for the past month. His brother-in-
law, Frank Schempp, also noticed
something wrong with him about

the barn. He found him handling the
harness in a suspicious manner and
asked him to go in swimming with
him, and be went along, and on the
way back to the house, after bathing
in the river, he remarked: "Well,
Frank, if you had not come out to the
barn when you did I would not have
lasted very much longer"
This morning ae ate with his broth

Mr.. Schempp left to 60 to work at
Dan Cowell's, and was about eighty
rods from the house when he heard a
shot, and shortly afterwards heard
Mrs. Hunter scream. He hurried back
to the house and met Mrs. Hunter,
who told him that George had killed
himself. Tyrell had taken the shot
gun out, remarking that 'sthe black
dog is out there again, and I will shoot
it, He had only a shirt, hat ard
! pants on when he went out. AS he
went out he had to pass through his

POISONING THE SYSTEM.

It is through the bowels that the
