M. 1a Flow received a tel egram lest Tuesday afternoon stating that Mr. Lemuel Moore, hie eon-in-law, had died in East St. Louis Monday night. The boby arrived here Inst night, ac companied by Mr. W. L. Moore, brother of the deceased, who lives la 8L Louis. Mr. Moore was book-keeper and confidential clerk for the Chan- Harrington Mnle Co., at the National Stockyards, and hod been in East St. Louie about a month. Hie wife expected to move to St. Louis soon. The particulars of Mr. Uooro'sdeath, as given by bis brother who was with him, is that on Monday morning Mr. W. L. Moors, who is book-keeper for a stock com pony at the National Stock yards, finding that hie brother had not reported at the office, went to his brother’s r6om and found him sick, bat not enough to require the eenrkses of a physi cian. Mr. ViT. L. Moore returned to his brother’s room about six o'clock in ths afternoon and found him in an unconscious condition. Physician* were hastily called ami they did every thing possible to save life, but to no avail. The physicians stated that Mr. Moore was poisoned with tnorohine. A# to now or by whom the drug was administered is a my stery. An examination showed that the dead man’s watch had been snatched from his person, the chain which was fastened to the vest by a ring being broken uud the ring rein tuning. All his money and other valuables bad been tuken. A thorough search of the room and clothing was inode to find a vessel which hod contained morphine or other opiate, bat all to uo purpose. Lnqiry wee made at neighbor ing drug stores concerning the purchase of opiates by the de ceased, but he had uot made any purchase of drugs from any of them. The HL Louis Post-bW patcfi says ths case looks like murder. Mr. Moore was a son of Mr. D. F. Moore, of Plains, 8. C. He woe 80 years old, and was an open-hearted, popular man. He lived here lor sometime and was a salesman for Shannon A Co. He made many friends hern. On May 16th, 1899, he was happily married to Miss Ethel Flow, who, with n bright little girl, survives him. He was ths oldest of six brothers. su>k nrrcacR.—Bideditches are necessary because tbe thousands of tone ol water which fall upon every mile of country rood each year, in form of rain or enow, should be carried away to eome neighboring creek or other water channel ae feet na the min falls, or an the now melts so as to prevent forming mud and de stroying the surface.
