DEATH OF HANS HOWALT
Continual brooding over personal affairs and ill health was responsible for the death of Hans Howalt, 40 years old, a resident of Hinton who took his life last Friday by drinking Strychnine and rat poison. For some time past the condition of Mr. Howalt's health has been very unsettled and he became despondent. Mr. Howalt arose as usual on last Friday morning but he complained to Mrs. Howalt that he was unwell and
requested that she take charge of their general store for the day. At 9:30 a. m. Mr. Howalt made his way to town and called at the drug store where he purchased the poison making the statement that he wished to kill some rats. From there he returned home and drank the potion. At 11:30 Mrs. Howalt arrived home to prepare the noon meal and found him
lying on the bed evidently having been dead sometime. Dr. J. H. Robbins was immediately called but nothing could be done at that late hour. The deceased was a respected citizen of our city having lived here for a number of years and was a member of the K. P. lodge the Floyd Valley lodge and also the Masons. Coroner Wilkins of Le Mars was called and at
3:00 p. m. the same day and an inquest was held with D. Winters, Joe Levins and Henry Ideker as examiners. A report was made by the above men that he came to his death as the result of poison self administered while in a fit of despondency. Funeral services were held from the home
last Saturday. Rev. G. W. Shideler officiating. Undertaker Blood of Sioux City took charge of the body and prepared it for shipment to Alta where interment was held last Sunday. The deceased leaves a widow and three children, Adeline, Irene and Williams, aged 17, 15, and 12
