st. Paul house Friday evening and took a
desc of morphine which ended his exist

st. Paul house for some time, and early
last week told some of his fellow board

would some day take a dose that would
land him In the hereafter. They regard
ed his talk as mere bosh, but Wagner
evidently meant what he said, for on
Friday he went to Fred SCOTS drug store
and asked the clerk for ten grains Of NOR
phine. He told the clerk that he was
going to work on the drive and wanted
the morphine because he was subject to
cramps and pains when he had occasion
to work in cold water. He went into his
room about 9 o'clock, and yesterday
morning the clerk at the hotel went to his
room to call him. He didn't respond and
the clerk entered the room. Wagner
was lying on the bed attired in his best
clothes and seemed to be enjoying a
sound sleep. The clerk shook him and
then discovered that he was dead. A

While fishing last Sunday near the

huge brown bear. Luckily they were
armed, and soon halted bruin in his
fierce charge by some well-directed
shots. After a long chase through
dense underbrush and among pitfalls

They had been camping and fishing for
three days near the Geysers. Last
Sunday they pushed IN up toward the
