Mrs. SI1fIdam's Relatives Doubt
That She Sought Death

Relatives of Mrs B. A. Skildam, who
killed herself at the Clarendon hotel on
Thursday, do not believe that she took
her life Intentionally. Elias Christianson,
her brother. was in the city yesterday
and declared he was positive that Mrs,
Skldam had taken the carbolic acid that
ended her life by mistake. He says there
was another bottle on the table where
the empty bottle that had contained the
poison was found, much like it, and he
thinks his sister made a mistake in the
bottles.
According to ChTistianson his sister has
had no financial difficulties, though she
has suffered much physically. Mrs. Skill
dam has property valued at $4,000.
