DAVID AND HIS MONEY

so HE TOOK STRYCHNINE

Woman. Who R~sciprocated
While His Money Lasted.

Great Falls, June 23.-David Jones
took ~strychnine last night because his
girl. n Of the fallen women of the
city. refused to love him any more.
Fortunately. or unfortunately. he took
an overdose and still lives to repeat his
folly at will. Six months ago he came
to this city from a sheep ranch, where
he had been leading the blameless life
OF q herder. He had been prudent and
saving. and he brought to the wicked
city all his earnings. some $500 or
more. Then he went on a little tear.
and during that fascinating experience
he managed to tangle himself up with
one Hattie ST. Clair, an inmate of the
house run by Ruth ook According
to all reports she was skillful enough
to tangle her fingers around his good
cash as well as mis- affections. She
encouraged him as long as he had
money, and when II was all gone she
shook him.. He wished her to 60 to the
klondike. where they would subsist on
snowballs and tales of love, but appar-
emily she possessed a hearty appetite
and refused to go. Then he became
Jealous. and learned for the first time
that his place had been usurped by an
other. He procured a gun and mad
a play at the house, for which he was
arrested and fined. At last, In despair,
he started for the Klondike. his first
attempt at suicide. He reached Seat
tie. n there turned back. He will
had a little money. and when he
reached Great Falls he was received
with open arms. 1t lasted as long as
his money did and again he was set
adrift.
This happened a day or two ago,
and yesterday he brooded over his
troubles, until finally he bought a via
OF strychnine n too most of its con-
tents. He was walking past Vance's
stable o midnight when he fell in
a spasm. Officers Grillenberger and
Sheehy were standing on the opposite
corner and they rushed to his aid. DR..
j. II. F. rfeld vas summoned. and
after t. hours of hard work said he
thought he would live. He was taken
to the Columbus hospital. and this
morning Is still alive. In speaking of
his deed he said. II tried to make a
lady out of her n could not, and to-
night I thought the sooner I went to
hell the better"

MARKETS.


Chicago. June Z.-Continued favorable
weather for harvesting exerted a bearish
influence on wheat at the start. During
the first haif hour there was enough short
selling and liquidation to cause the mar
ket to sell on H@Ac from the close last
night. But crop damage reports again be-
came very numerous and the selling soon
came TO a halt, Considerable rain was re-
ported In those sections where harvesting
Is now going on and injury to the grain
was regarded as probable. Chinch Jugs
were said to be numerous In Southern IL
grain has been gathered the yield was said
to be disappointing.
With Armour supposed to be working
to sustain the price of the future to pro-
tect his cash property and the trade al
ready nervous. these reports scared shorts
and there was q disposition to cover. the
demand gradually improving the price.
Some considerable lines were covered and
the bear scalpers were eventually driven
In.
During the existence of the buying fe-
yer July sold up to TIC. September to CSC
and December to sskc. The trading was
very light after the first hour but ex-
ceedingly nervous. There was a strong
suspicion of manipulation and a whole
some dread OF the alleged manipulation.
Prices were near the highest point OF the
day at the close. July left on &c higher
and September lost VIC on the day.
After a weak opening corn turned strong
on the rally In wheat and the early de-
cline was more than recovered. July
closed nc better.
Oats were weak early but irmed up
later with the other grains. leaving on

Outside buying started provisions firm.
Toward the latter part of the session
there was moderate packing house selling.

one small nip from the bottle when ! saw
coming my best beloved friend Bill Beae-
ley, who went into the army from the
same town with myself. We had been
chums all our lives. As that bottle re-
posed quietly I'm my pocket l meditated
whether ia OFFER Bill a drink. IL was a
tremendous struggle between selhshness
and friendship. Finally affection for Bill
overcame my impulse to appropriate the
entire bottle, and, drawing IL out. l said:
Bill. here is some good corn Juice: it's
powerful good stun. and maybe a small
drink would do you good emphasizing

as he tilted hat vial, and down his throat
my precious stun began to disappear.
BILL l said. 'whiskey is awful scarce in
these parts but he merely nodded his
head. and the liquid kept getting lower In
the bottle.
b I said, in desperation. I gave
the last $40 ] had in the world for that
whiskey.' I thought that might make
him stop. but 1t didn't. One final guln,
and all was gone. Then he gave a wild
Comanche yell. flung the bottle away. and
