DETROIT, Nov. 27.--Paul Friebel,
filer, who resided with his wife and one
child at 455 Brewster street, shuffled off
this mortal coil early Sunday morning
by taking morphine. About 6 o'clock
Saturday evening he went to police
headquarters and reported that two
men had held him up short time be-
fore at the corner of Jefferson avenue
and First street and robbed him of a
$40 watch and $40 in money. His COM
plant was taken, but he was unable to
give a description of the men who did
the job.
Friebel then went homo about 8
o'clock and as soon as he entered the
house pulled a small vial out of his
pocket and drained the contents. With
out saying anything to his wife, he
went Immediately to bed and was soon
fast asleep. Mrs. Friebel mistrusted
that something was wrong. ON account
of his condition, and about midnight
she went into his room to awaken him.
She shook him several times, but it had
no effect, and suspecting the cause, she
went Immediately for DR.. Weed. When
the physician arrived, he found that
the man was already dead.

of age. who resided with one of his sons

Seven People Perish In Frightrul Con-
fagration.
DETROIT, Nov. A.-At about o'clock
Thursday afternoon fire broke out in
the fifth floor of Edison, Moore e. Com
pany's large wholesale dry goods house
on Jefferson avenue. No more terrible
conf1agration ever occurred in the city.
So disastrous was the result as regards
loss of life that it will always be re-
membered by the spectators as most
lamentable catastrophe. The fierce
ness of the fire prevented effectual work
in rescuing the unfortunates who were
penned in the fifth floor by the flames.
The fire really lasted only half an hour,
but in that brief period many lives
were hurried into eternity with but
few moments warning.
