	Entry	THOMAS � Mynpoorie � A young man named William Thomas, of the Dak (Post Office) has committed suicide here by shooting himself. He had recently built a Bungalow, and was deeply in debt. He did not, through illness, attend his office for some days, and his place being temporarily filled up, the young man thought he was discharged; with this impression he deliberately set fire to his Bungalow (which caused the whole village to be burnt), and shot himself. He was found amidst the flames, with half his face blown off. About 100 Rs worth of property was lost, and several horses were found burnt in their stables.
