April 1912 "F. J. Bailey of Jaqua, Kansas became a new subscriber to the Rattler this week." (Frank probably got his mail delivered to the post office in Jaqua)

Wray Rattler – 11-21-1912 Farmer Becomes Insane – Frank J. Bailey, a young farmer near Jaqua, Kansas became violently insane and tried to commit suicide by taking poison. The county sheriff was notified, and Mr. Bailey was taken into custody immediately. He was brought to Wray last Saturday morning and was tried in the county court before a jury Saturday evening. The jury found him insane and Sheriff Devling took him to the asylum on the early train Sunday morning. He made an attempt to throw himself under the train before leaving Wray but was prevented from doing so by those who had him in charge. While on the train he tried to jump through the car window and after arriving at the asylum told the officers there that he would kill himself at the first opportunity. This is a very sad affair as he has a wife and two children, who are left to hold down their homestead and to provide for themselves without the help of husband and father.

(James Thomas Bailey was killed May 1917 in Schuyler County  Missouri being hit by a train.  To be buried in Lancaster, Missouri.)
