DID HE SUICIDE?
The Death of Jacob Meyers Somewhat
Mysterious.
(From MONDAYS Daily)

Jacob Meyers, the well-known
liveryman, died someway Sunday after
noon, but just how is enshrouded
somewhat in mystery. He was about
all the forenoon in his usual way and
met trains with his hackney as was his
regular custom. In the afternoon he
was to have taken a party of young
men to Racine. Mr.. Fletcher, of
Fletcher Bros, was to have been one
of the party. He noticed that Jake
didn't get around on time, and so he
went over to the barn to see about it.
The barn is located just back of the
Stahl meat market on Wisconsin,
street. As Mr.. Fletcher stepped in he
asked an assistant something about
that rig which was to take the party to
Racine. The assistant said he knew
nothing about it, but that he would
call Mr.. Meyers who had gone up to-
the loft to take nap. 1t was rather
dark in the room up there, but finding
Mr.. Meyers he pulled at and called to
him, but he got no response. Then he
went down stairs and told Mr.. Fletcher
he was unable to wake him. Mr..
Fletcher remarked that he guessed he
could, and he rushed up the ladder
and catching hold of an arm and leg
he shouted and pulled, but no response
came. Someone who had gone upr
with him then remarked that he must

opened the loft door and admitted some
light. 1t was then discovered that he
was actually dead. just as soon as
this was found out, the party, con-
sisting of three, was seized with fear
and jumped out of the loft at once.-
The alarm was given and three physi-
clans were called. When they ap-
peared on the scene they examined the
body, but found no marks of violence
on it. They found a cup close by
which had some sort of liquid in it,.
which was taken by DR.. Pugh for the
purpose of examination. 1t was
found to contain cyanide OF potassium.
After they had finished the examina--
ton the body was taken to the Hanson
morgue.
When the body was found the feat
ures were perfectly regular, as though
he had fallen peacefully TO sleep.
Mr.. Meyers had made several threats
at various times in the past few weeks
that he would commit suicide. 1t G8ia-
not yet be positively stated that he did.
He had been ailing for some weeks
back and had complained that No W@s
attacked once in while with fainting
or sinking spells. 1t may have be II
that he was attacked by heart disease
and this was merely the elimination.
Tie inquest over the remains IF
Jacob Meyers was held this afterno n
before Justice Slater. The jury TT
dered verdict of death from SO, .
cause to the jury unknown.
