Casco, Sept. 4.-Fernald M. Eldridge,

suicide Saturday afternoon at the old
Whitney place, Quaker Ridge, the
home Of his father in law, was deter
mined that the attempt to end his life
should not fail, for he took poison.

head with a rifle. Had the rifle shot
not finished him, he would probably
have used a shot gun, with which he
had provided himself in addition to
the other means Of shutting off this
mortal coil. Pinned to his shirt was
note to his wife, who is in Massachu-
sets with their little child, together
With the womans picture. The body
vas discovered by Dana Watkins, first
selectman.
Deed in Deserted Home
Eldridge came here from Hallowel!
Saturday afternoon. He secured lad
Ger and broke open a skylight, letting
himself into the deserted home of his
wife. 1t was in the upper room of this
house that Eldridge worked out the
suicide theory and committed the
deed.
1t is thought that at first he decided
to take both sulphuric acid with paris
green, as a book was found open on
the table telling of poisons and giving
their antidotes. 1t is believed that he
took the acid, but it nauseated him as
evidences of this were found on the
grass outside.
With a note pinned to his shirt and
his wife's picture also fastened there,
Eldridge walked into the road and ac-
costed Warren Turner with the an
nouncement that he had taken poison
and wanted DR.. Dingley right away
Mr.. Turner notified the physician, but
DR.. Dingley did not respond. Mr.. Tur-
ner also notified First Selectman Dana
Watkins, who lives about two miles
below Quaker Ridge, and he arrived
an hour and q half afterwards.

downstairs which indicated that the
young man had evidently tried to kill
himself by this method first.
An examination of the body by DR..
George l. Geer, medical examiner of
Portland, showed Eldridge had cut his
throat from ear to ear, inflicting a cash
six inches long. but he had not severed
the arteries. although he had bled pro-
fusely from the wound. Both wrists
had also been cut in two places but as
in the case of the throat, no arteries
had been severed. A big hole in the
right Of the temple with the skin around
it badly burned, showed where the sui
eide had placed the high-powered rifle
against his head and pulled the trigger
This had evidently completed the job
which he started in to do, and 1t was
unnecessary to resort to the shotgun
which was also alongside the body.

Swanville Farmer Stung by Bees
Nearly Loses Life; Will
Recover
DELIGHTFUL AFTERNOON
TEA SOCIAL SUCCESS

E. A. Wilson was called to Swan
vile today to attend to a farmer
named Toothacker, who was nearly
stung to death by bees. Mr.. Tooth
acker has had bees all his life and
never before have they turned on him.
In fact they had always been so we'll
behaved in the past that on this oc-
casion when they began to swan he
did not protect his head, face and
hands, but went to work to hive them
in two hives. His screams as the bees
attacked him brought help but not
before the insects had gotten in their
work and he had tainted from the
pain of hundreds of stings. The bees
were beaten off, however, and he was
removed to the house, suffering the
most excruciating pain. His head, face
and hands were one mass Of wounds
and terribly swollen. At first it was
feared that he would die of the wounds
but the arrival of the physician in
time prevented this and although he
is still suffering it is thought he will
recover.

The Enterprise Creamery Co. has
discontinued operating it's milk and
cream wagon. The reason for the ac-
ton is a matter Of speculation. Ru-
mors were prevalent Sunday that the
company has failed but others repor.
that the cause of the withdrawal Of
the wagon from delivery service is
owing to the fact that the company
has refused to accept milk and cream
from the farmers until after the rail-
road strike danger is over.

the head and had buried itself in the
wall beyond. It had ripped out portions
Of the skull, lacerated the mouth and
nose and generally badly disfigured the
head of the victim.
DR.. Geer found evidences Of the sui
phuric acid and paris green, together
with the razor and shotgun and rife.
These told the story of the grim trag-
edy, but how long the suicide had waited
before he started in to end his life is
problematical.
Wrote Many Notes
Before attempting his life Eldridge had
written some IL or Is notes and scattered
them about the house. The most impor-
tant was the one which read Il am in
nocent of the crime of burning my faith
er's house at Hallowell." Notes of en-
dearment to his wife, who with her three
months-old baby had left him sometime
ago and gone to a Massachusetts, city,
were found about the house. Another
note told the finder of the body to notify
Wilfred Perkins of Oxford, who it is
thought married a sister of Eldridge's
wife, and DR.. Geer did this.
Most of the notes to his wife told how
he could no longer live without her, how
he had struggled against a seeming over
towering fate and had rather die than
longer exist with her absent. Love was
expressed for his baby.
1t appeared that Eldridge went DELHI
erately about the suicide, had written all
Of the notes, pinned the note meant espe-
cially for his wife and her picture onto

which methed he could most quickly rid
the world Of his presence.
Success did not come until he put the
heavy calibre rifle to his forehead and
pulled the trigger.
EIdridge wore only his shirt and
pants when found. No one remember
ed seeing him go to the Whitney place
and that he planned his deed carefully
and then went ahead is shown by the
evidences left behind.
The HaIIowelI Tragedy
Some three or four years ago the
home Of Eldridge's father and mother
| was burned to the ground and both Of
| the parents lost their lives in the fire.
! Suspicion was at first attached to FL
| bridge in this tragedy and he was held
for a time by the authorities. but fl
| nally let go for lack of sufficient evil
dence. In one of the notes he left he
| declared he was innocent of any con-
nection with the Hallowell fire and it
| is believed in one of the sealed notes
| left to his wife that he went more into
detail concerning the death of his pa
rents.
Had Lived in Portland
Eldridge had been rooming in Port
lanl at 90 Oxford street for some time,
| Why his wife left him, taking her ba-
by with her to Boston, where it is
thought she is living with her sister,
is unknown. She could not be located
