\ SUDDEN DEATH.
CHARLES r. HANLEY DIES OF
HEART DISEASE.
Came Here from Lafayette The Facts in
the Case J. q. Howell Cracks Joke
Uth-. I'm iportant Events

Charles +. IIanley, of Lafayette, who
came to this city some time ago to take
trcatme at the BortOn sanitarium for
the morphine habit, has. with the ex-
ception of few days, been under the
doctors care up 10 the time OF his death
which occurred Friday of heart fail
ure. To set Alright u false rumor that
has been circulated on the streets this
morning, we give the exact facts i'll the
matter.
Uanley was sent here by relatives
and commenced taking the treatment
for the morphine habit on Jan. 10th,
being discharged on Feb. 9TH. 1t seems
that IIanley desired TO die and, on two
occasions previous 10 his coming 10
Plymouth, had attempted to end his
life by shooting himself. lie repeat
edly told the doctor that he was vast
ing his time in treating him, as he had
no desire to live At the time OF his
discharge he left the institute. the at
tending physicians having requested
him To remain several days longer to
regain his strength.
Several days after leaving the insti-
tute he was returned and placed under
the care of Doctor Borton. Ten days
ago he purchased cocaine and when
discovered by the physician he was
nearly dead. and was then only saved
by the hardest work.
Last evening he was seen by boti
Dr. BortOn and DIR. Aspinall, the former
seeing him "a short time before hi:
death. The attendant was with hin
and, at the request of llanley, was fan
ming him. llanley told his attendan
that members of his family had dlet
of heart trouble, and as he made th'
statement he reached up To his Sld'
and fell over dead.
The only reason for this explanation
is that reports are i'll circulation. stat
ing that the treatment caused IN
death, while the facts prove that the.
were only giving remedies to counterac
the influence of the cocaine taken, III
doubt, with suicidal intent.

John Bowel Perpetrates a Joke ON -.
&. House, Travelling Salesman.
The genial proprietor of the Ross
house can appreciate good joke, and
will himself father one, even at the cost
of good nights sleep. John had by
some freak of fortune come into
possession OF fine diamond. II was a
"beaut' and all the travelling men whose
beat came this way. stopped over night
at this hostelry, partly to be enabled to
feast their eyes on this brilliant.
Among those who had become infat-
uated with this sparkler was a man
named j. {. House. Every time he ar
rived in Plymouth, j. r. would be COM
PEELED to hear the beauty of his diamond
eXtOlled. Now Bowel had a scheme. a
winner; and when several weeks ago
his friend House appeared he was ready
to spring the trap on this unsuspectiDg
victim, having purchased an excellent
paste for % cents.
The same conversation took place as
on previous occasions, only our friend
Bowel told House that he had dia
mOnd in the safe that had been left with
him. that ne would sell to him at bar.
gain.
The sparkler was brought forthwith
and as the cleaning beams of the
electric light fell upon its modest face, il
threw out wonderful ray of dazzling
light to cover the suffusion of bushes
