sermons that we have listened to il. son e

utterance, and every word was listened
to with almost breathless attention by
the large congregation

Deacon was conferred upon Rev l. l.

siding Elder w. F. Meadors and Rev.

Special to Times Republican,.
Eldora, April Ism ]. Frisbee, a
well-known and respected citizen of this
place, died very suddenly about 10
o'clock this morning under circum-
stances that at first excited suspicion
that he had taken poison either with
suicidal intent, thru the agency of some
person with murderous intent or by ac-
cident. Developments leave practically
no doubt that he took the poison by ac-
cldent. Mr.. Frisbee was taken sick
about 9 O'clock and 1t was soon appar-
INT that he had been poisoned. Doctors
worked with him and every effort was
made to revive him, but without avail.
The county attorney and others were
called in and after an investigation
came to the conclusion that Frisbee had
taken dose of strychnine by mistake.
IL appears he had been suffering with
kidney trouble and had been taking
calomel. etc, and had in some manner
got hold of a vial containing strychnine
instead of the medicine he was won't 10
take. q
Frisbee was about 45 years old, mar
ried and had five children. A married
daughter is living at Sioux city and a
son in Sioux county. The others are at
tending school here. He was the son of
NJ. j. SFrisbee, former county auditor
fere. He left this county some years
ago and went to Kansas. where he lost
about all he had, owing to crop failures
He then went to Florida and came back
to this place about yearfago. Most of
the time he has been in the employ of
State Senator Wallace, looking after the
latter's large stock interests and farms
IN this section of the state. MIR. FRS
bee was well and favorably known and
there are few who believe he would take
his own life. 1t is probable an inquest
will be held.
