The Most Remarkable Suicide.

The most curious suicide In the an
nails Of self destruction occurred at
ChiQuetc, \. B., in the spring Of 1890.
Before committing the deed the self
murderer, who was named W. r Z.
Jones, dug his own grave and placed
rough coffin Of his own handtwork at
the bottom. The dirt from the opening
was kept from rolling back into the
excavation by boards held in place by
q trigger to which a string was at
tached. Everything IN readiness, the
deliberate Mr. Jones, as subsequent
developments revealed, got in the cof-
hn, took g dose Of poison and then
pulled the string, burying himself be-
meath tons Of earth. This has been
put down US one Of the most unique
ana successful cases Of self destruction
