LOSS OF PAPER CAUSED DEATH.
Frank H. Zimmerman's Mind Gave Way
When Forced to Sell Property.
Warsaw, Ind., Friday..The loss of the
newspaper which he had published for thirty

Dissatisfied democrats forced Mr.

with launching an opposition journal. The
veteran editor bowed to the inevitable, but
soon afterward his mind gave way, and his
