Brandol was beating carpets in his back yard on Thursday afternoon when he suddenly gave up the job and went out. Later on his body was found in a deep waterhole in a stone quarry near by, and in a cleft of the rock was a note addressed to Mrs: Brandol, saying : " I can't beat carpets or clean the house. It ain't no use trying to make me. When you read this I hope you will give up the habit of cleaning the house every time you heard tire robin sing. " . A. ; —7 '
