Haas (Suicide – 4 Jul 1918)

On July 4th, a man named Haas, living at Ashland, committed suicide on the train which comes through Neillsville at 4:07 in the afternoon. The man had gone into the ladies toilet room just before it reached Wausau and there cut his throat and opened the arteries in his wrists. His wife was with him on the train and they had expected to get off at Wausau. When the train reached that station the man could not be found and it was not until the rain reached Marathon City that he was located. He was then barely alive and died when taken off the train at Marathon City. He had been engaged in the saloon business at Ashland and was about 45 years of age.
