SHOT HIS HEAD OFF.
The Desperate Suicide of Dutch
Henry at Bard's.
Retired to the School With
Double BarreIIed Shotgun.
A Stock Tender Hung Himself up in
Fremont County.

There was a suicide up country yester.
day. 1t was a rough. unretined, bloody
piece of self. destruction, but highly sue
cessful. Dutch Henry a ranch hand,
formerly a sheep herder. killed himself at
Bard's place, where he has been employed
for some time. He had long been re.
garded as half crazy and harmless.
Henry retired to the school-room ad-
joining the Bard residence with a double
barrelled shotgun. he placed the bust
ness end in his mouth, aud pushing the
triggers with his toes sent the two charges
into his head. The skull was shattered
and IN place OF the shapely head was a
bloody mess OF flesh and bone.
Coroner Chafiu was notified, but
1t is doubtful il an inquest will be
held.
This the second suicide in the new
state. Word was brought to Lander last
week that a stocktender had hanged him
self to a tree near the Butler crossing OF
Beaver creek. The Clipper learned that
the man was SEQ. McDougal, formerly Of
Valentine, Neb. He came to Wyoming
last spring, and went into the employ Of
the Niobrara company when the new line
was started by way of the Mission. He
was pat in charge of the stock at Butler
crossing, and had been there about q
week when the tragedy occurred. The
reasons assigned are family troubles.

GOES TO THE PEN.
Sam'I Montgomery Found Guilty Of
Murder In the Second Degree.

In the district court at Lander, Samuel
MONTGOMERY. charged with killing Benia.
min Fordham, has been found guilty of
murder in the second degree. Several
months ago a party of FIVE, including
Montgomery and Fordham, left Rapid
City, OAK, for Oregon, overland. tracing
their route through the territory until
their arrival at Crooks, about the last OF
October. At that place Fordham left
the party on Saturday, Oct. 26. and on
Monday, according to Gaunt, $40 was
missed by the party, and the boy
suspected of having stolen it. Mont
gomery started out to overtake him and
recover the money. On Tuesday, the
next day, Montgomery returned and stat
ed to the party that he had found the boy
but that he had gotten away
from him. Fordham's dead body
was found by the roadside shortly after
ward.
The most direct and damaging testi-
mony was that OF j. "a. Smith, the trap
per. who picked up the boy two days
after he had left the camp of his compan-
ions. The boy came L him that morning
in company with Dan Westfall and
wanted to 20 along with him and ride
one of his ponies as far as Rawlins. That
day they rode about ten miles from Elv's
and went into camp at Little Creek.
About shutdown Montgomery appeared
on the top of a raise by the side of the
camp and at the very first told Smith he
''didn't want him but it was the kid he
was after Montgomery stayed to sup
per, and then insisted that the boy should
return with him to the party that he had
left the Saturday before. Smith asked
Montgomery what the boy had done. and
was told that be had stolen $45 from one
of the party and left with it. This the
boy denied at the time, and showed what
money he had. amounting to some six
dollars. Montgomery and the boy started
of together soon after SHUTDOWN, the boy
o seeming to have any objections to
going. 1t was about four miles from
Smiths camp that the body of the boy
was found.

1t is still commended by every one con-

being erected at Cheyenne will neither re-
duce the amount of work done no lessen

man said he could see work enough ahead
on the Wyoming division which never
comes to Omaha to keep the Cheyenne
shops busy one year. All the wood en-.
gines-and there are several hundred OF
them-need new fire boxes as well as a
general ~overhauling. Mr.. Middleton. the

say that the John Crerar library, for
the erection and maintenance of which
Mr.. Crerar left over $1,000, 900, will
never be built if the contestlng
heirs win their case. The heirs who
will make the contest are living in this
