Ceara is as big as Ohio, but it has only
one-fourth as many people. 1t is situated
200 miles south Of the equator, just below
the Anlazonian forests and at the begin

WAS DUE TO ALCOHOLISM
Investigation Into the Death of
John Sexton.
FIVE DRINKS OF WHISKEY
Were Poured Into Him and He Wanted
More-The Body Was Rigid in
Death When Found by
the Barkeeper.

Coroner Julien held an inquest at
Duggan's undertaking rooms last even
ing to investigate the sudden death of
John Sexton, who was found dead in a
card room of a North Wyoming street
saloon at an early hour yesterday
morning. The evidence adduced
showed death to have been due to
alcoholism, and the jury returned a
verdict to that effect.
P. T. Ryan, proprietor of the saloon
where Sexton died, said he and Sexton
had been schoolmates in boyhood. Mon
day about noon witness said Sexton
was at his saloon. He drank five big
drinks of whiskey and wanted more,
but witness could not give it to him.
He did later give him glass of beer.
He was apparently very drunk and
was about to fall when the witness
caught him. Witness started to assist
Sexton into a rear room, and on the
way Sexton fell. Witness fell on top of
him, but did not think he could have
injured him. Witness finally got him
into the room and did not see him again
till he was found dead. No one entered
the room as far as witness knew, eX-
cept jerry Sexton, brother of the de-
ceased and who opened the door once
to look in. and seeing his brother lying
still. left him there. The body was rigid
when found, indicating death had en-
sued some hours prior to the finding
of the body. Witness thought Sexton
was sober when he first saw him Mon
day morning, and witness only knew
of his taking the six drinks at his sa-
loon. Deceased had always been quit
a heavy drinker

even to this remark, thinking that he
had said it in a casual way, as any
other person might do under similar
circumstances.
Fred Shannon of Bozeman, brother of
deceased, testified that James was an
expert chemist and was certainly
aware of the effects produced by bromia
of choral, a preparation he under
stood he had used to allay nervousness
produced by drink. Ee was confident
that his brother did not take the drug
with suicidal intent. He believed that
he took an overdose. He had never
noted anything in his correspondence
to indicate that his brother had con-
templated suicide. No walls or any
labeled packet could be found in any
of his effects to show that poison had
been among them.
1t appears that Shannon went into
the bath room, wrote on an envelope,
Mother, l am sorry, dear, but good
bye-Art,' left it there, swallowed a
potion and went to Miss Campbelfs
room and died. The jury returned
verdict that he came to his death from
the effects of poison, the character OF
which it was unable to state, and that
the drug was taken with suicidal in

1T WAS A FORGERY.
S. Fl. Morse Will Be Prosecuted for His
Clever Penmanship.

S. H. Morse, or l.. G. Livingston, the al
legged forger, is to be prosecuted here.
Yesterday the check he passed on the
Montana Iron works arrived back, hav-
ing been returned to the local firm by the
First National bank of Denver. Along
with it came a letter stating the check
was a forgery and was only one of sew
eral of the same kind the bank had re-
ceived. The check was turned over to
County Attorney Connolly by Bookkeeper
j. j. Egan of the iron works and Mr..
Connolly at once decided to hold the skill
full penman here and prosecute him for
forgery.
The check is a most skillful piece Of
work 1t is drawn on the First National
bank of Denver in. favor of l.. G. Liv-
ingston for $50, the figures punched and

The paper is so well done that it would

county authorities and Deputy Sheriff
Lake will return to Salt Lake without his

FRED WH|TES|DE'S REPLY
To the Answer in the Miner
Libel Suit.
IMPLICATION OF TRUSTEES
Should Have Used Due Diligence in the
Supervision OF the Affairs OF the
Company-Distrlct Court
Matters.

Fred Whiteside, plaintiff in the $780,
900 damage suit against the Miner Pub.
fishing company and others, yesterday
made his replies to the answers of the
Miner, H. c. Sultzer, A. H. Wethey and
Alex Johnston. He denies that some of
the alleged libelous matter published
and complained of did not refer to him,
or that his reputation was not injured,
denies that the publication upon which
the first cause Of action was based was
true or justfiable, and denies that the
published matter was a correct and true
report of matters which occurred in the
state senate, or that 1t was privileged
matter and printed as news
Mr.. Whiteside says it is not true that
the defendants Wethey and Johnston
had nothing to do with determining
what should be or was published in the
Miner, or that the trustees had charge
simply of the business management of
the company, and denies that any edi-
tor had full and complete charge of the
publication of the paper or could or
did determine without consultation
with the trustees what should be pub
lished. 1t is also alleged that if the
trustees had exercised due diligence
and supervision over the company's
business as they should have done they
would have been informed that the ar
ticles complained of, or others equally
libelous, false and malicious, would be
printed and would appear in the paper.

Michael McNamee, deceased. made re-
turn yesterday on the sale of a fourth

A. D. CHRlSTIANSON DEAD.
Was Taken Suddenly Ill and Death Came
Quickly.

Was Taken suddenly Ill and Death Came
Quickly.
The many friends of A. D. Christian
son, station agent of the Great North
ern railroad, will be shocked to learn of
his sudden death at midnight last
night. Saturday Mr.. Christensen, for
all the ills he felt, was as well as he
ever was in his life. During the day
Sunday he complained of feeling a lit
tie i'll, but was about all day, and was
up town in the evening. Late Sun
day night he was taken suddenly very
i'll, complaining that he felt as though
a heavy blow had been dealt him on
the head. He failed rapidly, and dur
ing yesterday sank into a state of
coma. He rallied slightly last evening,
but it was only temporary, and at a
minute past midnight he passed away.
DR.. Moore, who treated the case,
called DR.. McCrimmon in consultation
last evening. They concurred in the
diagnosis, but were unable to do any
thing to prolong the sufferers life. DR..
Moore stated that the cause Of death
was uraemia.
The deceased had been in the railroad
business in Montana many years and
had been station agent here for the
Great Northern five years. He came
here from Boulder. where he held a
similar position. He was 3S years of
age, and was big, robust appearing
man, whom no one would suspect of a
physical weakness. He leaves a young
wife, who was formerly Miss Gal
braith of Boulder, and to whom he was
only married a little over a year ago
The only other relatives are brother,
Irving, at Dennison, Iowa, and sister
at Medicine Bow Crossing, Wyo. The
deceased had a very wide circle OF
friends and acquaintance in Butte, by
whom he was held in highest esteem for
his many sterling qualities.

BOARD OF HEALTH


The board of health had a meeting last
night and considered a proposal of Health
Officer DIR. Alexander to offer reward
for information that will lead to the con-
viction of scavengers who lump refuse
inside the city. Much trouble has been
experienced from scavengers in this re-
spect. and DR.. Alexander came to the con-
clusion that the only method of coping
with the difficulty was to offer an incen-
tive in the shape of a reward to citizens
to report any such cases as come under
their observation. The board decided to
act on the suggestion and will recommend
to the council that the city offer suita-
BILE reward. The board expects to be able
to report at to-nights council meeting the
matter of procuring bids from the va
rious hospitals for treallng emergency
cases, and on numerous complaints that
have been brought to the attention of
the board on unsanitary nuisances main
tained in the city.
