Suicide
Last Sunday evening at 6 o'clock the citizens of McKinney were startled by the report that Dr. O. M. Calhoun had suicided in his office in the Johnson block. When found his office door had to be forced open, it having been propped with a chair on the inside. The doctor had left home about 11 o'clock a. m., saying that he was going to his office to take a rest. When found he was lying on the floor cold in death. On examination it was found that he had injected cocaine into his arm with the evident intention of committing suicide. We learn that the doctor was a victim to cocaine, eating which proved injurious to his mind, so much so that he left several months ago for Missouri to regain his health. He returned and his friends thought him to be much better. They were disappointed, however, for the sad story of his death, revealed the fact that his physical condition was unbearable to him. The doctor was an honorable man and had many warm friends in McKinney which was attested by the large concourse of friends which followed the remains the last resting place last Tuesday evening.
