an End to His Worldly
Troubles.

Samuel r. Eberley, young man % years
old, son OF w. II. Eberley OF Hockey, ar
rived In the city about II o'clock Tuesday
evening and went TO the residence of John
l.. Dupree at s16 Colorado street, the
Dupree and Eberley families being old ac-
quaintances and connected by marriage.
When he reached the house he told his
friends that he had taken morphine and
was going TO die, In evidence OF which he
exhibited an empty bottle. The members
of the Dupree family became alarmed at
this and Started to send for n doctor
whereupon Eberlcy assured them that II
was all Joke, and that instead OF pols-
onous drug the contents of the bottle which
he had taken was merely sulphate oil
qtinine. He became quite sick and vomit-
cd violently. which fact relieved the an
xiety of his friends who naturally sup
posed that tho vomiting had emptied his
stomach of any drug which he might have
taken.
Eberley went 10 bed and arose yester.
day morning. looking and feeling very
badly. During the morning he felt SO
weak and i'll that he went back to bed
supposedly TO sleep off the effects of his
sickness. Yesterday evening about
o'clock he was found dead in bed. Justice
fitzc was summoned and held an inquest
over the remains. The following letter
written by the deceased and found In a
~ocket In his clothing indicated conclusive
