John Jonesberg, a Norwegian about sixty years old, and living about five miles southwest of here, committed suicide by taking strychnia, last Thursday. He left the house sometime Thursday, and no one suspected he was about to commit the rash act. He was not found until Saturday noon, about a mile from home in a little patch of brush, the cup from which he drank the deadly drug, lying by his side. He leaves a wife and children, and daughter being married.
