BY TAKING POISON

Lewis, aged about so years, took pot

ment Of Webb & Clough where his life
less body was found at | :25 last night.
Lewis left a note addressed to his
daughter, Mrs. NJ. II Forbes, Rural
Route No. 2, Kirkland, King county,
Washington, in which he stated that
his personal belonging were at the De-
pot hotel where he owed week s
board bill and if she wanted them, to
pay the bill, and if not to leave them
to the owner Of the hotel. He gave no
reason for his act, but it is thought
that he was respondent at his lack Of
money.
On the reverse side of the note was
written the information that he was a
life member Of Marshfield Aerie No.
53S, Fraternal Order of the Eagles, at
Coos Bay. The body was found by

through the rear of the building. Lewis
body was found in a small shed at the

esting on his hand grip. A strong
od0r Of the poison was prevalent about
he body and there was no doubt as to
the means Of suicide although the bot
tie containing the drug was not found.
1t is thought that he located the un-
dertakers, took the poison and threw
the bottle away as he knew that death
would soon follow.
Mrs. Forbes, the daughter Of the sui
eide, was Informed of the death of her
father, but this morning no word had
