Prominent in North Dux-
bury, Died To-day
WAS n, yNDENT
I'm Err ILL HEALTH
Friends and Relatives Had
Been Careful to Keep the
Means of Death Away

| Waterbury, Nov. despite the watch.
fulness of his relatives and friends, who
bad feared such an act, William r. Strick-
land once prominent man of North
Duxbury, shot himself at an early hour
this morning, using shotgun, and in
| ficting wound in the neck which must
have brought death very soon. His body
was found at Oils o'clock by Frank Lew
is, who lives in another tenement in the
same house and who went to call his son,
who had room in the Strickland part of
the house.
Some time ago Mr.. Strickland is said
to have procured poison and at another
time is said to have gained possession of
gun. Since then those with him have
been careful to keep all poison and am
munition out of his way although the
shotgun was not seereted as it was be-
lieved he could not obtain any cartridges.
IL is now thought that he must have had
the single shotgun shell in his possession
for some time.
Strangely enough, no one in the house
was aroused by the sound of the shot,
although Miss Lena Hawkins, Mr.. Strick-
lands niece, who had been caring for
the elderly man, recalls that she heard
some sound but was not sufficiently
awakened to feel the need for investiga-
ton, thinking it was some article about
the house falling from its position.
When the body was found Mr.. Lewis
notified +. W. Huntley, the health off
Ger, who in turn summoned DR.. Bidwell
and DR.. Steele. H. A. Durkee, select
man, also came. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that il was a case of suicide, the
attitude of the man having
been known to them. Miss Hawkins,
who had done everything she could for
her uncle, had intended to return to her
home in Vergennes last Saturday, but
Mr.. Strickland asked her to stay until
to-day. which she consented to do. Mr..
