BE WANTED TO DIE.
So the Druggist Gave Him a Mild
Decoction Under a Terrible Label.


From the Denver Republican.
About $3.50 O'Clock last evening tele-
phone message came to police headquar-
tiers stating that man had taken poison
at go Broadway. Assistant Police Sur
geon Johnson drove out there in an ambu-
lance and found Charles r. Boyd, a
printer in the employ of w. H. Kistler,
lying on the lounge and making desperate
efforts to vomit and look deathly.
DIR. Miller was attending him, and by
administering emetics had succeeded in
making Boyd look a very fair counterfeit
of a would-be suicide.
DR.. johnson could find no startling poi
son symptoms, and growing suspicious
started to investigate. He found that
Boyd had first drank some whisky and
then emptied the liquid contents of bot
tie marked poison. The label on the bot
tie was most sepulchral in design. The
paper was black and the word poison was
printed across it in blood red letters.
On one side of the label was a gilded
figure of an impish looking skeleton hold
ing the lid of coffin; ON the other side
his counterpart held coffin on end. On
the corn ers were. skulls, fiery serpents
and 9th er horrid things
Having studied up the situation, the po-
lice surgeon asked Boyd where he got the
poison" he had taken. Boyd told him
he obtained it from Druggist Ward at
Eighth and Broadway.
Boyd was then placed in the ambulance
and driven to Wards place. There DR.
johnson found that about Z O'Clock Boyd
had rushed in and asked the druggist for
poison, He did not tell what he wanted
it for, but the druggist suspected and
gave him small bottle filled with Mani
tou water. He then selected the most
deadly looking poison label in his collec-
tion, pasted it on the bottle and gave
Boyd his poison"
AS a preparation for his trip to the
tomb, took a big drink of whisky
Then he swallowed the Manitou. Be
tween the emetics DR.. Miller had given
him and the idea that he was going to
die, Boyd was in a complete condition of
nervous funk" when he arrived at DO
lice headquarters. He was given a sooth-
ing draught and allowed to rest, before
being sent home cured.
The would-be suicide is only 20 years
old and of rather emotional Jempera-
ment. When assured by the doctor that
he would recover Boyd wept bitterly and
said he would try it again.
The cause of his desire TO die lies in the
fact that his sweetheart, whose name is
said to be Daisy" had proven false
Boyd says that during all the disturb
ance following his attempt" he lost a
picture of his lady love and some poetry,
all of which were in his pocket.

and again succeeded in quieting her tempo

To the Eitor Of the Times:
The situation appears to be this: The
Times demands repeal of the Sherman
law. because the world is alarmed and
Is scuttling out of American investments

Sherman law causes n 'scuttling out OF

gold drain. and the gold drain involves
early suspension of gold payments, and
early advent OF silver basis. Now II It
can be shown that the world is not

"scuttling out Of American investments"
or. II there is. that the gold drain Is due
