lives on Ten Mile, near Helena, died at that
place on last Saturday morning. We were

regret to say that in setting up the dispatch
the item got somehow mixed with the &C.
count Of an unsuccessful attempt to suicide
at Jefferson City on the same day.
On Sunday afternoon the engineer at
Boyce's single mill in the Park came very
near losing his life. 1t is stated that he
crowded on too much steam, the result being
that the boiler exploded. The upper part
was blown through the roof, and the ends
were also blown out. Fortunately the engl-
neer was unhurt, though the force of the con-
cussion was sufficient to hurl him a distance
of several yards.

idence of the gentleman's legal attainments.
