CROUCH on RATS. P"
John shannon Swallows Some and
Climbs the Golden Stairs.

Reference was made in these columns
yesterday to the death of John Shannon,
OF Buffalo Prairie, from the effects of
poison. At the time of going to press
particulars were understandable, however.
At the inquest held by the coroner's
jury, composed of DR.. w. F. Boughton,
foreman; j. M. Davis, W. c. Humphrey,
Moses Titterington. J. E. Sturgeon and
| w II, Davis, the following facts were ellie.
tied: The deceased was 20 years of age
| and resided with his mother, Mrs Mary
Shannon, who said that her son was
taken sick between 8 and 10 a. m. on
Wednesday, Oct. 90. He was vomiting
| freely, which he attributed to the use of
tobacco. His mothers suspicious were
aroused, and she asked him if he had not
taken poison, some OF which she knew
was in the house. He said no; Don't
accuse me OF that" She went up stairs
and found the contents nearly all gone Of
Il box of Rough on Rats" She imme
diately wanted to send for doctor, but
the young man said if she went for one,
he would 90 away and hide. This state
OF affairs continued nearly "a hours. but
about O'Clock Thursday morning Shan
non grew worse and gave his moths
er permission to summon DR..
Boughton, which she did. Shannon
lived in great agony until Thursday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. when he expired.
| DR.. W. F. Boughton testified to having
been called to visit John Shannon at 8.
a. M. on Thursday. and to reaching the
bedside by 8. He found the sick man )
circulation run down, his limbs and body
very cold and his tongue and lips red and
swollen. The physician became satisfied
at once that it was case OF poison. and
and at once asked the cause. Shannon
hesitated, but on being told that nothing
could be done for him without full knowl-
edge, he said he had taken teasponful
of Rough on Rats" and gave as bis rea>
son that he was tired of staying here. ]"
Witness administered such remedies as he
had at hand, and went home and sent his
son with Others. The poison had been in
the system over "a hours, and Shannon
was too far gone when the physician ar
rived for any treatment to be successful
The verdict of the jury was that John
Shannon came to his death by poison
known as Rough on Rats, administered
by himself with suicidal intent" No
particular cause was assigned for the rash
act, but it is supposed that i'll health had
something to do with it.
