         Suicide at Bay City - JAMES WATSON, Jr., of Bay City,
       committed suicide Tuesday night by cutting his throat
       from ear to ear with a razor or sharp knife. We have
       but few of the particulars. MR. WATSON had been drinking
       very hard for a week past, and it was probably while in
       a fit of delerium tremens, or while laboring under a
       state of mind induced by excessive dissipation, that he
       committed the fatal deed. MR. WATSON is a young man of
       about 30 years of age, and at the time of his death was
       engaged in the Grocery business, having a very good
       trade. He has some property and is comfortably well off.
       He has been married now a little over a year, during
       which time, and in fact for the past two or three years,
       he has bourne the reputation of being a hard drinker.
       Some time ago he was arrested and confined in the jail
       a short time on the complaint of his wife for alleged
       or threatened violence.
