MUzz,LE IN MOUTH.
Horrible Method Of Suicide Chosen by
a North Dakota Volunteer
Soldier.
James Snodgrass Places Shot Cur
Muzzle in His Mouth and Pulls
the Trigger.

Wahpeton, July Thames Snod-
grass, a member of the First North Da-
kota volunteers, committed suicide in
a most horrible name near Wahpe-
ton Wednesday. He was employed
on the farm of william Leathart, eight
miles south of the town, and about 8
o'clock he went into the house and
asking a little boy for a shot gun went
to the granary in the rear of the house
and placing the muzzle of the gun
against his face discharged the weap--
on, blowing off the entire right side Of
his head and face. The lifeless and
mangled body was found a short time
afterward and removed to she house
and later to the undertaking parlors
in Wahpeton for burial.
S%nodgress was a member of Com
pany l of the volunteers and served
throughout the campaign in the Phil
ippines. He was a faithful and eff
cient soldier and was we'll liked by
Captain Purdon and other officers of
the company and his fellow soldiers.
For some time past it is said he has
been downhearted and at times his
queer actions have excited the COM
ment of his friends. He vas EN-
ployed this season by Mr.. Leathart on
the farm and was a faithful and hard
worker.
During the day he seemed in un-
usually good spirits and was cheerful
about his work, going and coming with
a smile or a hearty word for every one
After he had finished up his morning
work and had eaten his breakfast he
went out around the farm for a short
time and then returned to the house
and asked MI. Leatharrs little boy fol-
the use of his fathers gun saying he
was going to shoot a dog with it. He
walked from the house to the granary
and entered. He then took a hand
kerchief from his pocket and tore il
in two and taking a piece of cloth tied
it to the trigger of the gun. He ther
made a loop in the other end of the
cloth wherein 10 place his great toe
and then cooking the gun placed the
muzzle in his mouth and pulled the
trigger in his foot. The entire side o.
his face and a portion of the skull was
blown away and death must have beer
instantaneous.
The firing of the gun created 10 sur
prise because of his announcement thai
he was going to shoot a dog, the ami
NAL having been bothering the chick
ems about the place for some time. L
was only the curiosity Of the little boy
to e if the dog had been hit that LEI
to the discovery of the deed. Aftel
waiting awhile for the temperance o,
Snodgrass the boy walked out to the
granary to see what had become O.
him. The body was found lying in {
corner of the with a great poo
of blood around it. 1t was firs'
thought that he had accide1tly sho1
himself but an investigation showed
the careful preparations for the deco
and all doubt as to how it was done
was removed.

Rural Mail Delivery.

Rural free mail delivery is the most
striking extension of postal facilities
brought about in the past four years.
On June /. 1900, there were 200
rural services in actual operation and
1000 applications for an extension Of
the system then in process Of establish
ment. The appropriations for the
rural free delivery service have been
increased from $4,000 in the fiscal
year 1878 to $4,000 in 1899.
then to $45o,ooo in 100000, and
lastly to 81 $50 900 for the president
fiscal year. Three years experience
has shown that in we'll selected rural
districts the mails can be distributed to
the domiciles of the addresses or in
boxes placed within a reasonable dis
lance Of the farmers home at some
~crossroad or other convenient spot at a
cost per piece not exceeding the free
delivery in many cities.

The introduction of Turkestan al.

at $1S. 600, 900 year.
Through the bureau of animal in

This has been done through the extir-

ROADS AGREE.
Terminal Rates Accepted By the
Railroads.
Omaha, Milwaukee and Northwestern
Said to Have Submitted
Schedule.

The st. Paul Dispatch in it's report
of the conference between the railroad
commission and several of the road
yesterday, says:
To-day there was another conference
between the officials of the Milwaukee
the Northwestern and the Omaha roads
and the railroad and warehouse COM
mission relative to the proposed rate
schedule
"The commissioners are getting
more and more secretive as the nego-
tations progress and the usual pre-
cautions were taken to prevent any
facts concerning the conference from
getting out.
Chairman Ringdahl was not pre-
sent and his absence was not explained.
Commissioners Knox and Becker were
present. The representatives of the
railroads present were Vice President
A. G. Bird, of the Milwaukee; Gen
eral Counsel Bowers, of the North
western, and Vice President Clarke,
of the Omaha.
cat the conclusion of the session
Commissioner Knox chilled the sur
rounding atmosphere and would not
permit and inquiry, no matter how
trivial to thaw him out. He would
not even tell whether the conference
had adjourned or merely taken re-
cess. He was simply like the man
with his tongue cut out-he was 'un-
able to say
Last week, it will be remembered,
Chairman Ringdal stated that the
three railroads mentioned were inclin-
ed to accept compromise, and that
certain terminal rates were being
checked over before negotiations could
advance further These rates were
laid before the commissioners today. !"
The Minneapolis Times this morning
says:
yesterdays hearing in the mer-
chandise rate case resulted satisfactory
to the railroad commissions and the
roads represented.
''There were present Vice President
Bird of the Milwaukee, General Coun-
sci Bowers of the Northwestern and
Vice President Clarke of the Omaha.
''The railroad officials submitted to
the commission a schedule of terminal
rates which would be satisfactory to
them. They proved to be somewhat
different from the rates proposed by
the commission. Some points were
given lower rate; others higher,
but the general effect was about the
same. The roads agreed to make the
towns indicated by the commission
distributing centers. They are under
stood to have agreed further to act on
a classification proposed by the COM
mission
"The commission will issue an or
der, at the request of the roads, cover
ing the entire matter but emitting
distance rates. Of these the prevailing
rates will apply. The commission is
uncertain as to its course towards the
northern roads. 1t looks for the Great
Western and st. Louis to come into
the agreement on the same terms as
the other southern lines. -
