On Wednesday our people were start
led by the announcement that Joe.
Swift had shot himself at Bellevue,
either by accident or with suicidal in
tentions. The latter state of affairs was
discredited by large circle Of friends,
and properly discredited, as will appear
by the following. Just before leaving
with his stock for Snake river, he
bought new self-cocking pistol.
While on the way he drew the weapon
from his pocket to examine it, when it
was discharged, the ball entering the
left side just below the nipple. He was
taken to HALEY, and is at the Office of
the Parker Company. The wound is
not considered dangerous.
Edward Graham, who with his
brother James, were a few years ago
weil-known residents of Silver City,
Idaho, died in st, Vincent's hospital at
Portland, one dsy last week, victim to
consumption, brought on by exposure
and want. Only few years ago Ed.
Graham, falling heir to the possessions
Of his brother, James, had 100000.
Going to California he fell an easy prey
to a lot of thieves and sharpers whom
he fondly regarded as his friends. Two
of these, one from Omaha named Shoaf,
and his wife, secured complete control
over the wesk-minded Graham, and
taking him to Portland, Or, opened u
billiard hall and gambling den 10 grand
style with his money. Many years ago
the Grahams changed their names from
Grimes for some cause, and the Shoals
to him the. enormity Of this
offense until they finally persuaded him
to give all his remaining property to the
woman for safe keeping. After doing
this he was treated little, if any, better
than dog by them, and their business
collapsed. Without dollar to his namo
be wandered the streets Of Portland.
drinking whenever and whatever he
could; subsisting upon the bounty of
friends until he succumbed to the dread
disease, and at last, friendless and for
orn, he was cared for by the sisters of
charity, those ministering angels of
mercy, whose pleasure seems to be in
caring for the sick and distressed and
making the few remaining days OF life
pleasant to the dying sufferers.
