by another.
The Frisco Is Missouri road. and
therefore is governed by Missouri law

STRANGER SUICIDES.
Unknown Man Drinks Ten Cents Worth of Carbolie Acid Soon After Reaching Town.

 A stranger who drifted. into the city
 Thursday morning and promptly com mitted suicide by taking ten cents
 worth of earbolic acid. purchased at
 Dressers drug store upon his arrival here, has supplied the city officials
 with another mystery to unraveL Up to Thursday night the mans identity
 had not been established, nor his mo-
 tives for taking his life.
 No one here knows the dead mans
 name, nor what combination of cir
 cumstances led him to take his life,
 but there are certain little details that
 indicate he had carefully planned to do
 away with himself and prevent. for a
 time. at least, the establishing of his identity and the conveying >of- know
 ledge of his act to his relatives or friends.
 The mans name may be DonnelIey, Donovan, or any one of the various family names that begin with Don" but just which one is not certainA With his voice thickening from the effects of the acid he had taken, the man at
 tempted to tell his name, but the ear of the one who asked .the question could not make out distinctly just what the ansewer was, nor whether the man said he was from North or South l Scituate, R. L. but it was one of these. l It was just before g o'clock Thurs day morning when Attorney Howard l c. Bradford, ascending the stairs lead l ing to the second floor of the Central I block, to take up his business in the l office of Searls & Russell, found man l peering into the offices through a key I hole in the door.
 Thinking the man was a client, At l torney Bradford inquired. what he
 could do for him. -.'Nothing. nothing 9 l the man replied. MT. Bradford imme- 1 diately took notice of the fact that the
 fellow acted queerly. as if he were dazed in some degree, but paid no par l ticular attention to him Within few minutes Robert Chadwick, who is em- 1 ployed by one of the concerns dolng 1 doing business on that floor of the Gen. tral block, came to MT. Bradford and I told him the man had been lettering l about the hall for a considerable l length of time. The mans presence 1 and queer actions came, after a time I to be something of a joke to, them, So l they paid little further attention to 1 him.
 The man afterwards left the build 1 ing and went out into Elm street, but l returned after time and declared after roaming about trying various doors that there was someone in the
 building he wanted to see-he was sure l of that-but could tell no more At l torney Bradford asked him his name I and the man replied something that | sounded like Donnelley and said he
 came from North or South Scituate At this time the man must have
 taken the acid for few minutes later employees in a tailoring establishment l on the floor saw him reel and fall His condition then caused a coInmo- :, tion and Dr. Edward F.
