Suicide Of an Army officer.

CHICAGO, March 15.-Brevet Major-Gen-
eral Emery Upton, U. S. A., was found dead
in his bed at the Presidio this morning, hav-
ing shot himself in the head some time dur
ing the night. General Upton retired at his
usual hour last night, having spent the eve
ming in social conversation. The first inti-
nation of the tragedy was known this MORN
inc between eight and nine O'Clock, when
his orderly went to call the General. ne
ceiyiup no answer to his knock, the orderly
opened the door and found the ofhcer deaa
I'm bed. The alarm was instantly gwen ana
several officers of the regiment hasteheu 10
the room, when ii was found the Generai
had committed suicide. A revolver was still
grasned m his hand and a bullet wound
through his mouth Into the brain told the
story of his death very plainly. His body
| was cold aud stiff and life had probably been
| extinct several hours-probably since MID
| night. No papers nor anything that might
| serve To indicate the cause of the act have
| AZ vet been discovered; but neither his BODY
NOR the effects in the room have been dis
covered, awaiting the arrival OF The c9foner.
The general impression seems to be tha'
grief AT the loss of his wife prompted him
| to commit suicide.
NEW York, March 1S.-The Herald says
A correspondent advances the theory that
the shooting of General Upton, although M
ow n act, was done during sleep. AS a rule
such Chart able hypothesis are dictated more

would be weak argument against the inten

lock the outside door, locking the jailer IN
with the prisoners. An alarm was then CIV
en- and large number of citizens fastened
to the Jail and released the jailer and Sc
cured the prisoner. He will be double
ironed and strictly guarded until the day OF
his execution. This action of George is sur
prising, since he has always manifested
contrite spirit and didn't desire trial, plead

be hung. When sentence was passed nc
went like child and broke down complete

DEER LODGE COUNTY rlHAHcEs

In this issue appears the annual statement
of the receipts aud expenditures Of Deer
Lodge county for the year ending March i,
1881. The exhibit Is somewhat extended,
but Of interest to taxpayers, as showing the
disposition made Of county moneys. The
this year was s86,348,o2. March /, 1880, the
net Indebtedness was So, 1920. making the
increase of debt during the year S4,224.O2.
This includes the interest OH warrants as
shown by the statement, but In arriving at
the amount of debt the interest does not
properly enter into computation. Taking
the face of outstanding warrants as basis
we get : For March 1, 1880, $69,705.34, and
for March /, 1881, 500, ,334.O3, showing re-
ductIon Of S37l.31. The expenses for last
year were Sll 1882 less than for this In the
county fund alone. Tie present statement
shows reduction In contingent expenses OF
S3,4S3.9l rs to the preceding years state
statement, and the poor fund total is larger
than In 1880 by s2,27j.s2. The expenses OF
election and court terms have added largely
| to the total amount expended.
Another year IL may be reasonably expect
| ed that the administration will be far more
economical. A division of the county has
released the taxpayers now residing in this
county of enormous expenses for court tri-
ais, criminals, etc. With a moderate tax
levy, large and constantly increasing list
Of assessable property, a comparative free
dom from the commission of petty crimes
which entail so much expense, board oi
commissioners and other county officer:
whose labors will be for the interests OF tho
section, the statement of 1882 Will show
large reduction of the debt of this county

The M,,rmnn Question.

New YORK, March 2l.-The Times edito-
rial saws: Now that Governor Murray, OF
Utah, has turned his face toward the setting
sun we may hope there will be an end to the
twaddling about his determination to uproot
the evils Of polygamy. Murray seems 10
think that the best way to accomplish the
purposes, where to he bends his genius, isto
fire salutes, blow trumpets and make great
noise. His first step was to give certificate
of election to an anti Mormon who had not
been elected, as though the fact that he is an
anti Mormon could justify the act and ind
favor with Congress and the people. HIS
last utterance before he goes back to the
place in which he belongs Is that Garfield
said that he is also determined to suppress
polygamy. No President in his right mih'
can say less. No President with the power
which are granted to the Chief Executive
| can do much in this direction. When Con
gress seriously and resolutely addresses 1t
self to the suppression of polygamy some
| thing will be accomplished.
