A Victim of Wood Alcohol

| Oscar Kendall who worked in this
village as a painter last summer, was
found dead in bed Saturday morning at
the home of !. X. Parker on Maple street,
where he had boarded since coming here
to work at his trade about a week ago
A pint bottle containing wood alcohol,
which was found beside him, told the
story of his death, only about one-thrd
of the contents remaining in the bottle.
1t was known by several that Mr. Ken
dali was addic ted to drinking a mixture
made of denatured alcohol and milk
having followed this habit for some time
He obtained the wood alcohol at the
A. L. Cheney pharmacy Thursday even
ing, stating that he wished to use it
to cut shellac.
Mr.. Kendall seemed to be in cheerful
spirits Friday, but was feeling indisposed
from the effects of cold and had not
heen at work that day. He was heard
by the family about ~ o'clock Friday
evening but as he did not come to his
breakfast, one or the boarders went to
his room and there he was found with
life extinct.
A bottle, partly filled, which contained
a milky liqlid, was found between the
feather bed and mattress, but the bo tile
from which he had taken the fatal dose
contained the pure wood alcohol and the
A. L. Cheney pharmacy label was on the
bottle. 1t is not thought that he took
the stuff with suicidal intent but that he
drank it not realizing that that it was
ont the same which he had been in the
habit of using and from which no serious
effects had resulted as he had used it with
the antidote, milk.
Mr.. Kendall came here from Hard wick,
where he had been a resident for some
periods OF time during the past few years
He was employed for some time by Dr.
J. M. Stevens of Hyde Park. Mr.. Ken
dali was said to have been an evaugel-
ist during his early life, was man we'll
informed on current affairs and general
matters, and was said to haveshad some
means in his younger days. 1t was at
first supposed he had a sister living but
Investigations seemed OF no avail either
in regard to that or as to his having any
means, although all possible efforts were
made to discover any clue to relatives OF
the untOrtun ate man. The remains were
taken to B ]. Kelley's undertaking rooms
and were inferred in the La
porte cemetery Morday.
