"A telegram was received here this
morning stating that Glenn Gamble had
committed suicide at Missoula yesterday. !
Gamble is well and favorably known in
the upper Yellowstone country where he
worked as a bartender for John Jervis

two years. His friends believe that he
would be the last man in the world to
take such a rash step. Gamble came
here about a week ago and after SPEND
ing a day. with Harry Elmer he went to
Big Timber and Billings, returning here
W days later. He was looking up a To-
cation to start a saloon and had partly
decided to locate at Cooke City, but was
looking around the state first to try and
find a more suitable location. When
Gamble left here he had twelve hundred
dollars in his pocket with which he was
going to start business with. His friends
are inclined to believe that heF ost his
money in some way, probably by gamb-
ling. and that he took his own life after
becoming. respondent and discouraged
over the loss of his money. Gamble was
a gentlemanly sort of a fellow and dur
ing his residence at Jardine mad many
friends who We're greatly shocked to hear
of his ira gle death.
His parents are said to reside at Chris

in Il bank at Mineral Wells, Texas, Was
notified by wire of the sad occurrence
