Upton, KY, Feb. 11 - Mr. William Dudgeon, of near Hammondsville, Hart County, committed suicide last night by cutting his throat.

He went out behind his house, and in a few minutes a noise was heard as if someone struggling by those in the house. They went out and found Mr. Dudgeon lying on the ground with his throat cut. He was a young man and had been married only two years. The remains of Mr. Dudgeon, wife and child were placed in one coffin, and interred in the Hammondsville burying-ground to-day. |
