of some trouble in his bowels on Thursday

the bed, aud he drank the mixture. The
clerk then went down stairs. and went up
to see the old man again about two hours If
terwsrds, but found the door locked and
got no response to his knocks. Thinking
him asleep lie left and did not 60 to see him
until morning, but the door was still fast
