During a business visit ot the Doctor to Union, Yates be came dissatisfied with his position and , "departing lett behind (not a) footprint on the sands of time." Refore his de- I parture, .vhich was not at all hurried, he pained about an ounce of croton oil into live bottles of tinctures. This was dis- I covered before any of the drugs had been sold, or serious results might have fol- 1 lowed, as one drop of the oil is a dose and ! is then only given in severe cases. Dr. ) Ruhr, of Pine, made the analysis. Dr. Howard stales that he is also shy about J 16 In money and several articles of value. 1 No reasonable cause can be given for I Yates' actions, as he was always con sidered relianle and trustworthy. It is slid that h had been drinking heavily of bitters, and his friends allege that he was not responsible for his actions.' Dr. Howard says he will bring him to Justice if it takes a lifetime and U taking ineas uies to that effect. G.irsou Tocsin.
