Believed to have been a sufferer from melancholia, Roy COVERT, aged 29 years, a well known worker in the oil fields of this vicinity, drank carbolic acid Saturday night at the home of George HAMMERLY, where he lived, and died within a half an hour. The remains were taken Sunday to the home of the young man's parents at Renfrew. COVERT had been despondent for some time. He was physically well but was subject to fits of melancholy in which he had several times threatened to take his own life. In spite of his trouble he had continued at his work. Saturday night he came back to the HAMMERLY home and just as he was entering the door, drained the bottle of acid. In four minutes he lost consciousness.
