He was Tired of Life.

Special to The Republic

ATHENS, Tex., July 3,-- This evening County Clerk P. A. Hunt shot himself.
Three shots in rapid succession were heard and Hunt was found lying on the
floor with two bullet holes in his breast over the heart. The third shot missed.
The two bullets passed through the body and lodged in the wall. He left letters
stating that poor health was the cause. He was a Knight of Pythias. In one of
his letters he says: "I am tired of life. My mind is as clear today as it ever was."
He was badly deformed by rheumatism, which had bent his body into a semicircle.
