MORPHINE
Swallowed With Suicidal Intent.
The Act Proved Fatal.

Phillip Devol, about 81 years old,
created quite an excitement in Bev-
erly Tuesday evening while he was in
toxicated by procuring about fifteen
grains of morphine and swallowing
the entire amount of the deadly drug.
He felt sure that the drug would do its
work well and went home to his moth
er and told her what he mad done. A
physician was hurriedly summoned,
and he did all that he could to counter
act the influence of the drug, but IL
proved that too much of the poison
had been absorbed by the system to al
low his efforts to be ofany avail toward
saving the young mans life.
Young Devol had resided for some

FOUNDATION
Can Be Had on the Ice HarbOr Lot
As Good as ANY Other Place.

Mr.. Edmund Moeser, of GAINESVILLE,
the engineer in charge of the Mus
kingum river Improvement. was in the
city on business Wednesday and is
reported as having said in conversa-
tion regarding the prospective location
of the new court house on the Ice Har-
Dor lot, that he did not see why good
foundation properly laid on the clay
formation of that lot would not be as
good and durable as foundation laid
any place else. Mr.. Moser stands high
as an engineer, and his opinion should
lie worth something at least as the
opinion of a man of wide experience in
such matters.
