Hichman, a lad of 17, was found dead in the woods near this city today. In his pocket was a letter which indicated that he had committed suicide,although there are no marks of violence on his person, and nothing could be found to show that he had taken poison. The letter says," This is not a feak of an idle and foolish mind,but the results of years of suffering from pain and misery- the conclusion of a life misspent." He closes by begging all who hear of his lot to treat young men with kindness. He had a comfortable home and his relatives say he had no known cause for ending his life.
