Palestine, Tex., March 3.--James ELROD, 65 years of age, a prosperous farmer living ten miles northeast of Palestine, died from the effects of strychnine last night. Telling his wife he wanted the poison to kill rabbits with, she gave him the bottle, and, taking a large dose on the point of his knife, he deliberately swallowed it. All attempts to restore him failed, and death resulted in an hour. Mr. ELROD was happy and prosperous in all the relations of life, and it is believed the rash act was the result of failing intellect.Submitted: 08/24/07
