SUICIDE BY REENENT
Another Pair OF Men In HObOken Agree
10 Die and One at Least Is Near Death.

Paul Brock, 20 years old OF ITO Willow
avenue, Hoboken, was taken to St Mays
Hospital in that city in a dying condition
about o'clock yesterday afternoon He
had tried TO kill himself with rat poison,
and the police thought it was n plain case
of suicide until they went to take his ante
mortem statement.
Brock said he had entered into com
pact with George Boyer to kill himself.
Boyer is stpvedore 5n the Fall River Line,
and lives at 400 West street Manhattan.
Brock worked as piaso player in cafe
at 1853 First street, and it was at this place
that the men decided to end their lives.
They met there by appointment at Ao'cIock.
Boyer got the rat poison in a drug store,
returned with it and called for two glasses
of mineral water. The poison was divided
on the bar, each man taking half and putting
it into his glass They then clnked glasses
and drained them.
Brock staggered out Of the saloon, went
TO the drug store where tho poison had
been bought and sat in chair. A few mo-
ments later he fell unconscious TO the
floor.
Boyer left the saloon a few moments
after Brock. The police tried to find him
in Hoboken when they got Brooks state
ment. but were not successful. They
believe he came to this city.
1t was said at the hospital late last night
that Brock would probably die before
morn ng.

That Many Lives We're Lost.

TUCSON Ariz., July pa tornado
visited Tombstone and Fairbank last night,
and although reports are meager il is
thought that many who were caught in
the path Of the storm must have persisted.
The wires are all down and the first reports
Of the storm reached here tonight when
linemen succeeded in stringing wire to
Benson.
The storm broke about 8 o'clock last
evening, A terrific gale, accompanied with
cloudburst, swept everything before
it, tearing up great cottonwood trees in
the valley and unroofing houses,
Then came water roaring down the can
yons When the storm finally subsidized
the town of Fairbank was under six feet Of
water in many places. The inhabitants
had fled to the hllsides for safety.
At Tombst one the water came down in
sheets and in mlny places the inhabitants
were compelled to fee to higher ground.
In the valley below and above Fairbank
ranch houses were washed away and as
the ranchers have not been heard from
it is thought that they and their families
must have been drowned. The water
came roaring down the valley like great
tidal wave without warning.
