PETERSBURG, VA, Feb. 2O.-Special.
Grace Willard, a young white woman
living on Gladstone street, died this
morning from the effects OF opiates which
she took last night with suicidal intent.
The young woman took a dose of laud-
anum late yesterday afternoon, hoping
it would end her life. She was living and
conscious few hours later, and fearing
that oDiate would not bring death soon
enough she took large dose OF NOR
phine. When it was found out what she
had done physicians were sent for and
worked on the woman all night, using
all the methods known to their science,
hoping to restore her. Their efforts were
of no avail and the patient died at Z
o'clock this morning.
The only reason assigned for her TAX
ing her life is that her sweetheart was
not true to her.
The attachment cases of Daniel Rahily
and others against the T. F. Ryan Con-

was on the verge of death, only heroic
treatment by his physicians prolong-

Monday morning the end came. There
We're present Mrs. DAILY and their foul

Marcus, Jr.: the physicians, DR.. w.
Il. Thompson and DIR. Dillon Brown:
a brother, Patrick DAILY, and the Rev.
Father Layelle. Mr.. DAILY was con-
scious, but tsTo hours previously, when
suffering gre atty, said:
Just a little longer; that is all; q
little longer
The end was SO quiet that none but
the physicians and the clergyman who
knelt at his side knew that it had
come.
He was born in County Cayan, Ire
land, in 1912. He came to this coun-
try when q boy, and after a precarious
living In the East he went West. As
a p~rospector he picked up a knowledge
OF ore. He tramped over the noun
tains of Utah with hunger for a COM
pani0n and the skies for a cover. From
laborer he rose at last to mine boss,
and then, in 1880, at last came before
the eyes of men.
Twenty years ago his ability in
handling men took him to Montana to
exploit the property Of George Hearst,
Lloyd Tevis and T.. B. Haggin. They
had mines nea Butte which needed
developing. DAILY had a slight inter-
est In the property, but it was sufici-
cAt " DIiHS HlH tue managing owner
ship, fortune and fame.
It was DAILY who suggested the pur-
chase of the Anaconda Mine, near
Butte City. believing that it promised
well in gold and silver. The mine was
bought for $35, 000. Before long cop
per veins were struck. To-day the
Anaconda produces one-quarter of all
the copper mined in the world. 1t
employs 10000 men and reduces 1000
tons of ore every day.
OF his long political battle with
Senator William A. Clark, his one
time friend, it is not necessary d
speak at length. DAILY admitted that
he had eason for personal enmity,
but always commended that he fought
for the good of Montana.
DAILY took up racing as a past:.re.
Beside breeding stock on an enormous
scale at the Bitter Root Stud Farm in
Montana, he kept horses in training
both in the East and in California.
During his turf career he won most of
the famous races in the country.
