Olds, 1875 Pickaway Co. Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Democrat and Watchman Feb. 19, 1875 Circleville, Ohio The well-known druggist, C.A. OLDS, attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the left breast with a revolver, last Monday evening, about five o'clock. He had eaten his supper with the children as usual, and rising from the table stepped into the next room, closing the door behind him. In a few moments the loud report of a revolver burst upon their ears. Quickly opening the door, they saw their father lying upon the floor, the blood streaming from an ugly wound in his left breast. Help was immediately summoned, and Drs. Ray THOMPSON and GILDERSLEEVE were called to ascertain the extent of the injuries, which were found to be much less dangerous than at first supposed. The ball had struck one of the ribs, and following it, came out on the back, inflicting a severe flesh wound. He was made as comfortable as possible, and is doing well. The unfortunate man assigns no reason for his rash act, other than that he did not desire to live, and threatens to repeat it at the first opportunity. A considerable amount of arsenic, strychnine, bromide of chloral and other poisonous substances, were found about the premises, and removed by the physicians.
