Desperate Holdridge Farmer Carl Halin Ends Life in Fire
Wealthy farmer Carl Halin nine miles northeast of Holdridge killed himself with a gun about ten o clock last night after locking his fine pure bred cattle in the barn and setting it and his home ablaze. The chared body was found between two walls as the house caved in. The barn and granaries were destroyed with thousands of bushels of last year’s crop and hundreds of tons of hay lost with all blooded stock killed, a loss feared to total thousands of dollars. Friends suggest his wife’s illness may have driven temporary insanity and note efforts to shield her from the news.
