The Suicide at Artesia.

Meridian Mercury.1
We learn from parties who came in the
down Mobile and Ohio Railroad train last
nj ght of the act of suicide at Artesia, Wednes-
day morning. 1t seems that young man by
the name of James Keys, drummer, travelin z
for Louisville house, had stopped at Artesia
the night before. A young woman was seen
in company with him. but VIII a relation exist
ed between them is not known. n Wednes-
day morning she says she noticed him takin q
drink of waterodt of a pitcher and she asked
him what he was drinking that water for, that
it was too warm. He however insisted on
drinking it, after which he laid himself down
across a bed In the room. She laid down be-
side him and he put his arms around her. At
ter awhile she noticed him relax his embrace,
whereupon she arose and started towards the
door, expecting him to call her back, but he
seemed not to rotice her withdrawal. She
then went to him and found that he was utter
terly unconscious. Attempts were made to
arouse him, but all to no avail. He died
about o clock Wednesday morning, above
stated. Subsequent facts indicated that he
had taken sixty grains Of morphine which he
had bought at drug store in that town. It Is
supposed that the woman was the cause of his
troubles They were both from Louisville,
and the lady is represented beautiful, ac-
complished and in good circumstances. The
deceased left letter addressed to his father,
near Fulton, about fifteen miles from Tupelo
telling him that he had policy on his life for
four thousand dollars, that he owed a hundred
dollars which he wished to be paid out of his
insurance money, and the balance 10 be distri-
buted among his relatives.
