SUICIDE BY A SOLDIER. -- Early on Friday morning last,
a young man, aged 36, named William Milner Clarke, son
of a respectable grocer, at Thwaite-in-Swaledale, York-
shire, a private in the Royal Sappers and Miners, who has
been for some time employed in the ordnance survey at
Milnthorpe, cut his throat with a razor in a frightful
manner, near the National School, and afterwards com-
pleted self destruction by drowning himself in the river
Bela, which runs close by the school.
