At the summer towns along the coast
there are already evidences of the fall
fitting OF the migratory birds OF the
human family-birds of rich plumage
who annually shed few feathers in
here, which are quickly gathered up and
help to feather local nests. This has
been a good summer for birds, in spite OF
the doleiul predictions at the beginning
OF the season, but some of the native
feather hunters Will tell you it has not
been particularly good year for feat hers.
For some reason the visitors did not
shed their feathers 80 readily as usual.

People driving on the road between
Ellsworth and Franklin Road stop at an
unassuming little building near the east
ern junction OF the old road over McFar-
lands hill and the new road around the
hill, for a drink of Ishka spring water.
The value OF lshka spring water is not
newly discovered. Thirsty equines dis
covered it airs ago, and when within
mile OF the watering trough supplied
from the spring, prlcked up their ears
and sprinted for drink, after which Nc
Farland's hill lost its terrors, and long
road was made short. Some time ago
company was formed to put the Ishka
spring water on he market, but not un-
til this year was any decisive move made
in that direction. This year he spring
was cleaned and neatly stoned up, and
the house WAS built over it. Here the
bottiiug of the waters has begun in a
modest way, but it is destined to grow.
1t is not claimed for the Isaka water that
it has any pronounced mineral proper
ties, but 1t is claimed that 1t has medic
inal virtues as pure water. Next year, it
is said, the company controlling the spring
will build few cottages in the vicinity,
which it is hoped will form the nucleus
OF large summer colony.

OF AN UNS0UND MIND.
Coroner's Jury Investigates the Suicide
of Jacob Bruesch.

of Jacob Bruesch.
The suicide of Jacob Bruesch. who killed
himself by cutting his throat will a razor
at his home I'm North Washington street
Monday. was investigated by the coro-
ners fury last evening at an inquest held
at Richards undertaking ests blishment at
3 o'clock. The evidence showed conclu-
sively that Bruesch was of unsound mind
and that he had killed himself premedi-
tatedly and a verdict was rendered by the
~coroner's jury accordingly.
Henry Gayer was the first witness. He
said he saw Bruesch al his (Gayer'sD
house at 30 North Idaho street on Sunday
last. He was feeling badly and said IL he
had some morphine he would kill himself.
The witness had heard him make a sim
liar remark on several occasions. Witness
had known the deceased well and knew
he had never been we'll since tsking the
Kelley cure some years ago. Witness had
visited the house of deceased soon after
his suicide was reported and saw him ly-
ing on the floor with his throat cut. A ra-
zor with blood on ii lay by his side on the
floor.
II. NJ. Bibb. a painter, who occupied a
room i'm BruesCh's house, told of Bruesch
going TO California for his health and re-
turning TO Butte a few weeks ago. Since
his return witness had not lived with
Bruesch steadily. He had stayed at the
house Friday night and had not seen the
deceased alive since Saturday night. Wit
ness heard Bruesch remark that IL he
had a gun he would kill himself. The witt
ness said that the last time he was at
Bruesch's house he had built = fire in
the morning TO make some coffee, and
while doing so Bruesch wrote a note in
German. Then he asked the witness TO
go down town and get some rolls. Witness
started, but on the way IL occurred TO
him that Bruesch probably intended TO
kill himself. and he went back. but he had
evidently changed his mind. The witness
went to the house again Monday and on
going in found Bruesch dead. III went
back down town and told Herman Mueller
what had happened and they went to the
house. Later they called the coroner. The
witness did not know whether the de-
ceased was accustomed to carrying con-
siderable sums of money. but he knew
he had SIS In his pockets when the house
and his clothes were searched.
Herman Mueller. a saloon keeper In
West Broadway. had known Bruesch II
years. Latterly ne had not been well and
his mind showed evidence OF giving way.
/ The witness had heard Bruesch say II he
were not ashamed to do so he would kill
himself. A note in the handwriting Of
/ the deceased. which the witness Bib had
| found. was shown TO the witness. who
was asked TO translate IL from the Ger
man. II merely said his watch was at a
/ certain place 10 be repaired. The witness
further stated hat Bibb came and told
him Bruesch had killed himself about
1870 Monday. They went TO the house
and found Bruesch lying on the floor
dead: his throat was cut and there was
a cash in his left wrist. A razor laid

CHAP MAN INSANE.
He Was Ordered Committed After AN
Examination

William Chapman, a cook from Ana
conda who has been in the county jail
for several weeks on the charge of
stealing a bicycle, was examined as TO
his sanity by Doctors MacNevin and
Mcdonald last evening in Judge Lind
says court and was ordered committed
to the asylum. Chapman's insanity is
of a peculiar type, but 1t seems to run
in his family. as there was evidence al
the examination that both his father
and mother committed suicide, the for
mer by opening a vein in his wrist and
the latter by taking laudanum.
Chapman has been married about W
years, and his young wife testified that
she first noticed something wrong with
him two weeks ago last Monday. With
out any explanation he left his home in
Anaconda and came to Butte. and the
next she heard of him was in jail on
the charge of stealing a bicycle. She
came up to see him and he told her that
he was held only as a witness and
would come out all right.
County Physician Sheersn and anoth-
er witness testified as to the freakish
actions of Chapman just before and
made the greatest discovery OF the age
and that as soon as he got the thing
perfected and patented II would make
him famous and immensely wealthy
and do away with the business Of the
divorce court. He also had a great
scheme for making the anti-gambling
law effective in Butte. His scheme was
to break the games. win all the money.
keep them broke and force them out Of
business. All he needed was money
with which to carry the scheme into
effect, and he had a plan to raise mon
ey, too. and tried to work II. He pur-
posed to go around to all the bicycle
shops in the city. rent one vince from
each and pawn IL. He was doing tina
when arrested.
The doctors questioned Chapman as
to his great and mysterious discovery.
He Dol a seat in front of their table
and leaned over and whispered TO them:
1T will revolutionize the world" he
said. 1T il something the doctors have
always been after. 1t came TO me all in
one night. but Ii came more fully the
last three weeks. IL is the real thing
l came 10 Butte to work IL out and II
became so plain that i rushed back 20
Anaconda TO try IL. I was so excited
over IL that ] took the ore train because
/ could not wait for the regular pas
senger. o see"
Chapman then went into a whispered
detailed explanation of his great dis
covery. My working days will be
over as o as I get this thing worked
out" he said in conclusion.
Chapman Is a young man about q
years Of age He has a brother and
sister living somewhere in Michigan.

There were no evidences Of a struggle in
the room and witness was satisfied that
Bruesch had killed himself. Witness said
that while he was at the house a neighbor
came in and said Bruesch had told him
that n anything happened to him to tele-
graph Abraham Buol at Hamilton. Wit
ness did not know the name Of the neigh
Dor. He had telesraphed Buol three times
but had received no reply. Buol Is the
man supposed to have Bruesch's watch i'm
