Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock,
the community of our neighboring town
of Harrison was startled by the report
that the estimable wife Of Milby Cooper
had suddenly died from the effects of a
teaspoonful OF aconite, deadly poison,
which she had taken by mistake for
buchu. Physicians were summoned as
soon as the symptoms OF poisoning were
manifested, but when they arrived the
specific had done It's fatal work.
MIR. and Mrs. Cooper were well known
here, the former having been regular
visitor to our wholesale dry goods and
grocery houses tor many years, he be-
ing engaged in the mercantile business
at Harrison. The funeral services, we
believe, will be held at her late resi-.
dence next Sunday at 8 O'Clock T. NJ.
