 "Informatton from the great bulk of the counties to act on the 14rn Of April Is that Senator Morgan will secure perrsctly safe majority.
 Though Senator Morgan, by virtue of hie duties In Washington and especially be- cause of the necessity of his presence in the Nicaragua canal fight, has been able to dc but little work on the stump. his friends are vigorously campaigning for him, and the contest Is one of great intensity and bit terness.
 "Ths principal plea put forth by Governor Johnston and his friends to the end of elect tng him over Senator Morgan, Is tkat he has been and Is a 'business' governor. It is also claimed that he has increased the taxes of the powerful and ltgAhtened the burdens on the hundreds of citizens less able to pay.

Packwood, Sept. Guy Cowgirl, a
young man about 20 years old, was
found dead in his bed yesterday morn
ing. He and his father, William CSw-
gill. lived alone on their farm four miles
northeast of Packwood. The father had
returned fron sigourney late in the
evening and saw nothing unusual with
his son. The young man wac in. the
habit of arising first in the morning ard
calling his father, and when he failed to
do so this morning his father attributed
it to fatigue and thought he would not
disturb him. Becoming uneasy about 9
o'clock he went to his room and found
him cold in death, with bullet hole in
his right temple and a revolver clutched
in his right hand. his arm being across
his chest. The deceased was brother
in-law to Guy Gardner. of the firm OF
Gardner & Nelson, of this place. and
was a young man OF high moral charac-
ter and was universally loved and es-
teemed. His death, be II suicide or MUIR
der, is a terrible shock to HE friends.
His mother died several years ago and
his only sister was married to Mr.. Card
5ner last spring. A brother, the only one
he had. was not at home. Mr. Cowgirl
liz almost crazed by the sad affair.
The verdict OF the coroner's inquest
was that he came to his death by his
Own hand. It is thought dependency
caused the deed.
