Bound 10 Die.

It has been reported that A. ]. Swart of
the town of Ward had killed himself, either
by accidental shooting or with intent to COM
nit suicide. Regarding the affair the Todd
County Argus says that he did not die of
the wounds inflicted by the shot, but is
lying very low and is not likely TO recover.
1t is evident that he tried to commit sui
eide. 1t appears that on the evening of the
Goth ult. he requested Mrs. Swart to take
the baby out of the room, the child being
fretful, and while she was out he crawled
from the bed ON which he had lain for
months, except when assisted to rise, and
taking a gun from the corner of the room
placed his head to the muzzle and pulled
the trigger with his hand. In reaching
down to fire the gun his head moved TO one
side so that the shot passed through from
the right to the left cheek. fracturing the
lower jaw and making a frightful wound.
A boy by the name of Gillivray was at the
house, and he ran and called in assistance,
his father reaching Mr.. Swart's place Just
as he was trying to drown himself in a lake
near the house. When taken TO his room
he tried to finish his work by taking a dose
Of acOnite, which he spilled on the floor.
Commissioner l.. ID. French was notified Of
the affair and he procured medical aid, as
the family refused to assist the wretched
man in any way. Domestic troubles are
supposed to be the cause of the deed. Swart
has been unable to speak a word since the
act was committed.

track from its main track north on Wall
street to Front was read. Mr.. A. ID.
LaDue, the right of way agent of the COM
pany, was present. together with the COM
panys attorney, William Gall, Esq, and
asked that the council act as early as posi-
Ole IN regard to the matter. as the arrange
ments for securing the right of way had
been nearly completed. The proposed ordi-
nance seemed to be rather inexpedient to
most of the council, and while very few
opposed granting the Milwaukee road the
right TO enter the lumber yards, where the
Chicago d Northwestern road has always
enjoyed monopoly, yet they were unpre-
pared TO act upon so important a matter
without thoroughly examining the ground.
The matter was referred to the committee
on streets, and in the meantime the ordi-
nance viii definitely state the location of
