WOULD INSPECT GREAT BEYOND Woodman Mellow With The Corn Suddenly Decides to Take the Trip. ATTEMPTS PURCHASE OF .. STRICHNINE AT BARKER'S. Told the Clerk He Had Heard Much of the Hereafter and Wanted to See it. Red liquor is the acknowleded inspiration for many freak ideas, but one of the strangest of them ~ all was developed this morning at Barker’s drug store when a stalwart woodsman, with a well developed jag tried to purchase some strichnine for the purpose -of suiciding, because; he said; he wished to see the great beyond. The man came into the store __ about 7:30 this morning and told the drug clerk he wanted to buy strichnine. The man’s manner aroused the suspicion of the saleman and he questioned him as to his object' in buying the poison. “I want to see the great beyond.’’ replied the denizen of the tall and uncut timber. ¢I haye been reading in a book about the great beyond and I think the whole business is a fake. I am going to take the poison and find out for myself.” _ It is prehaps needless to say he was refused the drug. He talked very deliberately of the suicide - which*he contemplated and told the employes of the store that a short time ago at Grand Forks he had taken seven grains of strichnine with the intention of suicide.!. “I would have made it t00,” he centinued with evident regret, “if they had let mealone, but they got the doctor around and he spoiled my plans.” He stated that during the past winter he had been working in Bagley’s lumber camps and also gave out the information that he intended to proye the mysteries _ of the great hereafter to his own gatisfaction very shortly. His case was reported to the police, he was taken to a hotel and at noon today was sleeping off the effects of the liquor that _ made him' curious to learn the mysteries of the future. One of the Finest. James Jerrard, manager of the Journal-Press Co., of St. Cloud, is in the city today the guest of his brother, E. H. Jerrard. Mr. Jarrard has for a number of years been the successful busi- ness manager of the St. Cloud Journal-Press and is one of the most aggressive hustlers in the business anywhere in this sec- tion. -The Journal-Press has grown wonderfully -during-the past few years and to the busi- ness abil ty and wide-awakuess which Mr. Jarrard brings to its management is responsible in no small measure.
