of a Swede named Caveant, Of Kandiyohe

no means of asCertaining the amount of

very heavy. Many small towns have been
destroyed, and solitary farm

A Tragic Occurrence --- Mysterious
Death,


CHICAGO, October G.
A tragic occurrence took place this
morning at an early hour, resulting In the
mysterious death of Barton Edsall, Of the
well.knOwn wholesale druggist house Of
Hurlburt Il Edsall, No. 80 Lake street.
For some time past Mr.. Edsall, who re.
sides at No. 3 Washington Place, had
been suffering from toothache and neural.
gia, and in order TO relieve bis pain, he
had been taking nitrate of chloral. About
one o'clock this morning Mr.. Edsall rose
from bis bed to procure some water for
his little child. His wife was awake nj
the time, and cautioned him against taking
any more Of the drug, and 10 rejoined
that he would be careful, and then told
her and the child to go TO sleep, and they
were soon slumbering. About o'clock
Mrs. EdSall was startled by the report Of
two or three pistol shots She Instantly
rose from her bed, and then discovered
that her husband was missing. She then
ran down stairs, md on the floor discov-
cred him bleeding and gasplng, with q
bullet.hole in the left side Of his fore
head and revolver lying by bis side.
lie expired without uttering a word.
Upon an examination oi the revolver II
showed that two barrels had been empti.
ed and two other caps had been exploded
without dlschargiDg the cartridge. One
of the balls was EMBEDDED in the side Of
the hall door, while the other had entered
the head of the deceased. BY whom Mr..
Edsall was shot Is a mystery. There Is
ground for believing II was done by burg.
lars The theory Is that Mr.. Edsall hav.
ing heard them in the house had LETT his
bedroom in pursuit, and having met them
in the hall had an encounter resulting In
his death. This theory Is strengthened
by the fact that the front and back hall
doors were open when Mr.. Edsall was
first discovered, and by the fact that the
police had a short time previously seen
two suspicious persons In the Vlclhlly o'
his residence. The theory that he com
mitted suicide is not sustained by his
friends. as they claim he had no motive
for doing 60, His family relations were
ali of n Rappy character, and his business
wsS w T nrosperous n in every sense, Only last
evenIng, In company with his wife, he was
nrssent rs at the wedding Of friend, and
sppeared in the best spirits. There can
only be the barest possibility that under
theinlluence Of the drug he was using he
might have committed selfdestruction
