Orville E. Manning
E. O. Manning of St. Paul, Neb., Patient at Methodist Hospital, Commits
Suicide
“My head hurts me so that I ache all over. I don’t want to live any longer.
Good-bye.” Within a few minutes after penning these words E. O. Manning
of St. Paul, Neb., who was a patient in the Methodist Hospital for eye
trouble, was bleeding to death in a tent on the grounds of the institution
Tuesday morning from a revolver would in the right temple. The body was
discovered yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Charles Duncan, employed as
a fireman at the hospital, passing the tent, the door of which was open,
saw a man’s legs as if a person was asleep on the floor. Going in he found
Manning with his head in a pool of blood and a revolver beside him. He
called the engineer, L. Duncan, who reported the occurrence to the hospital
and afterwards informed the coroner. The bullet came out through the side
of the head and embedded itself in the jamb of the door. Manning had been
a patient in the hospital since March 22, when he was sent there to have
his eyes treated by Rev. Dr. Matthews of Sergeant, Neb. Manning was a member
of Camp 1738 of the Modern Woodmen of America. He was a farmer and his
father, Reuben Manning, lives at St. Paul, Neb.
