BOY TAKES STRYCHNINE.
Kills Himself to Avoid Punishment
from His Father,

The l2.year-old son Of John Defiance,
a negro. who lives at Manning, killed
himself last evening by taking strych-
nine. The only motive the boy had was
to escape a whipping his father was
going TO give him. Before leaving for
his work yesterday morning Defrance
told his son TO be sure and give the
chickens water, and told him n he neg
lecled Il that he would punish him. The
boy had failed In this duty several
times before. and yesterday he got TO
playing with some children and forgot
10 water the chickens. The boy told his
companions that his father had threat
ened to whip him when he came home,
but ne guessed he wouldn't az he pro-
posed TO kill himself with coyote poison.
His father had purchased some strych-
nine some time before 10 kin some
animals that were getting his chickens,
and he cautioned the boy about touch
ing IL. When the father returned home
last evening and saw that the boy had
neglected to do as he had told him.
he prepared 10 whip him, but the boy
complained Of a stiffness in his limbs.
The father perceived that there was
something wrong and went TO fnd the
bottle containing the poison. He found
II under the bed, partially emptied.
The boy had carried out his threat
and before the father could help him,
or a physician could be got to him, he
was dead
