Suicide Of Robert McCabe.

The Boise Statesman says: News
has reached this city Of the suicide
Of Robert McCabe, an old time
miner Of Idaho, at Atlanta on Aug
28th. He hung himself to tree.
McCabe, it is said, had an appe-
tite for whisky which developed
into a mania. His sole ambition
seemed to be to food his system
with liquor. He had been a hard
working miner in days gone by, but
whisky had taken all desire for
manual labor out of him.
A short time age he informed a
number of people at Atlanta that
be was going to kill himself unless
they supplied him with whisky and
provisions. To emphasize his state.
ment he threw a rope over the limb
of q tree, and, climbing ladder,
threatened to jump into eternity
before their very eyes unless his de-
mands were complied with.
He repeated this performance
several times and the crowd as Of
ten gave him what he wanted, after
which some one would cut the rope
down. But McCabe readily secured
another for his next performance.
The Statesman's informant stated
that this method of extortion be-
came tiresome, and it was decided
to see what the old man would do
if be was given no whisky. They
never dreamed be would carry out
his threat.
No attention was paid to him
when he made his customary de-
mand and declaration on the 18th.
Whether he deliberately jumped of
the ladder, or whether he slipped,
will never be known, but a short
time after it was announced that
his ruse would work no longer his
body was discovered swinging from
the end of the rope.
McCabe was 58 years of age and
is said to be we'll known in many
mining camps in Idaho.

CAPrAu PAUL wIBB Is DEAD.
The Daring Young Athlete Pays the
Penalty Of His Awful Ride

Captain Paul Webb is dead. Aftel
eight weeks Of patient suffering, say,
the Spokane Chronicle, the luckless
young adventures breathed his last
! at 2:3O o'clock on the afternoon Of
Aug. 29th, at the hospital of the Sa'
cred Heart. For days it has been
certain that he was slowly nearing
death and that the heart might be
affected and stop beating at any
time-indeed the only wonder was
that be could live so long.
James Stewart, better known by
his assumed name of Captain Paul
Webb, was product of this novelty
loving age-a young athlete, strong,
handsome and afraid of nothing
under the sun. For the purpose of
raising money to pay off a mortgage
on his fathers farm he had adopted
the plan of risking his life in all
kinds of perilous feats, knowing
how readily some people will pay
money to see a man risk his life.
About ten weeks ago he appeared
in town, bringing huge air-tight,
steelhooped, heavily padded barrel,
in which he declared be would go
over the Spokane falls and through
the whirlpool as he had gone over
smaller waterfalls west of the Gas
cades.
Probably he could have done this
in safety. Unluckily the plan was
changed. A big excursion to Lake
Ceur d'Alene was planned for the
Fourth of July. Someone suggested
that Webb should agree to ride
down the long, steep log chute in
his barrel and plunge into the lake
Afraid of no danger, Webb prompt
ly consented to take the risk.
At 4 80 O'Clock on the afternoon
of July 4th, the excursionists from
Spokane saw the big barrel start
sliding slowly down the big chute.
Rapidly gaining tremendous speed
it still chung to the chute until about
two-thirds Of the way down-then
struck projection, bounded high
in the air and shot crashing down
onto the rocks below. The Mortified
attendants rushed forward and ten
derby drew from the fatal barrel the
limp and helpless body of Captain
Webb-still alive, but with his back
broken by the terrible fall.
For eight weeks he has fought for
life at the hospital, never complain
ing, never giving up the determine
ton to live and grow strong again
Everything was done that medical
science could do, but it was of little
use. Gradually his strength failed
until. just fifty-six days after the
accident, be gave up the fight.
