Word has been received here of tht
death of John LAWN at Sandon, B. C.
last Friday. 1t seems that LAWN ha'
purchased a small bottle of castor oi
at drug store and left it behind tn
bar at the hotel until he was ready t.
use it. After lunch on that day, abou
one o'clock, he took what was suppos
ed to be the bottle containing the oil
poured large dose into a glass o
beer and drank it down. He was al
most Immediately seized with violen
pains, and, glancing at the bottle, dis
covered that he had taken carbolic aci
by mistake. A doctor was immediate
ly summoned aud did everything i
his power but the man was beyon
recovery. He died in a few hour:
LAWN, if we are not mistaken, lived a
Bayhorse at one time, and was EN-
ployed in the capacity of blacksmith
for the Ramshorn company. He wa
a native of Ireland.

misused, down-trodden, belittled, etc

, character should be respected an
elevated high in the social world.
