Death by own action at Walhalla 8 C Columbia
Fred Tietgen, a young man, shot himself in the head in Walhalla Friday night. The only possible cause is illness. He was quiet but congenial and a favorite in the community. A good wife and health is man's best wealth. In the first instance you can choose wisely and to advantage if you are the picture of good health, made perfect by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
