Sudden Death.

Night before last, while calling for
mis- mail at the postofice, Clarence
Lee, a young man we'll known in
Butte, was taken with spasms and
fell to the floor In an uncons ::ious
state. His friends assisted him to his
feet. but upon recovery the young
man failed to recognize the fact that
he had fallen. He was accompanied
to Moore's billiard hall where
he proposed to play a social
game, when he was again taken sud-
denly i'll. DR.. Bishop was called and
discovered at once that the young
man was suffering from internal
hemorrhage, caused from the burst
ing Of a blood vessel. A carriage was
produced and the sufferer taken to
mis- room on Granite street. DR..
Bacon was called and pronounced the
verdict given by DR.. Bishop. MI.
Lee died in q few hours. Other
medical men examined b corpse
and rendered the same opinion as
that given by Doctors Bishop and
Bacon. The appearance of the body
after death indicated the PRIME cause.
The fact is now made known that MI.
Lee was stabbed in the back last fall,
and the point of the blade never
found. The point of steel may have
worked its way downward, and in
all probability reached the heart.
where 1t cut through to some vital
artery.
Lee vas but 5 years of age, and
came to Butte from Luells, Utah.
He has q sister here, who will have
his remains shipped to his home.

Honest Thoughts.

The Hon. Stephen DeWolfe is en-.
titled to the respect of the entire com
munity for having the courage to
stand by his convictions. A large
portion Of the assembly at the Opera
House q few evenings since were IN
earnest and conscientious in the steps
they were taking. INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians were on hand as usual and
ready to turn an honest penny. This
last desperate and dying struggle to
maintain supremacy by a few faded
political acts is so transparency thin
that a blind man need not be de-
ceived.
W. have sat down ON this class Of
leaders several times. both here and
at Helena. Will they never be still?
They have, by treachery and other
wise, estranged the gamblers until
they can no longer appropriate them;
therefore they seek a new alliance,

THE DEAR OLD MOTHER.
A Pathetic Romance Told by a Pas.

She was poorly clad, and shivered
as she sat down hear the stove, and
wrung her blue, rough fingers tn

sorry for her, for she had y kind. be-

bled over and over again. "Poor
boy! He was always so good to ME,
and / wonder IT l will be with him
when it comes??"
"Tickets?" said the conductor.
The old woman opened her basket,
and was a long time in looking over
it, although she searched diligently,
and when she got through she looked
very white and sad, and softly said
to the conductor:
'Stop the train and put me off. I
bought my ticket yesterday and put
it in my purse, but [ have forgotten
my purse and left 1t at home. Oh !
sir, l am so sorry, but I was going to

discusses the affairs of the town and
