BUTTE, June 2.-[Special.]- This city
was horrified about o'clock this evening
by report that Deputy Sheriff j. M. Fish
had committed suicide by shooting himself
through the heart. Mr.. Fish had been i'll
for some days, and was thoroughly despon-
dent, but none of his friends had thought
Of his taking his own life. This morning
be wrote note to Sheriff Lloyd, statikR
chat he need not be expected to return to
the Office, but this was thought to be sim
pie expression of his despondency and fear
that the present illness was fatal. At the
time OF the tragedy Fish was alone in the
house with his wife, and when he got out
of bed to secure gun terrible struggle
ensued between the two, Mrs. Fish doing
everything to prevent the contamination Of
his purpose. Finding that she was unable
to cope with him, and becoming convinced
from his actions and talk that her husband
was out Of his mind, for the time at least,
she ran to the nearest neighbours for
help. When left to himself, Fish
stood before the large mirror in
the room, and turning back his clothing 80
that no mistake could be made, ooolly shot
himself through the heart. He fell uncon-
scious at the shot just as his wife returned
with one of'the neighbors, and was dead by
the she could reach his side. Mr.. Fish
was one Of the Oldest and best known resi-
dents of this part of the state. having
come here in 1863. He was for some time q
resident Of Virginia City and was deputy
sheriff Of Madison county under several
successive sheriffs. He was afterward
deputy warden and then warden of the peni-
tentiary at Deer Lodge and left that place
in 1880 to come to Butte. Since that time
he has been almost continuously deputy
sheriff. He was highly regarded rs man
and has the reputation of being one of the
bravest and mose efficient officers in the
state. He was about sixty years of age and
leaves a wife and two children. The coro-
ner's jury summoned at once returned a
verdict of temporary insanity. Funeral
will be held at 8 p. m. tomorrow under

WRITING FOR NEWSPAPERS.

Sensible w ords Which Young Authors
Should Read.
I am very frequently asked whether the
newspaper is the best starting point for
young authors, and in this question lies, in
nine cases out of ten, grave misconcep-
tion, writes Edward w. Box, in the Lad
les Home Journal. Many young writer's
believe that work rejected by the monthly
magazine will find market with the daily
newspaper. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that the same degree of care is un-
necessary for newspaper work as for maga-
zine writing. "The newspaper dies with
is the general feeling, and hence the inn
preston that ephemeral work will find a
ready market with the newspaper.
1t has been my pleasure to write for the
newspaper press of America for six or seven
years, and I give young writers leaf from
my experience when say to them-Do not
allow yourselves to believe that minor work
will find favor with the modern American
newspaper. There is just as much de-
manded of a writer in the newspaper ed
itorial office. as in that of the monthly
magazine. A writer commits the greatest
mistake of her life, when she looks upon
the newspaper rs graduating to
the magazine. The same standard of
grammar and expression set by the maga-
zine holds good with newspapers.
Where the newspaper offers to the young
writer an advantage over the magazine, is in
it's wider field and its larger capacity. Pub
fishing thirty times against the single issue
of magazine. the newspaper naturally abb
serbs more material, and a writer's chances
are corresspondingly, better. Then, too,
subjects which are out of the range of the
magazine, fall directly within the scope of
the newspaper. This is specially true of
with their large circulations, and the neces-
sary slower process. of printing, are
prepared SO far in advance as to
make it impossible for them to get close
enough to timely happenings to make their
discussion of them fresh and interesting.
With the newspaper this is, of course differ
ent, and it is precisely in its ability to treat
of what is latest and freshest wherein lies
its strength. and in these respects the field
is necessarily broadened to the writer.
But. bear in mind. this advantage is only
one of greater capacity, not of less require
ment. Disappointment can be no more GER
tain than when manuscript is sent to a
newspaper editor with the belief that he is
less critical, or that his constituency is less
exacting than is the case of the monthly
