Miss Coyne took the drug an hour earlier, and died in convulsions. Medical aid was summoned both from Montrose and Keokuk, but nothing could save her. Her death occurred at her father’s home five miles from this city. Miss Coyne’s death was doubtless due to her having taken the poison by accident. The drug was in the form of crystals, and was in a bottle along with other medicines kept in the house. It is presumed that she made a mistake in getting the bottle, although she realized what she had done for she told her father she had taken strychnine. Dr. Buck of Montrose was called in arrived a few minutes before the young woman died in a convulsion. She had several convulsions before he arrived. Dr. Fuller was also called from Keokuk. Miss Coyne was 33 years old. She is survived by her father, one sister in Chicago and several brothers.
