Bodine Was Determined to Make Away
With Himself.
Missoula, June %. - Wednesdays
Standard contained a paragraph in ref
erence to the Illness of Augustine b.
dine, Wallace miner who was at the
Helena hotel. He was supposed to be
suffering from consumption, but subse-
quent developments have shown that it
was consumption of morphine that he
had taken with suicidal intent that had
carried him so close to deaths door The
failure of his first attempt was followed
by a second trial on his part and this
would have been success had it not
been for the timely interference of Off
Ger McGregor. When Bodine arrived in
Missoula Wednesday he engaged
room at the Helena hotel. He retired
late Monday night and left call for 8
o'clock Tuesday morning. He did not
respond to the call and the clerk found
his door bolted on the inside. A man
was sent through the transom and the
door unlocked. Bodine was found to be
nearly dead, but medical aid was
speedily summoned and he was brought
back to consciousness Later in the day
he started for down town with the re-
mark that he would kill himself sure
this time. Officer McGregor was in
formed of the remark and followed him.
AT a drug store Bodine bought some
morphine, but the officer took 1t away
from him and turned him over to the
care of the members of the K. of P.
lodge, who placed the man in the Sis
ters' hospital, where he will remain I'M
til he gets better sense.

Struck by a Train.

Missoula. June 2S.-A telephone mes
sage to the Standard from Lolo says:
The Bitter Root river below here has
washed out the county road near the
Davis ranch and all wagon traffic has
to be over the road bed of the North
ern Pacific. This afternoon Pat Nc
Carly, while driving up with load
of lumber turned up on the track and
started around the washout. He had
not gone far before he was struck by
a work train that rounded a curve lust
ahead of him. His load was thrown
into the river and both his horses kill
ed McCarty himself escaped without
serious injury

To Build New smelter.

Redding, Cal, June est is stated that
German capitalists intend to soon build
a great smelter in Shasta county During
the last three years George Bayha, local
representative of a German syndicate, has
hled locations on rs copper claims on Still
water creek, about 20 miles from Redding
Extensive development work has been
done on these claims, and the syndicate
has secured options on considerable adj
1acent lands. Electricity generated by
water power will be used for motive pow
eT and for other purposes. There seems
every evidence that the German syndi-
cate will shortly begin the work of build
ing smeiter and a railway line eight
miles in length to connect with the South
ern Pacific. The new smelter will double
the copper output of Shasta county

Is Under Water

Missoula, June 2s,-The Buckhouse
ranch and that of William Boyle, near
the railroad bridge that crosses the Bit
ter Root river just back of Fort Mis-
soula, are entirely under water, caused
from the overflow of the Bitter Root
river. Some parts of these ranches are
under three feet of water and in a
number of places the fences have Ieen
washed out. 1t is feared that the crop
of grain that was put in on this part Of
the ranches will all be washed out.

NATIVE DAUGHTERS.

Copa de Orc Parlor of Hollister, insti-
tuted on the 23d of last month, has ar
ranged to give it's first social function, in
the nature of a calico party, on the night of
the 1st of May. The members, who are
very enthusiastic, have selected an ener-
getic committee that will make the affair
a success.
Buena Vista Parlor at its last held
meeting initiated two candidates and had
a very pleasant meeting. The arrange
ments have been all completed for the
domino party to be given in Native Sons
Hall on the 18th inst.
Las Lomas ParIor had six candidates to
initiate at its last held meeting. The

The action of the recent Grand Lodge In

The colony tract is mostly timber land,
and on the arrival of the pioneers there
early in the winter of 1897 the work of
clearing was commenced. The months
that followed were weary and lonely, and
every one of the little band knew the
meaning of hardship by the time spring
came around.

for cultivation. Some clearing has been
done on the town site and two large
apartment houses have bean built. These
shelter a large number of the people. The
rest live in log houses and tents. The
building of small individual houses has
just begun.
The other buildings are a barn. 42x100,

haul logs to the mill and pull stumps.
There are also wagon-shop, black
