suicide as his overcoat and
under coat with his soft black hat
have been found lying on the bank of
the river at Essex Junction. Suicide
by drowning Is thought to be the solu-
ton Of the case. Mr. Narcotic had
been In poor health and It is thought
his condition was brought on by over
work. which temporarily deranged his
mind. At church Sunday he remarked
to another man that he was going to
Essex Junction to get some seed pota-
toes and was to take the noon electric
car This was the last seen Of him.
Not returning home the family was
alarmed. Search revealed nothing. but
Yesterday Chief Barber. with Joseph
Narcotic, son, and his wife went to
Essex junction to search. Mr.. Mar
cotte's coats were found on the south
bank OF the river Just east of the old
covered bridge. A search along the
river In the neighborhood did not re-
veal his body. In the pockets of the
coats were found the mans prayer
hook and beads and his pocketbook
containing 81 cents. The watch was
stopped at seven o'clock. Since the
rains of last week the water in the
river became quite high and there is
swift current at the point in the
river where his coats were found. 1t
10 thought that his body was rushed
down the river in the high water Of
Sunday. A reward of $50 is offered
by the family for the recovery of the
body. Mr.. Narcotic was about 65
years old and besides his wife leaves
about i've sons and four daughters.

zation Of q war relief association at a

ORDERS PROPERTY OF
G.. AND 6. |. ON SALE

CHICAGO, May 23. A decree
which may soon end the four re-
ceiverships of the Chicago and East
ern Illinois Railroad Co and its sub
salaries was entered Tuesday 10y
Judge George A. Carpenter in the
United States court. 1t directed that
the properties be placed on sale July
II in Danville, Ill.
Judge Carpenter declared an early
sale OF the property essential be-
cause of the United States participa-
ton in the European war and the
resultant uncertainty of financial
conditions.
The judge set forth that the road
is insolvent, unable to meet indebt-
edness and therefore the properties
must be sold as quickly as possible,
the net proceeds to be distributed
among creditors holding proper
liens.
Interest remaining unpaid, accord
ing to the decree, amounts to 49,
100000.
