RAY, J.N. - J.N. Ray of Larue committed suicide Sunday noon by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. Death was instant. Mr. Ray rose from the dinner table and starting for the door remarked that he was going to spend the night in Rogers. He went a few steps out into the yard and then shot himself. No particular reason is known for his committing the deed though we are informed that he had been drinking for several days. For a number of years Mr. Ray has conducted a small general mercantile store at Larue but he disposed of it a week or two ago. Mr. Ray was past fifty years of age and leaves a family. He was an uncle of Simon and L.G. Sager of this city and well known in this end of the county.
