The report i'm the STANDARD this morn
ing that Brady, sentenced from Butte for
burglary, had died in the penitentiary was
incorrect. He will die in a short time

from the train and he received injuries
from which he cannot recover. II Brady
dies, and he will die, II will be the third
death among the prisoners this year. The
record is being broken badly for men sell

state prison. George Godas, the first to
die this year, was half-breed

kills them. Allen Lewis. the second man,
a negro, died from consumption. As q

get sick. The utmost cleanliness prevails
and the prisoners gain In health and
strength unless they are sent there with
seeds of disease already planted i'm them.
