Recovery of the Would-be Suicide--
His Identity.
What is Being Done in the Courts--
General Totes.
The would-be suicide.

1t turns out that the real name of the
man who is tired of life and attempted to
put an end to his career by taking sixty
grains of gum opium at the Elliott house is
Patrick Mcclure and not w. NJ. Anderson.
as he registered. This fact was disclosed
yesterday when the check found in
his pocket was taken to the
Omaha depot, where valise was
found corresponding with it. The valise
was taken to the Elliott house and opened
and the contents examined. 1t contained
some underclothing, shirts. collars, pair
OF bran new slippers, nine razOrs, shaving
strap, brush and other articles. A package
of letters were also found addressed to Il.
P. Mcclure and Pat Mcclure, which estab-
liShed the fact that his name is not Ander-
son as first supposed. From the letters it
is learned that he has served as guard in
the state prisons in Arkansas and Texas
and has been employed as foreman in the
shops of the Northern Pacific railroad at
Winnipeg. Letters of recommendation
were found from the two prisons named and
at the shops at Winnipeg. at which place he
went under the name of George McMichael,
for some unknown reasons. Among the
letters found was number of gushing ones
with whom it appears that Mcclure was
dead III love- The girl it appears gave him
the slip. which is probably the reason he
wanted to die. The GLOBE representative
called to see him about II o'clock on
Wednesday evening and attempted to get
him to talk, which proved unavailing. He
apparently knew what was going on in the
room but would answer no questions, sim
ply shaking his head, which he did only
once. Remarks made about him at the
time appeared to affect him somewhat.
After the writer and several guests left him
he got up and locked the door. Up till that
time he was not taken to the hospital. Last
evening he had not spoken word to any
person and did not appear to care to live.
The only nourishment he has taken was
little milk in the morning. which he first
refused to take. After he had dressed him
self preparatory to going to the hospital he
was offered and refused a drink of whisky.
During the day he smoked several cigars.
He was able to walk to and from the patrol
wagon in which he was taken to the hos
pital, but appeared to be quite weak and
nervous.

Flandrau is coming to the front as cattle
and hog market, and buyers report having
done quite profitable business during the
month of November, shipping quite a num-
Der of carloads from here to Chicago and
getting for them the highest market price.
Farmers in Moody county are beginning TO
turn their attention more to this industry
and say they can realize more cash from it,
with less expense than raising grain exclu-
sively. Sheep raising is also beginning to be
very profitable business in this county, and
numbers of large flocks are already to be
seen when riding through the country. The
wool clip this year far exceeded all expecta-
tons, and farmers are therefore happy. Sew
eral blooded cattle and Clydesdale. Percheron
and Norman horses will be imported here
next spring, and with those already here,
Moody county will be second to none in the
territory for fine-bred stock. Farmers from
the Eastern states are here, men with means,
and are quite delighted with the country, and
are buying farms where opportunity offers.
Those who have already purchased say they
and their families will move on their lands
early next spring. Land is still at a nominal
figure, and good farms can be had from $40
to $40 an acre, according to location and i'm
movements

Major 1Eoore's Appointment.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH Mimi, Dec. 3.-The announce
ment of the appointment of Maj. IL. B.
Moore of this city as collector of customs
for the Duluth district, to succeed DR. YES
pasiau Smith, received here in this morn
ing's GLOBE, created considerable comment,
and, although not wholly unexpected,
it is quite a surprise among the old Duluth
Democrats who do not consider they have
been treated fairly i'll the matter of appoint
ments thus far. The three important gov
eminent berths viz: postmaster, register of
the land Office and collector of customs, have
all been given to comparative strangers
here. neither Flynn, Marblen or Moore being
Old citizens of Duluth, all having come here
within the last three years or SO, and leav-
ing out in the cold such good old stand-bys
as Capt. T. A. Olmstead, j. j.
; Hibbard, c. G. Miller, j. j. Far
treIl, and number of other
+ Democrats who have lived here for the last
fifteen years and worked faithfully for the
glorious cause. That the appointment Of
Maj. Moore is a good one is not gainsaid,
as far as capability and probity are con-
cerned, and it is viewed with satisfaction
by Mugwumps, Republicans and Democrats
who have arrived here lately. But the old
resident Democrats, who have fought the
Democratic battles for the past fifteen years,
: do not feel as If it was giving them the fair
shake. 1t was at first thought that V.
Smith, our present collector would not be
lremoved. as his brother, James Smith, late
president of the St. Paul d Duluth rail-
road, stood high in the Democratic councils,
and it is said that James Smith went to
Washington and had q personal interview
! with President Cleveland in behalf of his
brother, with no success. Smith, unfOr-
tunately for himself, not agreeing with
Hon. p Ii. Kelly, and could not get the

sary in all Northwestern appointments.

Dakotans Dissatisfied.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-There is consid-
cradle feeling displayed among Dakotans
here in reference to the presumption OF
Col. William P. Thompson of Bismarck in
the way of recommending appointments.
He is said to sign his papers as chairman OF
the Independent Democratic committee OF
Dakota. This is said to represent no con-
venton of the Democracy within that ter
ritory, but to have been agreed upon and
created by few Dakotans in Washington
city. It was given out few days ago that
Cyrus Thompson, his son. had been ap-
pointed postmaster at Symmes. There
seems to have been something premature
in this selection. for, if it was ever really
made, it was withdrawn and an entirely
different name substituted. 1t has been
found by persistent inquiry at the postoffice
department that this alteration was made
because no recognition is to be given to this
rump committee, unless its recommenda-
lions are of preferable men, and not made
merely to secure the snubbing of the regu-
lar representatives of the territory.

threw Hurley off and at the next station

was found by the track just enough alive

entire country was aroused and the sur

Chili's Diplomat on a Drunk.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Del Campo, the
Gillian diplomat, kicked up high
jinks again Tuesday night. The Theatre
Comique was the scene of his hurrah. He
began by assaulting woman and kicking
over the chairs. The management elected
him from the theater and thereupon he pro-
ceeded to smash all the windows he could
reach. He was arrested and taken to the
station. where it was found that he was
Manuel Del Campo, the secretary of the
CHILEAN legation. He was at once released,
but became very abusive of the officers.
Word was sent to the Gillian minister and
before an answer was received it was found
necessary to eject him from the station house
on account of his disorderly conduct. The
Theatre Comique proprietor sent bill of
$50 to the CHILEAN legation, but could get
no satisfaction. Chill has got one of the
finest war ships afloat, and is very beflig-
erent little republic, but really these jambo-
rees of Del Campo at the capital will have
to be noticed officially. The gentlemen of
the state department look very sober and
shake their heads to-day at the mention of
the terrible name of Del Campo.
