WENT DOWN IN A GALE
Grave Fears for the Safety of the
Yacht Paul Jones.
WAS LAST HEARD OF JAN. 3
1t Is Supposed to Have Foundered in
the Gulf of Mexico and Ali on
Board Lost - Carried
Pleasure Party.

Louisville. Jan. 15.-There was every
reason to believe that the naphtha
launch Paul Jones which left Louis
Vile Dec. I with a pleasure party of So
ciety people bound for Pensacola, Fla,
and other ports in southern waters, has
gone down in gale in the gulf of Mexi-
co with all on board The party con-
sisted of Col. Fl. C. Yocum and daugh-
ter, Miss Yocum and G. NJ. Yocum, all
OF st. Louis: Miss Florence Taggart
daughter of Mayor Taggart of Indian
apolis. and Miss Margar:e Woodland of
Chicago. Deckhand John Barry and
Engineer Bagley We're the only two
members of the crew of four known in
Louisville. The last heard of the yacht
was when she left the Mississippi riv ar
Jan. ). 1t was the plan of Colonel Yo-
cum, under whose directions the yacilt
was sailing, to coast along the various
ports between the Mississippi river and
Pensacola, where it was the intention
of the party to make a considerable
stay
According to weather reports received
at the local bureau, the yacht encoun-
tered a storm when three days out.
The relatives of those on board are in a
terribly perturbed state of mind on ac-
count of the lack of information. They
have been telegra phng for reports to
the gulf coast where it is thought the
slightest chance of information could be
obtained. No word Of the craft has
been learned of the craft UP to late
hour tonight. Tugs have been sent out
from number of ports in search of the
yacht,
1t is barely possible that the Paul
Jones put in during the gale at a point
along the coast, where there is no tela-
graph office, hence the lack of tidings.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena. Jan. 15-To-day has been un-

legislators having gone home to spend
Sunday. The Clark people have been
pretty active, hustling about without ac-
compishing anything. The usual rumors
are af1oat that the republicans are about
to switch to Clark, but the republicans
themselves say they are as solid as
rock and will never vote for any demo-
crat. The Clarkites are hoping to gain
another vote or two tomorrow, but it is
believed that Clark has practically
reached the end of his string. No sensa-
tional turn to events is anticipated to-
morrow. All the absent legislators are
returning on to-nght's late trains. Not
Withstanding the uproar that the Helena

DIED FOR WANT
OF DEADLY DRUG
Mrs. Bond Found in Her Room
in First Avenue.
WAS LYING ACROSS HER BED
Unfortunate Woman Was Addicted to
the Morphine Habit-Prostrated
from Lack of the Stimulant-
Remains Taken in Charge

Yesterday morning a white woman room
ing ON the third floor at 2O121a First avenue,
and known to the other occupants of the
building as Mrs. Bond, was found dead in
her room. The body when discovered was
lying with the face downward on the bed
her feet hanging over the side of the bed
and reaching to the floor. Tho position in
dictated that the deceased had been seized
with sudden illness while up, and had died
while trying to get to the bed.
DR. ]. w. Gamble whose Office is in the
same building, was called in to see the wo-
man Friday morning about 10 o'clock and
found her then very sick. He administered
to her and knew nothing more of the mat
ter until told of her death The body is at
the undertaking rooms of the Warner-Smi-
ley company.
Mrs. Bond was about 40 years of age, and
lived alone She earned her own living and
worked at Mrs. Flemings boarding house
at the corner of Eighteenth street and Sec
ond avenues. She has no relatives as far as
known in the city.
In speaking of the matter DIR. Gamble said
that the woman was addicted to the use of
morphine. and when he was called in, that
she was suffering from the lack of her usual
dose. Having no means to obtain the drug,
she was completely Frustrated from not
having the necessary simulants, and 1t is
to this cause that he attributes her death.
Coroner Dallas made a preliminary ex-
animation and made an effort to locate the
woman's relatives, who were supposed to
live in Louisville, Ky. Late last night the
Warner-Smiley company received instruc-
lions from an undertaking establishment
in Louisville to forward the remains to
that city, which will be done today at 1920
o'clock via the Louisville and Nashville
railroad.
