ton Of Senator Allison to recede was
agreed to. 1t was the last remaining
item in the bill in disagreement and all
dangers of an extra session was over.
The senate then receded from the Char
lesion amendment to the St. Louis eX-
position bill which had passed the house
as a separate measure. Senator Vest
of Missouri, though suffering from i'll
health, had remained in the senate all
night to battle for this exposition APP
preparation. He made an appeal to the
senate to pass the <:ll now, saying that
with the utmost kindness toward Char
lesion it was not fair to make st. Louis
suffer because the house would not make
an appropriation for the exposition in
South Carolina.
Senator Tillman, who had made hard
fight for Charleston, made a speech
showing deep feeling. Congress, he said,
had appropriated $11.500O,0QO for EXPOSE
lions and now it was proposed to give
$5.000,000 more. His state, South Caro-
lima, was regarded as an outcast, a dis
Inherited dog.
During the night Mr.. Pettigrew Gre
ated something of a sensation by as
sorting that the bill pass yesterday
for the better protection of railway en-
ployes had been lost or stolen after it
was enrolled and signed by the speak
-er. Mr.. Pettigrew said if it was lost
it. was lost on purpose. 1t was SUBJ
sequently learned that the bili had been
found in drawer of a desk in the
enrolling room and it was brought to
the senate.
The persistence of Senator Butler of
North Carolina was awarded during the
morning by the passage Of a bill an
propriating 100000 for damages done
during the civil war to st. Johns Ma
sonic lodge at Newbern, N. c. He has
been fighting for this bill during the
entire session.
Mr.. Frye, president pro tenn, said he
had received telegram from the lieu
tenant governor of Montana, which he
directed the clerk to read. The lieu
tenant governor stated that as the pre-
siding officer of the joint legislative COM
mittee of Montana he wanted to empha-
tically say that the election Of Hon. w.
A. Clark as senator from Montana was
the elimination of the expressed wish
OF the people of that state and the pro-
tests against Mr.. Clark should not be
needed by the United States senate. Mr..
Clark had been the issue in the cam

TWICE THROUGH HEAD

the physician had not put in an appear
ance and the trip of the wagon was con-
tinued to st. Pauls hospital where the
injured man was placed under the care
of physicians.
An examination by the doctors re-
vealed the fact that Lewis had been shot
twice. The first shot was just below the
right ear but had lodged in the temporal
bone. The second shot entered the right
temple and the bullet passing clear
through the brain lodged in the skull
on the opposite side of the head. The
physicians state that the case is hope
less but if the man is alive tomorrow
morning they will trephine the skull and
extract the bullet.
Lewis evidently intended by his act
to end life of physical suffering which
he endured for three years. He had
roOmed in the apartments of Mrs.
Brooks, corner of Montana and Broad
way, for the past six months. Mrs.
Brooks told a reporter an hour after the
incident that although Lewis was of a
melancholy nature, he never expressed
a desire to end his life in a suicidal man.
ner.
Mrs. Brooks was the most surprised
and the most alarmed when she heard
the shot in No. 1. When she entered,
she found the room in complete order,
but all of Lewis effects were packed in
a satchel.
At the police station his effects We're
searched and it was found that he had
a bank book of the First National bank
which shows that he has $2,990.75 to his
credit. A deposit of 500 was made on
January of this year and on Deem
Der 81 of last year the book shows de-
post of $2,4S0. A card shows that he is
member of the Butte Carpenters and
Joiners union, having been initiated in
the year 1896. While little or nothing
is known of his life. it is believed that
he had trouble with his wife and had
separated from her.
At the hospital between $50 and $40
in cash was taken from the pockets of
the injured man. Northe m Pacific keys
found on his person indicated that he
was employed recently by that company
At late hour this afternoon the police
had been unsuccessful in their efforts
to communicate with Mrs. Lewis.

During the early morning hours gem

many jokes were cracked. stories told,
and some ludicrous parliamentary in

Charles Lewis, q carpenter, attempted
to commit suicide at the noon hour to-
day and his efforts will probably prove
successful as the physicians state that
his case is hopeless.
The attempt was most determined
one as the man first shot himself below
the right ear with a 32-caiibre revolver
but as the bullet lodged in the heavy
temporal bone, he shot himself the sec
Ond time with better success, the bullet
entering the right temple and passing
through the head bulged out the skull
on the opposite side.
Notwithstanding the frightful injury
Lewis laughed and joked with the police
officers who came to his aid. He has a
wife in Basin but a telephone message
to that place was not answered.
Shortly after II o'clock today Mrs. c.
e. Brooks, who conducts the lodging
house at the southeast corner of Broad
way and Montana streets, heard shot
fired in room No. /. She was with her
son, Fred Brooks, at the time and sus-
pecting that some tragedy had occurred
sent the young man to one of the room
ers. A. j. Poser was the roomer APP
preached and he at once sent word to
the police station.
Detective Murphy and Officer Mat
thews answered the call and forcing
open the door to room No. they found
Lewis lying on the floor slowly bleeding
to death. His right hand grasped a 80
calibre American bulldog revolver
and there We're two exploded shells in it.
This was taken possession of by Detec-
tive Murphy who asked the man why he
had shot himself.
1.-TWO men with two black Whiskers
shot me-" said Lewis.
The statement was so palpably lie
that Mr.. Murphy asked him why he did
not tell the truth about the matter
Lewis laughed in silly manner and
said that it was no use in taking him tC
the hospital as he would "shufile or
anyhow. Mr. Murphy bandaged up the
injured head with a towel and sent for
the patrol wagon, giving instructions tn
Jailer Boyle to have a physician in the
Jail. The patrol wagon responded with
out delay and the injured man was
placed in it. When it arrived at the jail
