Death Game Suddenly to Her.
cules Tregonnin.
AN INQUEST WAS HELD
The Autopsy Revealed the Fact That
Death Resulted From an EN-
bolism in the Pulmon-
airy Artery.
IN INQUEST WAS HELD

Hercules Tregonnin. we'll known
miner of the city, was found dead in
his bed in room IS at the Mantle block
yesterday morning under circumstances
SO singular that Coroner Julien found
1t necessary to order an autopsy to
establish the cause Of death. Tregon-
min had been ailing only one day and
his trouble was nothing more serious,
as was supposed, than tonsilitis, yet
when his roommate, William Berland,
went to the room about O'Clock yes
terday morning he found his friend ly
ing over the foot of the bed dead
Tregonnin was one of six partners
who are leasing the Ophir mine. The
other partners are John Andrews, John
Mayor, David Daniels, William Ire
wellyn and John Mcleod. Tregonnin
went down to the mine Friday morn
ing, but was not feeling we'll and told
Andrews he thought he had better lay
off for the day. He complained of
having a cold, but did not think there
was anything more serious the matter
with him. i He went into the boiler
room and sat down by the furnace for
a time and then went home.
During the afternoon Tregonnin COM
Palmetto his roommate, Mr.. Berland,
of having a sore throat and the latter
went out and bought some tablets for
him. In the evening the partner, An
drews, Matt Hawkins and Andy Osborn
spent some time at the room. Tregon-
min was cheerful and did not seem to
have anything serious the matter with
him.. and they left him supposing ne
would be- out again yesterday.
Between 8 and 10 O'clock Mr.. Berland
u \. -
Ing considerably worse, and though
Tregonnin opposed 1t, lie went and
called Dr. Bernheim, who could find
nothing more serious in the case than
tonsilitis. He left prescription for
some powders and gargle and went
ton filed and stayed with Tregonnin
till o'clock in the morning. AT that
time Tregonnin told Berland he had
better get another room and go to bed,
as he would not get much sleep in the
room and he himself would be all right.
Mr.. Berland concluded to take the
advice and went to bed. He got UP at
8 o'clock yesterday morning and went
up to the room. He found Tregonnin
lying over the footrail of the bed. He
was astonished when he could get nc
reply to his salutation, and soon saw
that if his roommate was not dead he
was very near it. He hastily called
DR. Bernhein. who responded imme-
diately and on looking at Tregonnin
pronounced him dead. AS DR.. Bern
helm could not account for the death,
he notified Coroner Julien, To thai
official DR.. Bernheim stated that wher
he examined Tregonnin the evening be-
fore he could fini nothing wrong with
his heart, and in fact nothing the mat
ter with HIM except tonsilitis. He said
the man could not have died from this
and he could not conceive what could
have caused death. The only theory
he could form was based upon the evil
dences at hand that Tregonnin had had

Price Was $4,000.

Great Falls, Nov. 1.-THE sale of the
Spotted Horse mine in Maiden, Fergus
county, as detailed in Fridays Stand
ard. has aroused considerable interest
in this vicinity and will have tend
ency to give encouragement to mining
hereabouts. The details of the sale to
Mccormick G. CO. of Salt Lake, as CIV
en-, are substantially correct, except
that there are different stories as re-
CARDS the price, which range all the
way from $4,000 to $4,000. Frank e.
Wright, cashier of the Fergus County
bank, and who made the deal with Nc
Cormick & Co., stated to a Standard
reporter this evening that the figure re-
ceived was $1,000. which places it as one
of the largest mining sales ever made
in this section.

JAPANESE ADVtCES.
Officers viii Go to South Africa-Russia
Is Intriguing.

IS Aptflsu
Port Townsend, Wash, Nov. 11,-Ad-
vices received by the Oriental steam
ship Saint Irene, arriving to-day, indi-
cate that the Japanese government is
taking a great interest in the South
African war. Upon the recommended
ton of the general staff of the Jap
anese army, an officer will be sent to
the scene of hostilities for the purpose
of gaining a practical knowledge of the
strength and tactics of the British
army. This move on the Fart of the
Japanese government, according to the
Kobe Chronicle, is indispensable for the
reason that Japan may be forced to
rely upon the assistance of British
army at some distant date in the set
Element of complications, which have
arisen in the east.
The Russian minister in Seoul has
created considerable stir in the diplo-
matte circles of Japan by making a de-
mand to have the spheres of influence
of the respective powers In Korea de-
fined and has made a proposal to this
effect to the ministers of various pow
ers through Germany's representatives.
Japan opposes the move and it Is
claimed in official circles that Russia
has evolved a plan to counterfeit
Japan's influence in Korea.
An official gazette of Japan announces
that the time allowed for the exchange
of notes issued by the One Hundredth
and Twenty-sixth National bank or
Osaka, the One Hundredth and Eighth
National bank of Sukagawa, the
Twenty sixth National bank of Osaka
and the Thirty-third National bank of
Tokyo expires on Dec. 81, and after that
date the government will not be re-
sponsible for their redemption and
holders of notes will lose their value.

WILL Be PROMOTED.
An Opportunity to Honor Men of the
Regular Army.


Regular Army.
Washington, Nov. lit is under
stood that the president will avail HIM
self of the opportunity offered by exist
ing vacancies in the regular army,
caused by the death of General Henry
and the retirement of General Shafter,
to promote and retire, with the rank of
brigadier general In the regular army,
a few of the remaining colonies Of the
regular establishment who rendered
conspicuous service in the civil war
This would be a revival of events which
led to the retirement in this manner Of
five of those colonies when General
Skaters retirement occurred. Since
that time efforts have been made by
friends of the officers who We're not ad-
vanced at that time to secure some
such recognition for them, and 1t is
believed the president is favorably in
clined. At least he has caused to be sup
ords of the military service Of the Off
GERS deemed eligible for promotion and
retirement.
The list does not include all the col
onels in the service nor those who were
veterans of the civil war. for not all of
these are anxious to be retired, even
in consideration of the advance in rank.
Two of the names that are under con-
sideration are those of Ohio colonies.
namely, Colonel Andrew s. Burt, 25th
infantry, and Colonel Gilbert S. Car
penter of the 18th infantry. both of
whom stand well up on the list and
have records Of the highest excellence.

a vomiting spell, and was that the
man may have, in the commissions of
vomiting, struck his head on the bed
stead and ruptured small blood yes
sci, or that some particle got in his
windpipe and choled him to death.
Owing to the uncertainty as to the
cause of death, Coroner Julien decided
to have an autopsy held, and Dr..
Sheeran was authorized to perform it.
The body was removed to Richards
undertaking rooms and the autopsy
was performed last evening.
The mystery surrounding Tregonnin'
death was no longer mystery after
DR.. Sheeran had completed the au-
topsy. He found and so reported to
Coroner Julien that death was due TO
a fat embolism of the pulmonary art
cry, very unusual cause of death, and,
as far as known, the second that mas
ever been known here.

ment 5000 mill hands, most of whom will
have to get work in the lumber mills
