Two Suicides at Fairlee.
The discovery of clothes identified as
those of Miss Grace Cook, aged 20 years,
= a small barn near Fairlee lake, last
week, led to the belief that the young
woman had committed suicide and the
lake was dragged and her body found
about two rods from shore. Physicians
Mo viewed the body said the drowning
occurred June 27, and that death was
tbe result of suicide. The father of the
qrl had supposed that his daughter was
IN another town visiting when he heard
Of the finding OF the clothes. Miss Cook
4 had had, it is understood, much trouble
over love affair, and this is suggested
as reason for suicide.
Fred Brown, of Fairlee, a married man
Of 50 years, formerly teamster, also
committed suicide last week. Death was
caused by poisoning, but no motive is
known for the deed.
