Killed Because of "Funnys"

Killed Because of "Funnys" 
CHISHOLM, Minn., Oct. 12. --Because, friends say, he believed the 'funny' sections of the Sunday papers were drawn for the purpose of making him a subject of ridicule, Charles Marila committed suicide here by blowing himself up with a huge charge of dynamite.
