TO attend young woman in a house of
on Meadow Valley street.
who was said to be in dying condition.
On arriving he found one of the inmates
unconscious and sinking rapidly from
the eff-cts of laudanum. The halt empty 4
phial at her side showed that she had |
swallowed half an ounce Of the deadly |
narcotic. She was restored by promptly |
administering antidotes, but would have !
been past recovery if the physicians visit
had been delayed few moments. She
is prrpossessing woman, about 20 or %
years OF age, and formerly lived in Boze-
man, Montana, where, 1t is SAID, her
father, an honest, hardworkiny carpen-
ter, now resides. Her associat S thus
give the circumstances which | d TO the
rash act: She came to Piocte with n
young man from Deer Lodge. Montana,
who represented himself able t. make
good living for her at some respectable
employment; arriving in Piocht, she was
forced to prostitution for livelihood,
her paramour taking money from her as
fast as she received it. Sh, ut last
gave him funds to return to Suit Like.
Arriving there, he wrote back to Ler TO
send him money to defray his expenses
back here. She had hoped, it ST ems, to
never see him again. On receiving this
letter she RENTED to him all her coin,
except four bits to buy laudanum, and,
in very despair, sought to kill herself.
