Found Dead In The Woods

Dr. J . V. Winans, coroner ot Lake county, Ohio, has justwritten druggist H. J. Brown concerning the finding of the body of an unknown man in the woods two and a half miles north-east of Painesville. The man had evidently recently been in Ann Arbor, as within a few feet of his head were two bottles which had contained chloroform, one f rom the pharmacy of H. J. Brown and the other from that of A. E. Mummery. Neither of the druggists is able to identify the suicide, and the description is here given in hopes that the mystery may be cleared up. The features of the unknown man were obliterated by decomposition. He was or medium neignt, ana wore a sack coat of gray color, black ribbed pants, good shoes, a white shirt, stand-up collar, and straw hat with black band and cord. He had a silk umbrella, a telescope sample case of drab canvas, a railroad guide, a copy of the Chicago ínter Ocean of June 6, a box of blacking, brush, comb, and round mirror. The coroner says he had improvised an ingenious inhaler consisting of a pint Masón fruit can, into an opening in the cover of which was fitted four feet of rubber tubing, the other end being fitted to a coffee pot with a sponge in the bottom and the spout so located as to cover the nose whea in use, and a black rubber band to hold the article upon the head when in use. This was evidently a failure, as he had taken his life with a thirty-two caliber American buüdog revolver.
