TIRED OF LIFE.
A Cypriau Voluntarily Joins the
Silent Majority.

Day before yesterday q cyprian
named Clara Morgan sent a China>
man to q Main street drug store for
Is grains of morphine. He purchased
the drug and took it to her. The
woman had been drinking during
the day, and it is supposed that
while laboring under the effects of
liquor she took the whole of the NOR
phine at one dose. Her male friend
came to her room early in the even
ing and finding her lying across the
foot of the bed-as he supposed in a
drunken stupor-disrobed her and
put her in bed. While preparing to
upon the table near the bed. This
retire he saw q bottle Of gin
he poured in the washbowl to pre-
vent her from taking more of it. He
then laid down by her side.
Yesteday morning he awoke, got up
and dressed and was about to leave
the room when he thought he would
awaken her and give her some ad-
vice about drinking. He laid his
hand upon her shoulder. but his first
effort to arouse her disclosed the hor-
rible fact that he had been sleeping
beside corpse. The woman was
cold and rigid in death. Coroner
Sarchet was Immediately notified,
jury summoned and a verdict rem
dered that she came to her death by
morphine, administered by her own
hand with suicidal intent.
Clara Morgan was about q years of
age, was once happily married and
at one time lived in San Francisco.
She parted from her husband in Col
orado and has been in Butte but q
short time. She is said to have been
a woman of fine education and of
pleasing manner and address. What
troubles have borne upon her heart
to induce her to lay down a life rather
than to suffer longer none but Him
who gave it will ever know. All that
remains of q once happy, innocent
girl, blushing bride, loving, de-
voted wife, an abandoned, dissolute
woman will fill suicides grave to.

There Is much reason to expect that

the collateral which the company
will have to offer as security for loan.
The annual meeting of the corpora

as changes in the management are
possible it seems to NE more appropri-
ate to leave that matter for the new
board of directors to deal with. The

to bring the company from the very
critical condition in which it was
found last December into one of un.
doubted s0lvency. to adjust and ray
the floating Indebtedness, which
proved to be much larger than was
anticipated, and generally to bring
affairs into snug condition. A much
