wealthy resident of Grafton, N. D.,
committed suicide in the Murray &
Lukkason saloon in East Grand Forks,
Johnson ended his life by drinking
four ounces of carbolic acid.
Johnson had been in East Grand
Forks since Saturday and during that
time he drank heavily. He evidently
contemplated ending his life, for Mon
day night Captain Quigley of the local
police took a f~our-ounce bottle Of car
bolic acid from him. He purchased
another one, however, and, while alone
in n of the front rooms Of the sa-
loon, drank every drop Of it. g.
Orders Beer; Secrets Self.
Johnson entered the Murray &
Lukkason saloon shortly after IL
o'clock. He ordered q. bottle Of beer
INC went into a front room to drink.
The bottle was delivered, after which
the doors were shut and Johnson was
left alone. .
Nothing more was heard from him
until about 1880 o'clock, when the
bartender heard him grooming. The
bartender. FASTENED into the room and
found Johnson in, the t1roes OF death.
The maj was sitting in a. chair, and
the bartender did not. realize what
was wrong. He shook johnson, think
ing that he would rouse. him. Instead,
Johnson fell to the floor. THE bar

serious was wrong, summoned as
stStance. "
Acid Bottle Drained.

alton, he found the empty :.carbolic
acid bottle. On the table near the
mar was a bottle; half filled with
beer. A physician was Immediately
summoned and TIVE minutes after he
arrived Johnson was dead. 1t was

lived after drinking the carbolic acid.
T. Coroner Nelson was notified and he
ordered the body removed to under
taking parlors.

The mans clothes were searched,
but there was nothing to indicate why
he should end his life. 1t is believed

TRIED SUICIDE

strom a well to do farmer living
southeast of Sawyer about seven miles
attempted suicide by shooting himself

placed in the care Of DR.. Johns Of this
place. He was today placed, under
ianasthetics and operated upon by re-
moval of the frontal bone and tre-
PANIED. What the outcome will be is
problematical. The cause of this at

.sumed to be tire brooding over the in
sane condition. of his brother who
about a year, ago was placed in the
asylum at Jamestown, with little or

BREAKS PAROLE,
Minot Man in Missouri Willing to
Come Back to North Dakota,

Minot, y. D., March 19.-Chief of
Police Ed Robinson received A wire
from Chief Ctllesspy of St. Louis, Mo-,
stating that Raymond Nail, of Minot,
had surrendered at that place, having
broken his parole, and that he would
return without cXtradition papers.
Nail was sentenced to. Bismarck
about two years e on a. charge said
to involve him with several young
girls.
Upon getting into communication
with the parole officers at Bismarck
yesterday it was found that youns
Nail had but seven days more to serve
ON his ~iarOle, and that he had quite a
little money due him at the peniten-
tiary. 1t is not known whether action
viii be taken TO return him to North
Dakota or not. The concensus of
opinion seems to he that he has paid
the penalty for his indiscretion and
therefore he may not be brought back.
