OTHO MINTON HANGS HIMSELF IN A BARN
Otho Minton, an employee of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., took his own life by hanging in a barn at his home near Bright last Tuesday evening. A note at the rear door of the Minton home, found by Mrs. Minton on return from a neighbor, advised her not to come to the barn alone. Suspecting that all was not well, she rushed to the barn and found the lifeless body of her husband.
