Monday afternoon the people of this city were shocked when the report was circulated that Elmer Lacey had shot himself. There was no apparent cause for such an act, and it came as a sad surprise to his family and friends. Mr. Lacey went to Junction City Friday morning after his wife and two children, from whom he had been separated since Christmas. He returned to Longford with them Monday morning on the Santa Fe, Their other little child, a little boy, had been here with his father and they intended to start home life new. After dinner Mr. and Mrs. Lacey were in their room at the hotel. He asked her to go down stairs and get some letters and bring them up. She returned in just a minute to get the key to the trunk, and the door was locked, but he let her in and gave her the key. When she returned with the letters she found the door locked again but this time she could get no response. She called the other members of the family and when the door was broken down he was found dead. He used a small 22 caliber revolver and to make sure of reaching his heart he opened his shirt and pressed the barrel of the gun between his ribs. Evidently it killed him instantly. The coroner was called from Clay Center but an inquest was not necessary and some none was held. Funeral services were held yesterday at the Evangelical Church and interment was in the Athelstane Cemetery.
