Some think from the result of strychnine
Friends Think he was doped.
Adam Black, a well to do ranchman of Chilcot, Ward County, was found dead at Stanley yesterday morning. Current reports are that he committed suicide. His brother, County Commissioner Wm. Black, thinks different and will investigate. A telegram received here says he took strychnine, but it is a hard story for his friends to believe. Coroner Crokat went out to investigate.
