The boy who was about eighteen years old, had been suffering for some time from the effects of a sunstroke which he received during the summer. He came down about six o'clock, yesterday morning and soon complained to his mother that he did not feel as well as usual and went back up stairs. Almost immediately after, she heard the report of a gun and running to his room she found him already dead. He had placed the muzzle of the gun under his chin and pushed the trigger down with a piece of lath which was still in his hand. The charge passed entirely through his head and mangled him in a horrible manner, The dreadful news soon spread among the neighbors and the Coronor (sic) was summuned (sic) but could not come so Squire John Brown acted in his place and held an inquest resultin (sic) a verdict according to the above facts. The remains were followed to the Chester cemetery (sic) in the afternoon by a large number of friends and neighbors. - Chester Herald. =========================== The Belleville Telescope (Belleville, KS), Friday, October 24, 1890; pg. 8 Robert Thompson, of Liberty township, whose son committed suicide same (sic) four or five weeksago (sic), desires us to correct a statement or story that is going the rounds of the neighborhood to the effect that his house is haunted and that for that reason he is pulling it down. It is true, he says, that he is pulling his home down but only to remove it to another place to assist in blotting out the remembrance of the sad and unfortunate occurence (sic), as the deed was committed immediately at the top of the stairs. This alone is the cause for removing the building, and nothing else, and we are only surprised that at this day and age there are people residing in this county that are superstitious enough to believe in ghosts or goblins.
