was called by the death of his brother
Robert Patterson. The deceased was a
former resident of North Platte, having
served his apprenticeship as a machin
ist and remained for some time after
completing hi3 time. Ho went to
Colorado in 1877 and had since made
that state his homo. He patented a
batterv drill for minintr. and at the
time of his death was superintendent oi

Former North Platte Boy Suicides.
A Salida, Col., special to the Denver
Post of March 8th, contains an account
of the suicide of Warren Davis, a son
of Milledgo Davis, a former North
Platte resident, but who has lived in
Colorado since early boyhood. The
young man, who was twenty-eight
years of age, was employed as registry
clerk in the salida postofFice, and was
charged with taking a registered pack
age containing $5,000, which was en
routo from Pueblo to Ouray and which
passed through the Salida office.
While the finger of guilt pointed
strongly toward him, ho protested his
innocence, and following his death
seven letters were found addressed to
friends in which ho declared ho was not
miiltv of the charce.
Death ensued from a bullet which he
sent through his brain, holding the
muzzle of the revolver in his mouth.
Miss Hazel Dcane, with whom the
dead man had been intimate for several
years, upon learning of the suicide, at
tempted to tako her own life. She
entered a saloon, called for a drink of
whisky to steady her norves, then
nulled a gun and attempted to shoot
herself, but the gun was wrested from
her by a bystander.

It only costs one-fourth as much to feed
Dr. Hess Stock Tonic as it does
to grind your grain.
Did you get our letter about this?
Here is the proposition which Dr. Hess & Clark
authorize us to make:
"We want every one of your customers to
feed Dr. Hess Stock Tonic this season on
a three months test, at our expense. IE it
doesn't pay, ask them to. return their
empty packages, refund their money, and
we will pay you."
When they wrote that they meant it. We want you to know
that this store and our reputation is right back of that guarantee.
A 2S lb. Pail at $1.60.
You cannot afford to buy of peddlers. They have to charge
nearly double to keep up expense of man, team, etc. Besides we
are right on the ground to make good our guarantee.
And don't forget to feed Poultry Pan-a-ce-a
to keep poultry healthy and make hens lay, and overcome the
debilitating influences of moulting. Remember, Poultry Pan-a-ce-a
