others of this western country who have
recently rode on it, as being without any
question the finest tram in the world,
and no extra charge is made for any class
of passengers for its superior accommo-

Injured in the Woods.

Last Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. E. E.
Bryant went to the timber up John
ston's gulch to pick berries. The dis
lance to the huckleberry ground from
her house does not exceed a half mile
and it is not unusual for the ladies of
camp to stroll off in that direction,
sometimes remaining out all day. Mrs.
Bryant's plan upon this occasion was to
return soon to her home, and she went
unattended. About four o'clock she
had started home when by accident she
fell and wrenched her back so violently
that she was unconscious until about
nightfall. A drenchlng rain with heavy
lightning and thunder followed shortly
upon this accident. but Mrs. Bryant lay
through it, without any knowledge of
the warning elements.
Her husband being uneasy because of
her long absence set out early in the ev-
ening with a small search party of
neighbors, but later returned with no
word of the missing woman. The news
spread throughout the town with alarm
ing rapidity, and before ten o'clock at
least fifty men with lanterns were scour-
ing the hills south of town in a cour-
ageous effort to learn what had befallen
| the absent one. 1t was unanimously be-
lieved that she was not lost for she
knows the country too well for that
but that she was injured or perhaps
dead was the general fear. The search
continued until after 1 a. M, when the
sound of dynamite and the ascent of
rockets at town announced to the
searcheIs that she was found. The
night was cold and wet, and the lady's
physical condition was much reduced by
the exposure. She was found near the
shaft of the Boga del Dragon by a party
consisting of Chas. Braman, Isaac May
er, VIM. Giffels, Geo. Patingale, Charles
johnson, G. P. Mills and Others. She
was brought to town and medical aid
soon revived her depressed spirits and a
warm fire brought back the vigor OF
life which had undergone such a severe
strain.
Two or three times the eager searchers
had passed very neal her but she had not
the strength to call to them. A whole
some expression of general joy pervaded
the community at the knowledge thai
Mrs. Bryant was still alive. She is still
qnite weak, but is gaining rapidly.

r. M. Calkins of Helena, travelling
salesman for Bach, Cory & Co.. tried sui
eide last week, for the second time, and
was successful, via the s%trychnine route.
Mr.. Calkins was a gentleman of culture,
courteous and obliging to every one. He
had an excellent home and a lovely fam
lily. But for the past three or four
months he has been sober, sad and, at
times, nutty, and the spirit of melan-
cholia, which is only imaginary woe, fin
ally overcame him.
Mrs. d. O'Donovan has just received a
letter fro m Mrs Will T. Fields, now OF
Chicago, whom she had thought dead for
the past two years. Many of our readers
knew w. T. Fields, ex-senator of Park
county, an able young man, once a right
bower to W. A. Clark in the Legislature.
The story went round the press that
Sen. Fields had died in Mexico and thai
his wife had survived him but a short
time. Mrs. Fields who is still alive and
residing at 4434, st. Lawrence ave., Chi.
cago, writes to know if Mrs. O'Donovan
is going to Klondyke, and wants to or
ganize a women's colony to venture into
that country. There is nerve and cour-
age for you, worthy the emulation of the
bravest.
