scribes the Manner of His
Suicide,

NELSON, B. c., Oct. 6.-The body of G.
f Andrews, a prospector, 72 years of age,
was found in the south end of the city
with the head blown off above the chin.
He had been in hard luck of late, and in
a pitiful letter to Mayor Fletcher he de-
scribed his poverty and asked for inter-
ment in the potter's field in rough box
or sack. as he was too poor to buy either
a box or a coffin. He also described his
mode Of suicide to avert the necessity of
an inquest. stating he would use three
sticks of giant powder placed on the top
of his head. with a couple of fiat stones
on top of the same.
Andrews came from New Brunswick to
Nelson eleven years ago. Some years ago
he staked and developed the Goodenough
claim, on Morning Mountain. This claim
he bequeathed, together with 81, the only
money he had, to Mrs. Stewart, with
whom he boarded for the last two years.
A subscription was Immediately taken up
to give Andrews a decent interment.
