PRATT COMMITTED SUICIDE
Mentally Unbalanced by Death of J.

Security State Bank
+ -M-
i James Pratt, 50 years old, for ten
| years a herdsman on the J. M. Curtice
estate near Independence, committed
'suicide last night at 3273 Oak Street,
I where he was living with friends. It
j was the outcome of several months'
I worry over the investment of $5,000 in
Oklahoma securities. I'ratt's savings
were drawn from -Mi'. Curtice two
years ago when, on account of ill
health, he ieft the farm.
On Mr. Curtice's advice, it is said,
ho sent the money to a hank cashier
at Norman, Okla., to invest. For sev-
eral months he had believed the mon-
ey lost. Yesterday he received a call
to come to the Sharp Building to meet
a man, who gave Die name of the
bank cashier, who had come here to
attend Mr. Curtice's funeral. Pratt
I went to the Sharp Building'and re-
turned about 7 o'clock last night.
"1 thought you were lost," said Mrs.
William Sharp, at whose home Pratt
Was staying.
"I might as well be lost," answered
Pratt, and sat down to supper in sil-
ence.- After the meal he dried the
dishes and went into the rear yard and
cut his throat with a razor. His body
was taken to Newcomer's undertaking
rooms.
Pratt was a native of Scotland. He
had been in America about twenty
years. So far as known he had no
relatives.—Kansas Citv Times, Feby.
