Died Returning Home.

Jefferson Davis, a resident Of Blackfoot
died of consumption at Albert Lea, about 100
miles east of St. Paul, March 81, while re-
turning, in care Of his mother and sister, to
his home from Georgia. He was aged at out
q or % years, and has been a resident of
Blackfoot since '65 or 'G6, being but lad
when his people removed there. He was
married some years ago, and leaves sorrow
full wife and two bright, winsome children.
Mr. Davis was good citizen and had quite a
comfortable property. A few months ago he
was taken with some pulmonary trouble and
during the severe winter he thought trip to
the old home in Georgia might benefit him.
But once there, he found the heavy, damp
atmosphere and the clouded, rainy skies,
were not beneficial, and he desired to return
after short stay. He only reached the
point named when he died. His remains
were brought to Blackfoot Sunday and bur
led in the cemetery at that place, the entire
population being present at his funeral.

stop That Cough.

Great danger often results from neglected
coughs, and it will not do to experiment
with medicines doomed by imported testimo-
mails of parties whose very existence is ques-
tionable. The proper thing to do is to al
ways keep in your cupboard bottle of
Acker's English Remedy, which has proved
so satisfactory to our own fellow citizens: !:

the least benefit. Recently l purchased a

A SAD TRAGEDY,
Willie Jack Fatally Shot by the Accidental
Discharge of q Pistol.
Inter. Mountain, March 29tls.

Inter. .QOuntaln, March 29uks
A very sad accident occurred at about l
o'clock this afternoon at the residence OF
Chas. 8. Warren on the corner of Montana
aud Quartz Streets. Willie Jack, son OF
Hon. William NJ. Jack, and Wesley Warren,
| son of Chas. S. Warren, were playing by
themselves in an up stars room. Both are
| about 12 years Of age. Mr. and Mrs. Warren
were both away from home at the time, the
only person in the house besides the children
being Mr.. Birdseye, who was sitting down
stairs He heard shot and somebody fall
upon the floor. On Investigation it was
found that Willie Jack had been shot
through the head, the bullet entering at the
hack of the head, passing through it, and
coming out at the forehead, but lodging
under the skin. Wesley was at first SO terri
fed by the accident that nothing coherent
could be gained from him as to the true cir
cumstances of the sad affair. but when his
father and mother came home they quieted
him sufficiently to learn the facts. It appears
the boys each had a pistol and were talking
of trading. Willie took Wesley's pistol and
tried to remove the chamber which contains
the cartridges, but being unable to do so
AduAtu IL odCh W w OSlcv3 WIZ pAOCcoucA W
show him how it was done. While attempt
ing to do so, however, the pistol was dis
charged and the bullet struck Willie in the
manner above related.
At this writing the wounded boy is still
living, and the doctors think it possible he
may last several hours. w nat maKes the au7
cident more sad is the fact that neither Mr..
nor Mrs. Jack are in Bntte, having been in
California for several weeks. They are on
their way home, however, and are supposed
to have left Portland this morning. They
will be home tomorrow. A special train
will await their arrival at Garrison so that
there will be no delay.
The lad above referred to has been attend
ing the College Of Montana and only went
home Wednesday morning. The afflicted
parents have the universal sympathy Of our
people.
A dispatch received at 8 o'clock last even
ing stated that Willie Jack was dead.

MARY's LITTLE LAMB AND FREE
WOOL

DEDICATED TO MONTANA WOOL GROWERS.
Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow:
She built a little Tariff pen
To keep it safe, you know.
But Roger Mills, he came along
An ugly man was he
And sun ashed the little Tariff pen,
To let the lamb 90 free.
And in the night an English wolf,
AS silent as clam,
Came prowling round the broken Fen
And killed the little lamb.
Then Mary wept, but hopeful said
ssl'll have free wool at least"
"And so you shall,'' said Roger Mills
So said the ugly beast
But when she went to get the fleece
The wolf was sitting on it;
"Come on," said he, "and get your wool;
I've fixed my price upon it,"
So Mary traded with the wolf,
And roundly did she pay;
For that dear fleece she fed the beast

and one female patient are conva!escent.
The management Of the institution IS admir-
able everything that science and sympathy
can suggest is done for the comfort, care and
restitution Of the inmates. The institution
and all the surroundings thereof are clean,
tidy and homelike. The diet, medical and
surgical attention and all other things per-
tanning to or affecting the health and well
being of these unfortunates, are all that can
be desired.
l beg to call your attention to the fact that
some of the inmates of this institution are,
as / am informed, owners of property, the
increase of which would be ample to pay all
expenses incurred in keeping and providing
for such inmates. AS the law now stands, all
Of these expenses are paid by the Territory
without reference to the ability of the patient
to ttefray his own expenses. I recommend
that some legislation should be enacted
which would secure to the Territory remun-
Grafton from those patients who have ample
resources from which to make such remuner-
alton.
