Suicide Over Domestic Troubles
Ponca, Neb., June 26.-- Charles M. Ogg, a man thirty-seven years of age, committed suicide by hanging at this place yesterday. His body was found in a grove in the south part of town.
The man was a resident of Sioux City, Ia., had married a woman of this place this spring, and since then spent part of his time here. It is claimed that the woman in the case had been married before and that her first husband was still living and undivorced. Trouble in regard to this previous marriage is the reason for taking his own life. Before hanging the suicide had taken poison and attempted to drown himself in the creek. The jury's verdict was premeditated and deliberate suicide.
