DROPPED IN HIS TRACKS
Death Came Suddenly to George
Cassebohm.
IT WAS HEART DISEASE
Fell Dead in the Street as He Was
Going to Work-The Physician
Reached His Side Too
Late.

Death came to George Cassebohm, a
young man in the employ Of the Con-
tlnental Oil company, with but little
warming yesterday morning. While
walking along West Silver street he
dropped in his tracks. BY the time a
physician could come half block to
his assistance, he was dead
Young Cassebohm was the record
clerk in the office of the Continental
Oil company and lived in South Jack
son street, near the corner of Silver.
Yesterday morning he started to work
a few minutes before O'Clock. He
proceeded east along Silver street, and
as he reached the middle of the block
between Jackson and Washington, he
seemed to reel momentarily as though
overtaken by dizziness. He took but
two or three steps after commencine
to stagger before he fell down on the
ground. A neighbor on the opposite
side of the street supposed he was in
toXicated, but because of his youth
fulness, concluded to go and help him
up. Walking across the street he bent
over the PROSTATE form of the young
man. Blood was ooZing from the nos
trlls and he knew instantly it was not
liquor that was responsible
Dr. ]. N. Alexander. who lives at the
corner of Silver and Jackson streets,
barely half a block away, was hur-
riedly summoned. Without stopping to
dress, for he was not yet up, Dr. Alex
ander ran in his night robe to the
young mans assistance. Hurredly as
he had come, he was too late to render
any aid, the boys heart throbbing but
a couple of times and he was no
more
Coroner Julien was at once notified.
He was informed by DR.. Alexander that
the cause of death was probable hea TT
disease, but he could not be certain,
having reached the young mans side
too late to be able to form positive
judgment. Coroner Julien accordingly
decided to hold an inquest and the body
was removed to Sherman's undertaking
rooms.
Inquiry of Mrs. Dickerson, at whose
house young Cassebohm lived. elected
the information that she had never
heard him complain of any organic
trouble and that he had apparently
been in the best of health up to the
evening before. That evening he came
home from his work and complained
that he was feeling quite bad, though
he could not imagine what was the
matter. This was the only complaint
she had heard him make. He was a
handsome young fellow of fine physique
and about the last person one would
suspect of being troubled with heart
failure.
The deceased was 10 years of age
and a native of Montana, having been
born at Helena, where his mother and

THE ENCAMP MENT ENDED
Nearly All of the Veterans Have
Left for Home.
TOOK IN ALL THE SIGHTS
Helena Selected as the Place for the
Next Encampment-O Officers In
stalled-Delegates Pleased
With Butte.

The G. A. r. encampment of state
delegates and visitors came to close
yesterday and most of the veterans
and their families left for ,hair le-
spective homes in the afternoon ard
last night. The installation of The CT
ficers elected the day before took place
early in the forenoon. and the selection
of Helena as the place of encampment
next year concluded the business.
The afternoon was devoted to sight
seeing, and the visitors observed many
things of interest. The ladies, those
white winged angels of mercy, of the
w. r. c., were escorted over the
scenic, serpentine route of the street
car line to Centerville and other points
and enjoyed the ride. The weather
being perfect, sights were seen To an
advantage. The visitors AL sid that
they had enjoyed the encamp snent very
much.
The remarks of one of the delegates
express the sentiment generally Of the
others. He said:
We have been royalty treated by the
citizens of this city. Butte is, indeed,
a great place and it's people are princes
and princesSes, every one of them. They
all have great regard for the G. A.
r. and they do not hesitate to express
that regard in open declaration. Moth
ing seems to be too good for the Ieo-
pie to lavish upon their visitors. 1rose
of us who stayed in the hotels we're
very cOurteously treated by the clerks
and the management. who never tired
of extending courtesies to US. We we're
treated os if we were presidents Of the
United States. Indeed Butte extended
tn glad hand to the G. A. r. and I'll
never tire of telling about it to my
friends elsewhere
Some of the visitors saw Butte for
the first time, and these especially
We're pleased as well as surprised with
the many agreeable things they saw
and the splendid treatment they re-
ceived.
So pleased were the veterans with the
treatment accorded them by the street
car company that they resolved in open
meeting to thank Manager Wharton, as
follows:

encampment are due to j. r. Wharton,
manager of the Butte Street Railway

CHAMPION FAT MAN.
Henri Maurice Cannon Weighs GIL
Pounds, and Is II Wonder.


