SuIcIDE.-From what We heard last
evening there is no DOUBT but that John
Mahoney committed suicide. He was to
have started yesterday morning for Ari-
IONA with G.. J. Wilson, for the purpose
of attending to store in the town of
Phoenix, but was delayed in getting off
on account of being somewhat under the
influence of liquor. During the day he
called at DIR. Alexander's drug store and
told him that he was going to Arizona.
and that be wished to get some strych-
nine with which to poison coyotes on
the road. The Doctor put up small
quantity in vial, with which Mahoney
departed. He returned shortly after
wards and told the Doctor that he had
let the bottle fall on the sidewalk and
that it had broken and split the stuff
Alexander then put up some of it in pa
per labelling it poison" with which
Mahoney again departed. He was seen
shortly afterwards to use the dipper in
banners saloon, and when he was at
tackled with the spasm Pierson made the
remark that be looked as if he had taken
strychnine. The yellow papers in which
the poison had been wrapped were also
on the floor and some white specs in the
dipper, so that everything points to his
having ended his earthly existence in
that manner.
