pany, as they were traveling back
from the terminus of their route, near

On their return, however, they stop—

warm, but lifeless, about 12 feet from

They immediately notified Sergeant
Gibson, 0: the local police, who was
hustled to the scene.
Medical Examiner Huntington will
investigate the case this afternoon.
Sergeant‘Glbson investigated the
Surroundings and searched the man’s
pockets and found in the pocket of
afrell tailored and apparently new
overcoat a fourounce bottle of paral-
dehyde, with 2-3 of the contents gone.
In the pockets of his grey clothes,
which gave him the appearance of one
well-to-do, was found an open-face
gold watch, a pair of glasses, and a
gold chain and fob, with a magnifi-
cent Elk’s tooth From the charm one
would believe him to be a member of

The man undoubtedly committed
suicide his race showed that he had
been eflected with trouble for some

was wasted away, as if he had been
'sick for some time. '
A pair of thick glasses. which rest-
