TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
A Railroad Grader Cuts Cash in His Neck
Is Probably Crazy. .

An unsuccessful attempt at suicide
was committed Wednesday by Robert
James, a laborer at the A. L. Babcock
grading camp on the Toluca-C Cody
branch. James, who is a young man,
has beeu feeling poorly of late, com
planning Of pains in his head, and it is
more than likely than examination
will result in his being sent to the in
sane asylum.
He had tried on several occasions to
borrow a revolver from members of
the camp, but each time failed and ON
Wednesday he went to the company
store near the camp and bought a
razor. Returning to the camp he pro.
ceeded to make short work Of his exis-
t6nce, by cutting a big cash in his
neck. Some of the laborers soon noted
his condition and an effort was made
to prevent his bleeding to death by
tying a towel around his neck, and a
messenger was sent to Billings for a
doctor.
j. E. Edwards, Grow Indian agent,
was there shortly after the attempt
made by James to take his life, and
James made a statement to Mr.. Ed
wards, it being feared that the man
would die before q physician would
arrive, that he had tried to kill him.
self. He said that people were follow
ing him and were trying to burn him
alive. James said he had a brother
living in Chicago.
James will probably be brought to
Billings today if in condition to be
moved. and will be examined as to
his sanity.

A TERRIBLE INJURY.
Lavina Man Accidently Shoots Away
One Side OF His Face.

David Pirrie of Lavina, a brother
of Geo. Pirrie, the we'll known stock
man and horseman, met with an acct
dent Wednesday, which will probably
cost him his life. He was riding in a
light wagon near his ranch holding
a shotgun between his knees. In
some manner the gun was accidently
discharged, the shot striking Pirrie in
the face, tearing n side almost COM
rletely away, and blowing out n eye
and ear, besides tearing three fingers
off his hand. A messenger arrived in
Billings late Wednesday night after
medical assistance, and a doctor left
here early yesterday morning. From
the report brought to Billings it is
hardly probable that MI. Pirrie will
survive his terrible injury.

MYSTERIOUS MARRIAGE.
Kenneth S. Meek and Matte Boland of
Wyoming TOin Fortunes.

Mr.. Kenneth S. Meek, said to be a
prominent sheep raiser Of Big Horp
basin, Wyoming, and Miss Matte
Boland, of the same locality, were
united in marriage in this city last
evening by Rev. W. T. custer, Of the
First M. E. church, says Tuesdays
Great Falls Leader. The two are of
English birth and are reported as be-
ing members Of prominent English
families. They left the city this fore
noon via the Great Falls & Canada
railroad for Lethbridge, Canada.
There appears to be some mystery
connected with the marriage of the
two, but as no person in the city made
their acquaintance while they were
here nothing positive is known about
them. The groom is a typical
Enlgishman, about 35 years Of age,
while the bride is not more than 20.
They arrived IN the city last Saturday
and registered at the Great Falls hotel
as coming from Wyoming. What par
t%icular place in Wyoming they hailed
from they failed to designate. The
young lady registered as Miss Boland,
but the gentleman, probably having q
number of names at his disposal, reg
istered as K. st. Clair. Why they
should come all the way from Wyom-
ing to this place to be married is hard
to explain but it is probable they de-
sired to get as far away from home as
possible before tying up and did not
desire to stOn off at Shelby Junction.

FINDS BIG VEIN OF COAL.
David Dickie the Wyoming Sheep Man
Makes Discovery.

A. report comes from Thermopolis,
Wyo., of al important discovery of
coal on Gooseberry creek not far from
that place. David Dickie, a we'll
known sheepman of the. Big Horn
country, owner Of the land on which
the coal was found, has had. samples
of the coal examined by mining men,
and they were surprised to note the
high quality Of the article. 1t is said
to be equal to the famous Pennsyl-
vania blacksmithing coal. The vein

PROM MAKES CHARGES
Says Line Elevators and Wheat
Belt Roads Are in
Collision. ~.u

