His Injuries Self Inflicted--Shoots Him Repeatedly in Ht - His Determined Effort to Die--No Hint of Motive for His Rash Act. Singleton B. Cain, a holder of large real estate interests in and around Newman Grove, lies dead at his home, in the eastern part of town, the result of his own rash act. Last Monday night, about 8 o'clock he came down town, having promised his family that he would meet them at church, where revival services were being held. He had passed the church two blocks, and was in the heart of the business section, at the intersection of Fremont and Hale streets, when he raised his right hand with a 38-calibre revolver and sent a bullet into his head. A few seconds elapsed and the shot was repeated. The few people who were on the street were attracted by the first shot, but could not located the direction on account of the echo. When the second shot occurred the man was seen to stagger and fall, and before any of those near could reach him, he with his left hand bracing his body in a sitting posture, fired two more shots in quick succession, only one of which probably took effect. The man was picked up for dead and carried to Anderson's drug store. Physicians were summoned and two of the bullets were extracted, after which he was carried to his home, where he partially regained consciousness, enough to recognize the members of his family, but from the time he fired the first shot until he expired he uttered no sound, not even a groan. He lived fifty-four hours after inflicting the mortal wound, dying this morning. Any of the three shots that entered his head were sufficient to cause death. The third bullet was extracted yesterday morning by trephine. The operation being done by Drs. Frink and McMahon, the ball being removed from the opposite side of the head from where it entered. Mr. Cain stood well in this community, was a prominent church and Sunday school worker, ardent in politics and temperance, a leader in fraternal societies, having membership in the I. O. O. F., M. W. A., the Rebekahs and Royal Neighbors. He leaves a large family in comfortable circumstances. He has left no word, written or spoken, that would in any way explain his rash act. If anything was on his mind, worrying him, he gave no sign. He was born in Ohio, on March 14, 1856. --Valentine (Nebraska) Democrat, 20 March 1902 Mr. Cain does not have a marker at this cemetery.
