having tried to destroy himself with
a dose of bichloride of mercury. He

he was to have been married the day
before he started drinking, was untrue
to him In Omaha the night before
the date set for the wedding he saw
his prospective bride emerging from
a questionable resport with another
man and the shock was more than he
could stand. He was picked up in

had taken the poison. He was re-
moved to the hospital and his life will
probably be saved. At present he is
suffering with delirum tremens. His
story came out during his rational
