designs by the arrival of friends
who summoned physician.
The second time he took an over
dose of morphine and was forced
to throw it up before, it had any
effect upon him.
He said that he had been
troubled with the spells since his
wife died six years ago in Mon

store and did an excellent busi-
ness, and where he was a politit-
cal friend of w. A. Clark, at one
time running for the state
senate. al
He had on his persona certi6
cate showing that, he is a regist
cred pharmacist in the state of
North Dakota. At the time he
was committed to the asylum he
was representative of the Lake
City Nursery company OF Lake
