men who had desired to erect two

given up the idea because of these
troubles. Before forty-eight hours elapsed
an energetic agent Of Chicago concern

Such clerks are rare, indeed, but they do

sckeniug sight. The man had been dead at
least month.
There was nothing by which the body
could be identified. Several scraps OF paper
were picked up near by, and upon one of
them was written "Evol." By the side of
the body was an empty tumbler and few
feet away was bottle that had contained
laudanum. In an inside pocket of the coat
was bottle of carbolc acid and razor.
Evidently the man was we'll prepared to
end hrs life, and intended TO take no chances

The remains were removed 10 the Morgue,
where q Cor0ner's jury found that IAN I'M

laudanum poisoning"
The suicide wore a black ribbed coat and
vest, checked pants, CATERS and brown
Derby hat. Deceased wore set OF false
teeth. The tailor who made the clothing
was found, but could not remember any
thing about them; so the chances are that
the remains will never be identified.
