Sulphur Springs, four miles west of the
city of Lockport, committed suicide Monday

revolver. Cretsinger is said to have
been mentally unsound for some tfrne,
and the fatal act was probably committed
while the unfortunate man was laboring
under temporary insanity. The
Lockport Union of Monday gives the
following particulars of the affair:
Last night about five o'clock he started
from home, saying he was going to call
on Ins son, who lived near. He not returning
home, inquiry was made, when
it was learned that he had not visited
his son. The family dog was then put
on the track ot the missing man, when
ho was found in a piece of woods be.
tween 4 and 5 o'clock this morning. His
son came up to him and put his hand
ou his father s shoulder to detain him,
when, without warning, the old gentleman
turned and discharged a revolver at
his son, but fortunately missed him.
Mr. Cretsinger then suddenly placed the
weapon against his own person and fired.
He sank to the ground and expired in
about ten' minutes. - A messenger was
dispatched at once for Dr. Kittenger,
who found that' the ball had entered at
the base of the sternum and undoubtedly
ruptured some of the large arteries of the
heart. Deceased leaves a wlfe and three
