by the proprietor, who found hi at in
bed in a half-conscious state. He
remarked that he would not
get up at present. but
would arite after awhile. About 330
o dock, loud scream* and groan* were
heard emanating from Swaffor.i's
room, ("poo Mr Bartlett's entrance
Mwafford asked to have a doctor called
at once, stating that be wat suffering
from poi»on. which he bad -wallowed.
Dr Noble having been hastily called
asked him what be hail taken.'
"Strychnine," was the answer.
What for?"
* 4 Oh, I am tired of living,"
Br. Noble found that the man was
too far gone to be able to do anything
for him.
After some convulsion*, during
which the man >utlered terrible agony,
he drew his la-*t breath ami lay back
on his pillow dead.
A tattle of strychnine half full was
found under the Wd, where the suicide
had thrown it. His body and few ef
fects were taken charge of by the cor
oner, and as soon as his rela'ives can
lie heard from the inquest will beheld.
The suicide was a native of Ken
tucky and 35 years of age and a car
penter bv trade. His full name was
John Willis Hwafiord. He has been
on the Sound for some time and wa
la«»t employed at Thomas Johnson's
-awmillat North Seattle.
The man i* given an excellent repu
tation by Mrs. 8. A. Johnson of Ellens
burgh. in whose house he had roomed
for some time. Mrs. Johnson is now
on a vi-it to this city. Swsfford had
borrowed her gold watch, chain, and
ring, and had pawned tbe former for
$5, nevertheless Mrs, Johnson is of the
opinion that Hwaflbitl was suffering
from a temporary tit of insanity, when
he took the poison, and that he fully
intended to return the jewelry. He
had intimated that he would take his
life several times and had also written
the following- which has been obtained
from Mrs. Johnson:
Whatcom, W. T.. Jau. 1,13*9.
Mr*, s. A. Jnhn*on, Fllen*hur.jh. If. T. —

JNO W. SWAFFORD.
P. B.—l send you the check for the
watch, and you can have Mr. Johnson get
it for you.

»W AFFORD
Swafford also wrote to William
Gillson of North Seattle on January
1 that be intended taking his life, but
assigned no immediate cause for it.
He had borrowed several small sums
of money from different in
Seattle, and had not repaid any of
them.
Mr*. Johnson, in company with a
Post-I.ntxlliuknc fb reporter, recog
nized the U>dy at the morgue la-t
evening, and stated that he had told
her that he had a married lister
name I Mrs. Laura A. Bradford living
on Batterv street in North Seattle,
ami also a brother, a l>r. James Swat
ford, who resides somewhere in
British Columbia. No cause can be
assigned for the deed, except that
Swaflord was financially embarrassed,
and had worried .wid brooded himself
into a morose mental condition.

Work was ber*:n > e«enkr wi tbe
foundation of the new three-story
brick of Judge Thomas Burke, at the
comer of Maii<on and
Third *treet?. The pians for the
s-tructure, which hare jost been drawn
by Fishe*. the architect, show it to
be the neatest and most ornate in the
city. The corner of this building will
be adorned with a circular tower
w hose -pire rises above the ground 78
feet. There sriil be four storeroom*,
three on Marion an<l one on Third, on
the ground floor. The upper storiea
will be divided into suites of living
rootn«. The ground dimension* of
the brick are (nxCO feet. The work of
construction is in charge of Karkeek
Bros., and il is expected that it wiU be
finished by June 1. The cost will be
$20,000.
The ground plans of the new brick
to be erected by Capt. Darid Gimore,
of Seattle, and Wm. Kirman.of Walla
Walla, have been drawn, and work
trill be commenced next week on the
excavation, at the corner of Front and
University streets. It is proposed to
erect there a building of brick and
stone five stories in height on Front
and eight stones in the rear. The
structure will have a frontage of 120
feet and will be 110 feet deep. The i
store-rooms will be three in number
and will be in diuien.»ions 40x110 feet. !
The rooms on tbe ground floor in front
will be occupied by retail stores and
those in the rear will be utilized for
wholesale establishments. A pile
driver is already at work on the water ;
front, adjacent to the proposed build- '
ing, driving piles for a proposed wharf
to be used for the jobbing nouses.
Tbe building wilt be brick and stone
and will be of modern style of archi
tecture. Three of the store-rooms and .
a large portion of the basement are
already leased as are the entire first
two upper stories above Front street.
The work of exravation will

immediately laid. The plans for the
superstructure are now being drawn
by Fisher The cost of the brick will
be about SIOO,OOO.
Over brick and 500,000 feet
of lumber will be used in tbe construc
tion of the new six-story building of
the Hon. 11. L. Ye-ler, at the corner
of Front ami James streets, opposite
the Occidental hotel. The tenants of
the buildings at present occupying the
site have t»een notified to vacate bv
February 1. and the work of demoli
tion of the old wooden structure* will
be inaugurated immediately there
after.
Preliminary arrangements for the
commencement of work on the build
ing are maturing rapidly. The plans
are being laid in detail. The lumber
