AN ovERPLUs OF DEATHS.
Montana Breaks the Record for Nor
tality During the Past Week.


HELENA, Mont, June 17.-An un-
precedented number of fatalities have
occurred in this state within the last
week, not due to any disastrous calamity.
Most of them were accidental, though
some were criminal. Tuesday night of
last week Editor Penrose, was assassi-
mated at Butte, and there is yet small
clue to his murderers. Sunday. last
Charles Carlson, foreman on the
Barker branch, was drowned in Belt
creek at Neshart. He had quarrel in
saloon, and thinking gang was about
to set upon him plunged into the stream.
Charles A.. Jones, a young lawyer of
Butte, made fourth attempt at suicide,
and was successful. The same day a
miner named Thomas. Bum was killed
at Wickes, in a shallow prospect hole,
by. a cave-in. Mabel Witham, girl in
her teens, was killed Monday, at Mis-
soula, by being shot in the head with a
target rifle in the hands of Mrs. James
Mulligan, whose carelessness is respon-
sible for the shocking accident. The
same day transient boarder named
Woods ate poisoned mushrooms at a
boarding house in Great Falls and died
in, great agony few days ago, Peter
Peters, a Swede, living on Quartz creek,
Missoula county, accidentally shot him
self i'll the abdomen and died from the
injuries. A lad named Fortune was
drowned last week near Great Falls, and
Mr.. Benton Kennedy met similar fate
in the Yellowstone, not far from Living
ston. The horribly mutilated body of a
tramp was. found on the track near
Livingston Yesterday, and the only clue
to his identity was an envelope addressed
to w. F. Purcell, Brampton, Ontario.