Henri Maurice Cannon, the fat man.
Is in Butte and is making a show of
himself. He is sight. Cannon is 40
years old and weighs 613 pounds, is
IVe rect ten and a half inches in
helght, measures So inches around the
waist, y around the chest, 81 around
the thigh and 3s inches around the
calf. AS the man in front of 90 West
Broadway cries from noon till late at
night: He is a wonder, he's a won.-
DER
Cannon requires two chairs to sit on
and sleeps on the floor, because beds
are not made strong enough to hold
MN. The fat man is native of Swift
zerland, and in his younger days was
great athlete, but he doesn't do much
in that line now. The only feat in ath-
letics he now performs is in carrying a.
load of Glib pounds every "a hours in
the day. He claims he can do that
without much inconvenience or bother.
Cannon was brewer in Berlin for a
long time previous to about five years
ago, but he doesn't think beer had any
thing to do with his corpulency He
began to grow fat when he was Is
years of age, at the time he entered the
Swiss army, and three years later,
when he had completed his term, he
tipped the scales. at 220 pounds. From
that time until he was 80 his weight
increased at an average rate of 10
pounds year, and since then he has
acquired at the rate of two pounds a
month. Cannon has never been sick
a day in his life, and he attributes his
corpulency to his good nature He
likes to spring himself as surprise
on local fat mems gatherings, when
he happens to hear of them, and
knocks all other fat men silly when
he puts his 613 pounds in appearance.
At one time he was bit worried about
his increasing weight and he used vari-
Gus anti-fat treatments. but they did
him no good and he decided to let ma
ture take its course. and he claims that
he is now perfectly happy and con-
tented and has no desire to lose flesh.
Cannon is married. and his wife weighs
119 pounds. She looks like a dwarf by
the side Of him and can play hide and
seek with him about his legs.

At the inquest held by Coroner Julien
at Sherman's undertaking rooms, G. w
Ellingwood related the circumstances
of young Cassebohm's DEATH He had
his attention called to the deceased ly-
ing in the street by his young son. He
supposed it was a case of drunk, but
concluded to go and investigate. He
found Cassebohm lying face down on
the ground He then saw the young
man was in dying condition and at
once summoned DR.. Alexander, who
came very quickly, but found it was
too late for his services to be of any
avail. Mr.. Ellingwood observed when
he reached the dying man and turned
MIN over that blood oozed from the
nose or mouth and his ears had turned
purple. DR.. Alexander expressed in the
witness precence opinion that heart DIS
ease was the cause of DEATH
Ray Ellingwood, the 12-year-old son
of the preceding witness, testified to
substantially the same facts as his faith

him unconscious, very pale and breath

very brief time after DIR. Alexander
arrived. 1t was impossible to tell pos
itively what the cause of death was,
but it was his opinion heart disease

100000 damages against Police Captain
w. J. Dawson and Officers John J..
Neville and Edward Everett and Katie
Formel and A. Formel for alleged con-
spiracy and libel. Mrs. James is a
woman who has been repeatedly ar
rested on charges of maintaining a
house of Ill fame, and she claims her
arrests were malicious and without
cause. In her complaint she says that
on June s, 1898, she entered into a con-
tract with Kate Formel, the wife of A.
Formel, for the purchase by Mrs.
James of a. house and lot at No. Ill
West Porphyry street, and she did pur-
chase 1t for $500, paying $3.50 in cash
and giving notes for the balance, and
she got possession on June 16. 1898, and
continued in possession until the 9th
of November, by which time she had
Faid $3.50 on it and had given her notes
for the deferred payments. She alleges

of the property and occupied it as a
residence, Mrs. Formed wanted to get
it back, and to accomplish that pur-

release she went back to the house and
found Mrs. Formel and her husband in
possession, and they refused to allow
her to enter, and with the use of guns
prevented her from doing so.
It is alleged that in arresting the
plaintiff, Officer Neville acted without

conspiracy she says he grabbed her and
pulled her around and abused her in
an inhuman manner. When she ap-

the NJ. T.. Church.

MttTTHB OF tHt BU1!UINE COmhICtee OF
the M. Il. Church.
The building committee of the M. r.

pected that work will begin about the

for a building than had at first been
contemplated.
