SUICIDE AT LEON
LEON, Jan. 1 - Tom Koger, age 38 years, committed suicide at his residence south of Leon, shooting himself through the head with a 32-calibre revolver. Death was instantaneous. He went into a room, lay down on the bed and shot himself, the bullet entering the head about an inch in front of the right ear. No motive for the deed is known to exist. Koger leaves a wife and six children. He was a well respected and industrious citizen, until recently employed in Swift and Co.'s packing house.
