APPLETON.
Two attempts to commit suicide have
been made the past week by young men in
this place. Paris green was used in each
case. Herbert Edgecomb was the first to
take the poison. DR.. BENZ. Keller was call
ed, the proper remedy used, and Herbert is
1ivin ho hot Of
Arthur Robinson, who has been stopping
few days at Fred Davidson's. Friday night
he retired at the usual hour, but about ten
O'Clock arose and left the house and return
ed at about two Saturday morning. About
midnight his buildings, house and barn,
situated on the road to West Appleton and
about two miles from this place, were found
to be on fire. A few of the household arti-
Giles were saved, but the house and barn
were a total loss. Robinson's wife was the
owner of the farm and the couple have lived
on the place until Mrs. Robinson was taken
to the Maine General Hospital in Portland
for treatment about six weeks ago. She is
now at Mr.. Davidson's and says she will
not live with Robinson again. Early Satur-
day morning Mr. Davidson ascertained that
Robinson had taken Paris green and sum-
moned DR.. Keller, who administered an
emetic, but the poison had produced vomit-
ing and thus relieved the stomach of much of
its contents, and the young man is not much
the worse for his experience. When ques-
toned with regard to his absence from the
house during the night Robinson said he
had been to have tooth extracted by DR..
Keller. DR.. Keller says he did not see him
until called to visit him in the morning.
Robinson is % years of age and besides a
wife, has three children. Sunday morning
his brother took him to his home in West
Appleton. :. AlOnzo J. Hawkes. and wife, |
