HF sLAsHED HIS THROAT.
Spokane Man Jumped From the
Train Coming From st. Paul.

uIolona Mont. Nov lS-When No. l.,

Northern Pacific. rolled into Helena yes
to-day. one of the passengers VINO was

missing. After the train passed East
Helena. and was approaching the city
the norter of the colOnist sleeper, as Is
customary at the end of passenger run
went through the car to check up the
messengers. Instead of finding George
/. Low in a berth asleep he found lndlca-
tions of an attempted suicide with raz-
or. There Law the razor and there were
evidences that the keen cutting instru-
ment had been used in attempts at blood
letting. There was blood on the clothing
of the berth, and the razor bore evidences
of having been used for other purposes
than intended
The conductor of the train was notified
and he soon ascertained that the missing
passenger was man; that his name was
George l.. 10y, and that he was destined
for Spokane. having boarded the train at
st, Paul,
About noon a message was received
from Belgrade announcing that 10y had
been found and had been sent to Boze-
man for medical treatment, as he was
considerably bruised about the head,
either from razor cuts or from the head
LONG plunge from the moving train, and
was acting very queerly mentally 1t Is
supposed that he became insane ON the
train and as outlined above endeayored
to kill himself at first by using a razor,
and then by jumping from the train
Mr. 10y has been prominent contrac-
tor in Spokane for several years, He has
a home in Lidgerwood Park, where his
wife and family now reside For several
past his actions have been so
strange as to lead those who knew him
to the belief that he was losing his mind.

TO CONTEST JAMES G. FAIRS WILL
Charles Fair Enters Into an Agree
ment with His sisters.

san Francisco. Nov. 10 Charles l.,
Fair has filed a contest to the will of the
late James c. Fair, known as the trust
will, and dated September 2l. lie makes
the contest independently, in accordance
with an alleged agreement made with his
sisters Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and Miss
Virginia Fairly the terms Of which
agreement Charles Fair was and is pro
tected from the loss which the trust will
threatened for any heir who should in
augurate a contest.
The petitioner recites the fact that eN-
Senator Fair died December %, 1894, leav-
ING an estate valued at over Sl0.00O,O0O,
and then goes on to say that his father
at the time of the making of the will was
mentally weak and incompetent and cas-
lily influenced by designing persons.
The petitioner charges also that the
will was executed under fraud and mis-
representation, and that designing per
sons told Senator Fair falsehoods about
himself and sisters.

A FlREMAN'S HORRIBLE DEATH.
Throws Himself Into the Firebox OF
Locomotive.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. l6.-Joe Will
Jams, a fireman employed by the Northern
Pacific, while temporarily insane, threw
his body head foremost into the tirebOX
of the locomotive he had been firing,
meeting almost instant death. Particu-
lars of this horrible suicide, which took
place about seven miles west of Mandan,
N. D., Saturday morning, have just reach
ed this city.
The train had Just come to a portion of
the track that was being repaired, and as
the roadbed was in bad condition the en-
gineer had slackened speed so the train
was moving slowly. The engineer had his
eyes on the track ahead, and was pay
ing no attention to the actions of the
fireman. As the bad stretch was passed
the engineers attention was attracted by
a slight noise, as of a gasp. Looking to
the fireman's post Il horrible sight met
his eyes. The body of Williams lay part
~ within the opening of the frebOX, while
his clothes were all ablaze and a sickening
odor of burned flesh filled the air. The
train was stopped at once and the engi-
neer pulled the lifelcss body of Williams
from its position. His head, breast and
forearms had been burned to a crisp.

FOREIGN GRAIN CROP NEWS
midas PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.
Russia Has Poor Year, but Has
Exported HeaviIy-ShOrtnge in
Austria, Turkey, Germany and the
United Kingdom.


Washington, Nov lS.-The agricultural
department has issued its monthly review
of the foreign crop situation. Much at
tention is devoted to the grain crop of
Russia, especially wheat, on account of
its magnitude as factor in the European
supply. The review says that all ac-
counts agree in representing the wheat
crop as deficient but as to what extent
crop as deficient, but as to the extent of
the deficiency, much difference of opinion
exists. After quoting many dispatches
painting the crop situation in various
provinces in black colors. and the state
ment of our consul at Odessa that this
years crop has proved a failure the re-
view calls attention to the fact that since
harvest Russia has exported grain free
ly."
"The exports of wheat from August !
to October %, says the review, amount
ed to 4, l52,S40 quarters, against 1855 40
quarters, and 3,383,780 quarters during
the corresponding period in 1896 and 1895
respectively. These large exports have led
commercial papers to withhold their ere
dence from the more pessimistic of the
reports which have been published. That
the crop was deficient has been admitted.
but that the failure has been so serious
as implied, some dealers of western Eu-
rope do not believe. Stocks in the ports
are not increasing in the manner usual
for this time of year, and the opinion is
freely expressed that after this month
Russia can be relied on for only moderate
shipments.
1T is generally understood that Russia
had large stocks of wheat left over from
the crops of the preceding year, and this
fact, coupled with the good prices which
have prevailed, may account for the large
exports which have taken place, even
though the crop failure in large parts
Of Russia has been extremely serious"
The review says the estimates of the
Russian crop are so uncertain that their
reproduction would be of doubtful utility.
In France.
The preliminary official figures for
France show reduction of 26 per cent
average for 10 years As for five wears
France and Russia produced 26 per cent
of the worlds crop. the review saws a
heavy shortage in both countries wouId
therefore be sufficient in itself to produce
a sensible effect on the worlds supply. in,
dependent of the short crops in Austria
Hungary, the Danubian and Balkan
countries and elsewhere. and the shortness
of the last crop in India. Australia and
Argentina. In Germany, rye. which is
the principal bread grain in that country,
has been officially estimated at per cent
less than last years crop The various
estimates for Austria Hungary are more
or less conflicting. but there is no doubt
as to there being a heavy deficit in the
wheat crop.
England and the Continent.
The crop of wheat of the United Kino.
dom is estimated at fifty and two.thirds
