IL EST MORT.
DEATH OF COLONEL PETER B.
FREER.
A Short Sketch OF His Life A Sad
Ending-A Dreadful
Annihilatop.

The LIGHT is extremely panied to an
nounce TO his former San Antonio
friends and fellow citizens, the sad news
OF the death Of Colonel Peter d. Freer,
formerly ticket agent for the Sunset
route In this city. His death occurred
last night at II o'clock In the lunatlc
asylum at Austin, and a casket was sent
to Austin this morning from this city, to
fetch the remains here for burial, by the
San Antonio Commandery knights
Templar, Of which body deceased was
formerly an honored member.
Peter d. Freer was aged about 40
years, and Of these he spent great many
in San Antonio. For some years previ-
Gus to his death he occupied the position
Of Ticket Agent for the Sunset road at
San Antonio. lie was In the service Of
this company for II years. Previous to
that time he was Receiving Clerk for
Messrs. Adams & wiokes, and before
that time was in the stage business. lie
was an old comrade Of the late Joe c.
Foster in the Confederate war, and was
hnoNn anu ItspeClcu Dy All our Olu Gill
zens. His home was IN Rome, N. Y,
where he leaves two sisters and a
brother, his father having died about a
year ago and his mother some years
previous.
The narrowing details OF his aflllotion
OF insanity, which first became apparent
TO his friends about three months ago,
are very generally known to all his
friends. The direct cause of his insanity
Is not known, though dark hints are
made that fatal draught of the dread
full Spanish Mexican loco tea was
drank by him. OF this tea the Next
cans say 1t only takes one draught to
render a man insane, and all the stages
OF insanity, mild, violent, and finally an
imbeoile before death, Is sure to follow.
Ii Is made from the loco weed, a plant
similar to the Northern milk weed
which grows on our Texas and Mexican
prairies, OF n light greenish color, and
when broken, furnishes milky sap. 1t
Is said that horses, cattle or sheep eat
ing of this weed become insane, or
"locoed,' as the Mexicans say, and death
very soon ends their suffering. II is n
very subtle poison, hard to detect by
chemits, and Its work is sure.
