Commits Suicide
Belfield, N. D., Sept. 24.—The body of Andrew Jewell, aged 49, was found swinging from a rafter in a school house barn about 14 miles south of here.

The morning he suicided he left for work as usual, and at 9 o’clock he was found, he had tied a halter rope to the rafter, and when found his knees were bent and his feet touching the floor. He had deliberately rested his weight on the rope until strangulation occurred. Jewell was a native of Wisconsin, where a widow and a 17-year-old son survive.
