The deceased was a native of Pennsylvania having been born in Westmoreland county, March 4, 1815. He graduated from Oxford University in 1837 and was ordained a missionary babtist minister in 1352.

He came to Kansas in 1869 and purchased the farm northeast of Thayer which he occupied nntil his death. His death was from general prostration the result of the an attack of la grippe 2 years ago.

The tin roof of the Condon Bank building was rolled up like a scroll and deposited in the back yard, and all the chimnies blown down. The tower and wheel of the wind mill for grinding feed, was toppled over. The roof of the Commercial House was taken off and the front of the drug store.

Scarcely a piece of property in the city but received more or less damage. John. Leach, a former resident of Chanute, committed suicide recently at Kansas City, by taking a fatal dose of morphine.

Deceased, who was about 50 years old, left a letter to his wife in which he asserted as the cause of his taking his life, his inability to secure means to comfortably care for her and the family, which consisted of three daughters, two of whom are young ladies, and a son about. 14 years old, and that he, being insured for $4,000 they would be more benefitted by his death than by his efforts while living. Ordinarily, to suicide is to do a cowardly act, but it would appear in this instance, that a certain amount of heroism, induced by extraordinary affection made it an act of bravery. The fond, loving husband and father, being himself unable to provide for the comfort of his loved ones as well living as when dead, fearlessly and for their sake seeks death and enters the unknown existence to which death gives birth, that they might procure the means of comfort provided for on the occurrence of that event. However wrong the act itself may be deemed, the motive governing it makes it heroic.
