NO ACTION TAKEN Yet
People Are Talking of Injunction
Proceedings.
WANT TO KNOW REASONS
Why the Aldermen Did Not Let the Hig-
gins Avenue Contract to the Low
est Bidder-They Give Pc
culiar Excuses.

Missoula, Aug. 17.-No further steps
have been taken in the matter of the
proposed injunction against the award
of the Higgins avenue improvements.
The members of the council express no
opinion in the matter further than that
one or two of them say that the con-
tract was not awarded to the lowest
bidder because he was not resident
of Missoula.
The next lowest bidders are residents
of Missoula and their bid was over
looked. The council, in advertising for
bids, reserved, as usual, the right to
reject any and all bids, and there is
no question as to their right in the
matter, but the people who are pro-
posing the injunction proceedings want
to know the reasons for the rejection
of the lowest bid.
P. NJ. Reilly and William Noll, who
were mentioned to-day in connection
with this matter, say that they will
take no action until after the coun-
Gil meeting next Monday night Then
they Will see what the council proposes
to do with the remainder of the bids.
At the rate at which the Improvement
is moving al present it does not look
as if any injunction would be neces-
sary. 1t will be winter before the
council is ready to act. In the mean
time the lakes on the avenue are coat
ed with a thick green scum that is
far greater menace to the public health
than all the ice that is sold in the

A DELINQUENT CORPORAL.
Some of the Boys Wanted to Lynch Their
Commander.

Missoula, Aug. 1.-THE boys of the
light infantry company did not en-
bark for their Bitter Root camping

ton with blankets and rations and
equipment. but Corporal Lundy. who
had the tickets and the cash, was not

hut could not find him. The Copper
City Limited came and went and still
the corporal did not appear Then the
boys came back down town with blood
in their eyes. They were for lynching
their recreant commander, but they
could not find him.
While they We're discussing the mat
ter the corporal came up from a block
on Higgins avenue. where he had been
resting. His knees were timber and he
had some trouble in navigating, but he
walked as quickly as possible up the
street to the poStoffce. He paused
there and looked into the door. Then
he walked to Lindsley's drug store and
looked in. There was no rear exit there
either. and he walked on to Cribs
meat market. He entered there, and
as he entered the boys discovered him.
They went after him with a rush but
he entered the market and the boys
waited.
County Attorney Denny and Chief of
Police Angevine then took hand in
the matter. They brought Lunds out
of the market and the boys took him in
charge. They escorted him to their
armory and had a medicine talk with
him there. They took the tickets away
from him and give him some good adj
vice. Then Lundy disappeared and the
boys have not decided what to do.
Some of them want to go camping TO-
morrow, but nothing is settled.

INSURANCE PROMOTES SUICIDE.
Men in Financial Trouble End Life to
Benefit Their Families.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Missouri decision that the insurance
company must pay the full value of the
policy of Il suicide unless it can show
that self-murder was contemplated at
the time that the policy was taken
out will open up the question as to
whether the insurance of lives encourages
suicide. High otr.cers in various compa-
MES have from time to time argued that
it does not, but statistics would seem TO
point to a different conclusion. In 1879
the suicide rate of insured was l2.7 per
100. 900 while in 1898 it had risen to III
per 100000. Where insurance companies
declare that they will not contest any
suicide claims they may b. putting
premium on sef-deStruction.
Some years ago. when the accident in
surance boom was at its height in Eng
land. commission was appointed to in
vestigate the matter 1t found that in
cases where the premium on the loss of
an eye was greater than for the loss of
a leg the company had more "eye
claims to pay than anything else. Where
the right hand was rated at the highest
figure. more right hands than any other
portion of the body were lost. This mat
ter of self-mutilat!on for an Insurance re-
ward was clearly demonstrated by the
testimony secured by the commission.
1t also brought to light another inter
eSting fact. The greatest number of &C
cident cases We're reported from that
class that is known as the 'Genteel
poor AS the members Of this class FL
low clerical or professional careers ra h
er than mechanical or arduous ones, the
number of accidents among them as com
pared with those who actually follow a
hazardous business was remarkable. 1t
was fairly well demonstra ted that when
they were hard up for few hundred
pounds they would take out an accident
policy for the amount needed and go.
to come home with a crushed leg or
hand. as the case might warrant.
In the matter of suicide the man who is
in financial or other trouble is far more
apt to solve it by ending his life, if his
life insurance will surely be paid - his
heirs. than he would If reasonable doubt
were raised to the legality the
claims of his heirs to such a payment
The insurance companies frequently pay
suicide claims, although they feel moral
ly sure that there was fraud intended
when the policy was taken out. but when
they do this, rather than suffer the odium
that attaches to a disputed claim, they
encourage self-des truction.
