DEATH ON rHs TRACK.
The Ghasty Find OF the Cable Ca
Moi -,.au Go . m ~.

The Ghast Find OF the Cable Car
Motornan rnrge Aor
When George Morton, a motorman on
the midnight cable car running from
Butte to Walkerville passed Centerville
early this morning. he noticed a drunk
en- man coming down the hill, joshed
by some of the people who were still up
in the town. The car went on up TO
Walkerville and returned Passing
through Centervil lie il came down to the
bridge at the foot of the hill, when Mo-
torman Morton saw the form of a man
lying across the track. He tried to
stop the car. but was within so feet of
IL before he noticed il, and was una BILE
to stop in time to save striking the
man Before the car stopped the body
was carried along several feet and was
badly crushed and mangled. The man
was quite dead when picked up by Mo-
torman Morton and the conductor. AL
fred Jackson, and messenger boy,
who was the only other occupant of the
car. He seemed about 40 years of age,
with a heavy, thick mustache, dressed
in workingman's clothes. He had on
a round felt hat. No one around there
knew him apparently. He had just 10
cents in his pockets and no letters or
papers by which his identity could be
disclosed.
The body was taken by Coroner Rich
ards down to the undertaking rooms.
1t is likely that ii will be recognized to-
day, but no one who looked at him last
night could identify him. His face was
not disfgured. although the rest of the
body was badly crushed. Mr.. Morton
is confident that he is the same man he
saw on his up trip drunk. He had APP
parently been walking down to the city
and in his drunken condition. fell on
the track and thus met his death.

Harry Day was the winner of the first
place, a prize of $50; Albert Church of
Anaconda won the second place, a
prize of $40. For the first-time prize, a
Viking bicycle, Nagle, Royce and Day
were all tied at 81 minutes and sec
onds. and will probably ride off the tie
at some other time. Fifty-one minutes
and seven seconds for the 17A miles
breaks the record of 81 minutes and 10
seconds made by E. o. Morris. Day
tainted at the finish. but soon revived.
Church was in the best shape at the fin
ish of any of the riders and could easily
have kept up his pace 10 miles more.
1t was a very interesting and success

Peanut Vendors, Lemonade Peddlers and

A disgraceful scene was witnessed at
the cemetery gates yesterday during
the solemn exercises of decora ting the
graves of the dead heroes. A dozen or
more peanut vendors, fruit peddlers
lemonade criers. and various other null
sances crowded the street in front of
the cemetery gates and filled the air
and Disguised the people with their
noises. They gave to the decorating
scenes the appearance of a circus and
desecrated the solemn occasion. No

Chicago General Market.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Tne market for
wheat was unsteady and nervous this
morning, prices declining materially. A
report that September wheat was TO
be delivered freely on contract, caused
holders to turn sellers, as the prospect
of carrying the cash stuff is not very
enticing under present interest rates
for money, the doubt surrounding the
financial affairs since the recent col
lapse in the local stock exchange, and
the reports of banks and pensions of
the past few days.
Receipts at Chicago were It's cars
and 1920 bushels were withdrawn from
store. The northwest receipts, 126 cars
against 223 last Wednesday and IS a
year ago. The failure OF a prominent
firm of coal dealers added to the ap-
prehensive feeding and further selling
was induced, thereby causing another
break in prices.
Wheat opened from 56A 90 5Sas, de-
ciined to 541s, closing at 541lz-1s to 2
under yesterday. Estimated receipts

Billy O'Neil the well known saloon

The sheriff discovered that Billy had
left town on Monday evening stating TO

MY Dear Wife and Children: 1this
is the last letter you Will ever get
from your dear and loving husb''
The above note, written on paper
with the letter head of Chief of Ponce
Davenport thereon, was found yeSter-
day by Detective Pender by the SIDE
OF Louis b. AssIg. who was gasping IN
Commissions. Assig had been con-
fined in one of the uppef rooms OF the
CITY Jail. He had been suspected the
day before by Officer Fender and
traIled much of the night. The detec-
tive had ascertained THAT the man was
passing bogus checks, or trying to,
ana had lett a description of HIM with
the day officers. There were two
other men with him, also under sus-
picion. Officer Sullivan arrested the
man early yesterday morning and took
him to the Jail. The man asked for
writing materials, ana was given them.
He had been alone a hE4f hour or so
when Detective Pender went UP to
talk with him, and found him in con-
vu1slons. The above note showed
that he had tried to commit suicide.
The manner OF the act was ingenious.
Securing a small perfume bOttUe, he
had pounded up a part of the glass
and swallowed a. part of il, cutting his
mouth badly. DR.. Cpnroy was sent
stomach OF the glass. He thinks he
Will recover.
On the mans person were found
worthless checks which he had been
trying to pass. Other papers showed
THAT he had been serving a term in the
penitentiary of Moutegla at Deer Lodge,
but had been pardOaed out on August
5. His offense was malpractice.
Assig told Chief Davenport that he
had been a student at Rush Medical
college in Chicago, and he is evidently
familiar with medicines, having a
book full of prescriptions.
A check was found on his person
dated simply August, and made cut
for Louis w. Logan for $37 and signed
by James Jennings. Another was with
cat gate, made out to the same party,
but had not been signed. This .anter
check was found by Detective Pen0iar
while trailing him. Assig made il ont
in the Arlington saloon and dropped 1T
He had a draft made payable ~ h+ln-
self fer $3.50, made out on the Car'pen-
ter National bank of Leadville and
signed by J. w. Logan.
Mr.. Pender asceTtained that no such
bank exists.
A mining deed made out to James
Glrthridge, e. Stevens, w tricks and
]. G. Pease, representing that Louis
E. AsEtg and Matilda Assig, his wife,
had sold the above parties their one
third undivided interest in the hex
lode, located in Bannock district, Be4-
yer Head county, Mont.
AsSig is a man about As years old
and evidently we'll educated. Detective
Pender, who had the case in hand,
says he wrote other checks and has
perhaps passed them.
