SCIATION.] t, Friday.
An inquest was held at Styx yesterday on the body of Albert Edward Salter. It was stated that deceased went to bed at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday night apparently in his usual health. About six o'clock next morning, however, his wife found him hanging by a rope from a beam in his cowshed quite dead. He had suffered from rheumatics and was sometimes despondent, and had been worrying lately about some losses he had in his stock and his crops. A verdict was returned that deceased committed suicide by hanging himself while temporarily insane.
