Mount Airy, Dec. 3—Following a reprimand to his boys for a dispute they had, Tom Brannock of this city went into the yard and hanged himself last night.
Mr. Brannock, who was employed in one of the furniture factories in this city, did a good day’s work and went home, apparently in his usual good health and spirit, and ate a hearty supper. Some time later, it is said, he had occasion to talk with his younger children concerning a dispute in which conversation it is alleged he threatened to leave home or hang himself, and in about 20 minutes his lifeless body was found hanging from a beam in the yard, which had been erected and was used by the boys in play for trapeze stunts and exercise.
