HE WAS TIRED OF LIFE
Suicide at Leary Last Wednesday
Morning.

A Suicide at Leary Last wednesday
Morning.
7. j. Griffin, of the firm or T. j. Crit,
Tin d Co., died in Leary last Wednes-
day morning at about about 6 O'clock
from morphine poisoning.
He took the fatal potion about IL
o'clock the night before for the pun pose,
so he said, of obtaining relief from pain
of which he had been complaining.
At first it was thought that he took an
overdose through mistake, but a note
has just been foundl in which he gives
directions as to how his property shall
be disposed of. This seems to be CON-
elusive evidence that the poison was
taken with suicidal intent.
He leaves lands to nieces and nephews
In Texas-children of his deceased
brother, Warren Griffin, and his person
al property to his mother, who resides
here.
He was about thirty-five years old and
a prominent citizen.

HORRIBLE OIL.

a Breach Of Promise Suit Growing Out Of
the Standard COmpany's Poor Oil.
The worst catastrophe of all, however.
happened to certain young gentleman
who is desperately in love. Last even
ing no called on the ideal of his heart as
usual. The hour was about s O'Clock
!. ana on previous occasions the fair one
mad been in the habit of meeting him at
the door and when favorable oppor-
tunity afforded, kiss was the result.
Dim lights on such occasions were al
ways the proper thing, but on this oc-
casion they proved quite disastrous.
The young lady, not having her toilet
complete, sent the cook big black and
thick Tipped coon, to the door. Whether
by design or accident, the big hall lamp
f1ickered just as the door was opened
and our young friend, thinking this was
certainly one of the Favorable oppor-
tunities," lost no time in embracing
both opportunity and, as he supposed,
sweetheart, and imprinting robust kiss
on the lips of the latter. The coOn's
lips coming in contact with a soft sub
stance sounded like two planks striking
together and the noise so startled the

his arms from around her waist. Just
at ithis instant the young lady in ques-
ton appeared upon the scene, and a
breach of promise suit appeared very
favorable for few minutes. The girl
didn't scare Ito let the household know
that she herself had been in the habit of
kissing her sweetheart and here again a
dilemma presented itself. After 80 long a
time, however, the young man succeed
ed in convincing the fair damsel that the
STANDARD Oil Company was to blame
and she forgave him ON the promise that
he at once bring suit against the Oil
Company for defammat on of character
and the loss Of much peruvial bliss. i
would perhaps be well to state that pa

burners.

1t is general society to be pro-

How ELECTRICITY KILLS. -
After an investigation of a large
number of deaths from electric

electricity causes death either by
producing mechanical LESSONS of the
blood vessels and nervous system ,
or by stopping the respiration and
the action of the heart. Deaths OF
the former class result from light.
ming ard static discharges from
powerful batteries; blu, those of the
second class are met with in shocks
from the high tension currents used
industriallv. The two classes OF
death, another French writer adds,
are distinguished also in practice by
most important fact. While dis
ruptive discharges of the first class
produce death absolutely, the cleo
trio action in the second case fire.
quently puts the victim in a state Of
apparent death, from which he may
be restored by artificial respiration.
