j. Z. Horton Takes AN Overdose Of Dig.
italis-.-W as it with Suicidal
lntentg

Considerable excitement prevailed in
the lower end of the city Saturday evens
ing, over the rumor that j. L. Horton,
well known in that vicinity. had commit
ted suicide. The origin of the rumor is
attributed to the finding of Mr.. Horton
by his sou in a semi conscience condition
and an empty bottle labeled ''digitalis-
poison" by his side. and the hasty sum-
moning of physician. DR.. G. Ii. Eyse
ter arrived in short time, but found
nothing serious the matter, and soon had
the patient resting quietly, although he
refused to submit to medical treatment.
In the evening the rumor got out that he
had died, but yesterday, however, he SUR
prised the neighborhood by appearing on
the streets in an apparently healthy condi-
ton. An ARGUS reporter called upon Mr..
Horton, at his home 9l2 First avenue
this morning; and he expressed his indig-
nation at the stories which had found
vent concerning him He said he was in
the habit of drinking occasionally, and
on the evening of question he had
drank considerable gin, which as it was
apt TO do brought on palpitation of the
heart and he took the digitais to cause
relaxation. II have taken it for similar
affections" he said land know its nature
rs well ms you know the nature of water. "
The reporter also in terviewed August
Ilcimbeck. druggist at the corner of
Third avenue and Tenth street, of whom
the digilalis was procured. Mr.. Helm.
beck said he thought the drug was taken
with suicidal intent, that Mr.. Horton
purchased half an ounce, whereas ten or
| fifteen drops was an ordinary dose. lie
had no idea that Mr. Horton Intended
taking the entire half ounce at once when
he sold it to him
DR. Eyster said when spoken to
about it that the dose was not such
an unusually large one, and he did
not believe it was taken with IN
tent AT suicide. At any rate it was
Il rash act. and it will probably never be
known To any but Mr. Horton whether
he really meant to end his mortal exis>
