SECOND MAN HAS DIED.
And Third Member of an Indiana
Suicide Club Is Being Watched.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE city
of Frankfort, in Clinton county, this
state, has a genuine novelty in the ex-
istence of what is firmly believed to be
a Suicide club. Two members have al
ready sought relief in death, and at
least three remain to carry out the
original compact. Several days ago
Fred Greiner, who served in company
c. One Hundred and Fffty-eighth In
diana during the Spanish-Anerican
war, swallowed morphine and died.
Last night Andrew Thompson, who
served in the same company, followed
his example. Previous to his death
Thompson told a companion Of the ex-
istence of the club, Of which both he
and Greiner were members, and that
three others would soon accompany
them to the grave.
Both Greiner and Thompson had
formed dissipated habits, from which
they had several times tried to rid
themselves without permanent results
and this was the chief reason impell
ing the self-destruction. Thompson's
determination is shown by the fact that
after swallowing the potion and finding
no immediate results, he repeated the
dose. Before taking the poison he told
several friends of his approaching dis
tend the burial of his body.
The city authorities believe that the
Suicide club has a tangible existence,
and suspicious points to at least one
other members so closely that all the
druggists in the city have been ordered
not 70 sell this particular individual
any poison, no matter what the cir
cumstances. The town is much ex-
cited.
