surcrpEp AT PIERRE
A. W. johnson Commits Suicide While
Temporarily Insane.

A. W. Johnston, candidate on the
republican ticket for registerofdeeds,
ex-mayor OF Pierre, a member Of
Pierre,s famous capital committee
and one OF our most honored and
respected citizens, was found Friday
morning in a gIlch about two miles
from Pierre with a bullet through his
brain. A note found beside him
stated that he had been feeling
unwell for several weeks and that the
pain had become 50 bad in his head
that he could stand il no longer. The
last seen of him was on Monday
morning, but no alarm was felt for
him until Friday, when a searching
party went to look for him with the
above result. He must have shot
himself last Monday. The body was
found in a bad state OF decompOsition.
Johnston had been acting strangely
for several days before he left, but no
one took much notice, as he was
naturally Of Il quiet disposition. He
was Illuminated b. reclamation for a
county office and was sure OF election,
rs he was very popular. Insanity
runs in the family and the
excitement OF the political cam
paign must have temporarily
unbalanced his mind. He owned a
large amount Of property, which was
encountered some, but not enough TO
worry him financially. His life was
insured for $4,000. He leaves an
aged, widowed mother, who kept
house for him, and one brother to
mourn his death. Johnston was
formerly in partnership in the law
business with a cousin who is now
running for congress in the Fifth
Iowa district.
His death viii be mOurned al over
the state, as he was well known. He
was a prominent member of the
Masonic order,

General Sickles still insists upon his

Harrison sent no substitute to the rout.
He went himself and did some effective
fighting. have personal knowledge OF

remarks, coming from the lips of a
Democrat. caused a sensation General

The fire is supposed to be the work OF

Naulleous became involved in a
quarrel, which resulted in the
physician getting the worst Of the
encounter. After the fire he armed
himself and meeting Squirting in a

was knocked down and as he arose he
pulled a revolver and shot Squirting
twice in the body, killing him. The
murderer lies at the point Of death

White River Reservation.

The people of Western Colorado who uro di-
rectly interested in the proposed White River
plateau reservation, are after II. Ii. Eddy's
scalp for the gnme he has worked to PRIV
mote cattle grazing scheme for himself and
Others. Eddy assured the settlers within the
boundaries of the projected site that they
would lose their clRim7, or ut most get noni-
nal pay for their improvements. and thus or
canned sentiment in favor of new bounda-
rics for the reservation that would destroy
its utility in preserving forests and game and
end in killing the project altogether.
The settlers are now in possession of posi-
tive assurance from the interior department
that Eddy deceived them and that the rights
OF every settler up to the date Of the presi-
dents proclamation will he respected and all
will have the privilege of proving mp and re
maininp in peaceful possession OF their prop
erty. Instead of losing by the setting apart of
the proposed territory the settlers will be
largely the gamers, for since settlements viii
cease with the executive proclamation, II will
leave the fortunate ones with ample range
for domestic stock in parpetuity.
The proposed White River Plateau rescrva-
ton has been unanimously approved by Il
Colorado legislature, by several public meet
ings of citizens and by the public-spiritcd
people of the state generally. II would be of
Immense advantage to Colorado, and IS the
only feasible plan yet devised for perpctua-
ting the wild game and preserving the streams
OF large section of the state.
The purpose has thus Ear been defeated by
the selnshness, triclSery, and dishonesty of
ii. II. Eddy. One of his objects in having

Surely the advantages certain to result to the
