Morgan Tucker was the son of s. R..
Tucker, who lives about five miles out
on the Augusta road, He had been de-
spondent for some time and had acted
in a peculiar manner. He had been
considerable trouble to his parents and
recently he had gone to New Orleans
to work as a news agent on railroad
running out of that city. The run
failed to pay expenses and he returned
home and had been drinking consider
ably since.
Had Brother Arrested.
Monday afternoon he swore out a
warrant or caused one to be sworn out
against his brother, Fred J. Tucker,
charging him with the theft of four
shirts and six ties that belonged to
him. Fred Tucker was arrested on
this charge, but as Morgan Tucker
failed to appear in the police court
against him, the case against Fred
Tucker was dismissed. Morgan Tuck
er afterwards appeared in court and
seemed to think they should have
waited for his arrival. It is thought

man.
The interment was made at 3 o'clock

TOOK HIS
own LIFE.
Morgan Tucker Effort to Suicide
Was Successful; Every Effort
Made to Save Him.
SWALLOWED MORPHINE
In LARGE QUANTITIES
d
seyeved That He Took at Least sixty
erafns-was Out Of Work and Had
Grown Despondent-tiad Been pissi-
patins Some.

Morgan Tucker, young white man
who took morphine with suicidal in
tent, died at the county jail at 6:4S last
evening.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
the young man was carried to the po-
lice station and he was placed on cot
in the city Jail where every possible
effort was made TO save his life, but
without avail.
1t appears that the young man de-
liberately planned self-murder and car
ried out his plans with determine
tion born of desperation and frenzy
Took Sixty Grains.
1t is stated that Tucker boarded at
the home of Mr.. w. L. Dewitt, 300
Upton street and yesterday morning
he shaved, took bath and put on
clsS1upnderwear. 1t is known that he
~WaNZf3 liking some, but it is believed
that when he shaved and bathed, he
had ssff-destruction in mind. He was
seen to dissolve number of tablet
in water and swallow the draught.
When asked what he was taking he
said, Headache medicine" He
claimed that he was suffering from a
violent headache. A little later; he
said he had not taken enough of the
medicine; that he had received no re-
lief and he wanted to take some more,
which he did, dissolving them in water
as at first.
Later, he asked one of the young
men .at the house to get him some
water and when the glass was brought
to him, he suddenly threw a whole lot
of the tablets into his month, swallow
ing them before he could be prevented
from doing so He appeared soon to
get drowsy and the family telephoned
for DIR. Cook. The doctor told them
he would come at once and In the mean
time, to give Tucker dose of mustard.
Tho man positively refused to take
1t and he finally got his pistol and sat
down on a chair with pistol in one
hand and big knife in the other. He
was disarmed before the doctor got
there, but still refused to take any
medicine when the doctor came and it
was decided that it would be best to
send him to the police station in the
hope that an antidote might be forced
down his throat. He had large bot
tile of morphine tablets. about 1000 in
all and 1t is estimated that he took
between 200 and 3Oo-or at least fully
sixty grains.

In the yard of the Baughman
house, a local hotel at York, Pa,
where ardent Democrats have
tackled up pictures of their
choice for president on almost
every side, a hen has laid an egg
of peculiar shape, bearing a re-
markable resemblance to a me-
dallion stamped with the face Of
William Jennings Bryan.
The egg is is of ordinary size
and only one side is thus con-
formed Around the oval which
bears the striking resemblance
to the nominee is something
which appears to be lettering,
and which Proprietor Baughman
and some others who have ex-
amined the curiosity declare
spells wv. 1. Bryan" The freak
egg, which is looked upon as a
good omen, may be sent to Mr..
