Nelson, the room mate of the
dead man, says that McGinnis
has contemplated ending his life
for some time past, as on Friday
night as they were both lying in
the bed together, McGinnis told
him that he intended to end his
existence, as he wished to get
away from his troubles. This
was verified this morning when
an examination of the man s
valise was made, bottle of
laudanum being found in the bot
tom of it.
Mrs. McGinnis has been noti-
fed of the death of McGinnis,
and two brothers who are now in

as possible and given notice of
the affair. These are the only
known relatives of the dead man.

Alex McGinnis Found Dead
in His Room at the Ire
mont Saturday Night.
TOOK STRYCHNINE ROUTE AND
DEATH CAME QUICKLY.
Domestic Troubles Said to Be
Cause of Decision to End
His Life.

Alex McGinnis, a bartender
employed at the Bank saloon,
was found dead in his room at
the fremont hotel Saturday
night about 1870 o'clock. Upon
the commode by his bedside
stood a bottle of beer, half drank,
and a small vial containing a few
grains of strychnine sulphate,
and from all appearances the
man is a victim of suicide.
He was found by Thomas Mel
son, his room mate, who intend
ed to retire for the night. Mel
son went up stairs and when he
entered the room saw McGinnis
lying upon the bed, face up, with
all his clothes on excepting his
shoes, which were lying by the
bedside. Nelson did not think
for the moment that anything
was wrong, and attempted to
wake the man, but was Mortified
to find that the man was dead.
He Immediately told the proprie-
tor of the house, who telephoned
for City Health Officer Ward and
Deputy Coroner Lair, who ar
rived in a few minutes and made
an examination of the man and
the room, after which the re-
mains were taken to the morgue,
where they will await burial
McGinnis arrived in the city
about three weeks ago, and it is
thought that he came here in
quest Of his wife, from whom he
was divorced six years ago. He
found the woman, Mrs. Della
McGinnis, who was staying with
a family in this city, but after
the first meeting she left for
Duluth, and has been staying in
that city at pa East First street
since the meeting.
He went to work as bartender
at the Bank saloon two weeks
ago yesterday and has been en-
ployed there ever since. On Sat-
urday night he came into the
saloon and secured ST. in money,
and from there went to another
saloon, where he bought a round
Of drinks, afterwards purchasing
a bottle of beer. He left there
at II o'clock, and it is thought
that he went directly to his room
and took the poison, as the body
was warm when found, and it
was evident that he had been

DR.. W. r. Morrison, accom-

ing the doctors absence while.
the latter, accom- anied by Mr.. b.
A. Schneider will leave Chicago
Wednesday for Florida, whence
the trip to New York will be
made by water.
DR.. Morrison will spend six
weeks in New York city taking
post graduate work on the eye,
ear, nose and throat, subjects in
which he has specialized and in
which he secured special de
gree at Chicago last year. It is
probable that he will be gone
about three months. DR.. Fowler
of Blackduck will have charge of
his office and his practice during
Dr. Morrison S absence.
DR.. Morrison's practice along
these special lines has been grow
ing very rapidly and be feels that
it is but due to his clients that he
should put himself in touch with
the best that modern medical
science has to offer. Not only
will he make a speciality of the
diseases of these organs but he
will specialize particularly as to
the eye, and as an occulist, will
be prepared to fit glasses, etc.
One rem arkable feature IN
modern practice is the cure Of
certain diseased organs without
the use Of the knife. A recent
patient Of DR.. Morrison's is a
good example. The patient was
a child Of well known Bemidii
people; she was cross eyed, and
the usual remedy in such cases
is an operation. Under special
treatment however the little ones
