William E. Wheeler, Farmer
in Grove, Takes Poison
i'm His Home
WIFE STRUCK CUP
FROM HIS HAND
Produced Another Dose Which He
Swallowed in Spite of Her Efforts
Cause for Act Unknown - Was
About to Start for Greenfield.

After his wife had knocked from his
hand cup containing strychnine Will
ham i. Wheeler Of Grove, a we'll
known farmer and prominent citizen
OF that place, mixed another potion of
the poison with water in his home this
morning and in spite of his wife's eff
forts succeeded in drinking it, with ia
tai results. Mr.. Wheeler was so years
old
Mr.. Wheeler loaded a wagon with
potatoes last night intending to go to
Greenfield, Mass, with them this morn
ing. About clock he went into the
house from the barn and began mix
ing something with water in a cup.
His wife asked him what he was do
ing and he told her correctly. Much
alarmed, Mrs. Wheeler struck the cup
from his hand, and it was smashed on
the floor. Mr.. Wheeler had a further
quantity of the poison, which he took
from his pocket and swallowed, al
though Mrs. Wheeler made a desperate
attempt to prevent him from doing so.
DR.. a. j. Thomas of Jacksonville
was sent for by telephone, but before
he arrived Mr.. Wheeler was dead.
Where the poison was obtained is not
known.
| What prompted Mr.. Wheeler to take
| the fatal dose is not known. For some
| time, however, he had had attacks of
nervousness, and it is thought that
his mind may have been affected. He
| leaves wife, who was Marion Ward
of Guilford, daughter of the late Frank
/ Ward, and 11-ch;laren, eight of whom
! live at home.
| He was a native of Grove and al
ways lived there except for a few
years when he lived in Guilford. He
went from Guilford back to Grove
some 20 years ago.
| Last fall his barn was burned after
all the crops had been harvested and
the silo filled, but the stock was saved.
| Shortly afterwards he traded his farm
for the Elliot Green place in Grove,
where he had lived since. He was a
man of industry and thrift and had
/ served the town in various capacities,
including those of selectman and school
! director.
The funeral will be held at the house
at 1.30 clock Sunday, Rev w. R.
Tinker of the Halifax Baptist church
officiating The burial will take place

WILMINGTON MAN
DROPS FROM SIGHT
Hoosac Tunnel s. Wilmington Railroad
Station Agent S Books Said to
BE in Bad Shape.

b. A. Cook, for the past three or
four years station agent Tor the Hoosac
Tunnel q Wilmington railroad in Will
mington, left that town suddenly Sun
day with his wife and two children.
stored his automobile III a garage in
Boston, mailed the garage cheek to
Foster & Grout and dropped out of
sight His present whereabouts are
unknown.
1t was stated at the railroad office
yesterday that the missing man had
given no word OF his intention to
leave when he locked up the office
Saturday night and that his accounts
were in bad shape. There is supposed
it cannot be learned until the books
have been gone over. The missing man
cleared up some of his personal debts
before leaving, but it is understood
that he owed more or less money to
different individuals.
Cook evidently made his plans for
leaving in a hurry. Sunday he locked
up the house in which he had been liv.
ing, took his machine and family and
left for Boston. There he stored the
car in garage on Massachusetts av-
enue and mailed the check. He an.
nounced to at least one person Sun
day that he was leaving town for good
but did not state where he intended tc
20 after leaving Boston He left or
ders for the disposition of the furni
ture III his home before leaving.

screen was not fully paid for and re
mains the property of the makers anC
the automobile he had been driving al
so was owned on a conditional bill ot
sale and remains the property of Eos
ter & Grout. The machine was located
in the garage in Boston. where it had
been left, by Amasa Grout and will bc
brought to Wilmington today.
Among the theories advanced by
those best acquainted with the missing
man to account for his actions is thai
Of temporary loss of mental balance
1t is said that he had been drinking
more or less for some time and it /.
presumed that a temporary fit of men
tai unbalance left him in a position
from which he could see instant flight
as the only way out.
The railroad company is protected
from less by Cook s bond, fled Will
a bonding concern, but the extent Of
his defalcations if any. will not b,
known for several days.
