FOLSOM FOUND BESIDE THE BODY

Carbolic Acid Bottle Found with
Corpse of j. G. Norman.
At an early hour Monday morning tie
body of J. G. Norman, a freight handler
at the Union Pacific transfer in Council
Bluffs. was found in an outbuiiding at his
home 1125 Third avenue, by his 7-year-old
daughter An empty cHrbolic ucid bottle
found with. the body indicated the manner
of his death.
Norman left home Sunday afternoon at
4 o'clock. telling his wife that he might go
to Silver City. Ia, to settle some business
matters When he failed to return at
dark she supposed he had gone. About
o'clock Monday morning she was awakened
by a noise in the yard. but upon investiga-
ton could learn no cause for II and re-
turned to the house.
Norman was about % years old and
leaves a wife and two children.
The bottle which had contained the acid
bore the label of the Willard hotel pharm-
acy in Omaha. No cause has so far been
assigned for the death.

walking around for a time left them
shortly before O'Clock, stating ne was
going home. Abramson returned TO the
house about 10 o'clock and was surprised

band had not returned home. Shortly

tho children.
Norman had worked at the transfer until
noon Sunday, when he came home for
dinner evidently in the best of spirits
Norman is said by those who knew him
to have been a man of exemplary habits.

tive to induce him to take his life in the
manner he did He is said to have been
in comfortable circumstances and greatly
devoted to his wife and two children, a
| girl OF and a boy of years. Norman
| had resided In this city but few months,
having come here from Glenwood. where

where Mrs. Norman's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Byers, live. His parents