Washington, Feb. 7-B. Prom of
Milton, N. D., today appeared before
the Industrial commission and gave
some strong testimony tending to
show collision between the line ele-
vators and railroads running in the
wheat belt Of the northwest. He
charges that the railroad companies
refused to supply cars for the move
ment of grain from independent ele-
vators, forcing the farmers to sell their
grain to cline" elevators. He says if
the independent elevators could send
grain directly to market at Mime
apolis and Duluth, from / to 5 cents
more Fer bushel could be realized by
the farmers.
Prom also had a grievance against
the grain inspectors in Minnesota.
He testified that they graded North
Dakota wheat too low, while Mime
sofa wheat was graded too high. He
stated that North Dakota wheat aver
aged a higher grade than the Mime
sofa product and that wheat from his
state was used as filler to bring
Minnesota flour up to the standard.
Prom also charged collision be-
tween Minnesota inspectors and GER
tain purchasers and cited a case of the
rejection of a consignment of flax in
North Dakota. 1t was sent to Mime
apolis and there it was graded as No.
/. AS it had been sold to the jobber
in North Dakota at a lower grade he
was enabled to sell it as No. 1, realiz-
ing a handsome profit at the expense
of the grower.
The witness was asked whether his
statements of collision were simply
his personal opinion, or based on evi
dence. He replied that they were
based on facts. The source of his in
formation he could not divulge, as he
was under pledge not to do SO.

FUNERAL OF MRS. NETTIE JOHNSON.
Was Attended by Large Concourse Of
Sympathising Friends.

Sympathising Friends.
The funeral of Mrs. Nettie Johnson,
wife Of DR.. A. w. johnson Of Butte,
and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. g. o.
Gruwell of Billings, was held at the
Congregational church Wednesday
afternoon, attended by a large con-
course of sympathizing friends and
acquaintance. The floral offerings
we're many and beautiful. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. W. D.
Clark, assisted by the church choir,
which sang several very pretty selec-
tions. Rev. Clark took for his text
"Jesus Wept,'' found in the 18th chap
ter of John and the 18th verse. He
said in part:
'"When we are in sorrow it is a
great relief to our burdened lives to
feel that there is someone who sorrows
with u.s. More than once in the New
Testament we find the sublime spec
tacle of the Son of God in tears. The
tears He shed here were those of SYM
pathy and sorrow. He wept because
other hearts were breaking, but He
also wept because His own was break
ing. The world needs help, but it
needs sympathy more. While Christ
came to Bethany to sympathize with
the Borrowing, He came because He
Himself had lost a friend. None,
perhaps, was loved more by Jesus than
was Lazarus. So I find the Christ
weeping by the grave of a friend. To-
day, as then, He is touched by the
misfortune of men.
"Only wait and trust Him, just a
little while,
After evening tear drops comes the
morning smile.
again, Jesus did not answer their
call to prevent death, but to give life.
We must all pass through the tomb.
He did not seek to prevent the sorrow,
but to give gladness and a sweet sur
prise after the sorrow.
His mission is always to sustain
and comfort in the midst of sadness.
No cloud is so dark or dense, but it is
transparent to the light Of heaven.
Jesus was touched with infirmities,
and was a man of sorrows.
Another thought in the lesson is a
beautiful one to me, and that is, the
tomb cannot hold US. While his mis-
sion to Bethany was to sympathize, it
was also to open the tomb and give
life to its occupant. 1t is a beautiful
lesson in immortality.
"Paul said: Il reckon He had
reckoned up all his troubles. I reckon
that the sufferings Of this present
time are not to be compared with what
I shall find beyond the tomb. Death
is not the beginning of troubles, but
the end of them. 1t is going from
sorrow to joy; from suffering to
health; from trials to freedom.
"The two sisters at Bethany had
many friends, and they gave them all
the help they could, but that was
not enough; they could not give. the
help that Jesus could. 1t was He
they most needed. No truer then than
now. He alone can fill all vacancies,
soothe all SORROWS, dry up all tears.
MAY He who comforted and sus-
tanned at Bethany grant as much help
to him who has lost a true and affec.
tionate wife, and to those who will
mourn for a daughter and beloved, and
many who like the Master will mourn
for a friend.'
At the close of Rev. Clark's remarks
the remains were conveyed to and in
tered in the city cemetery.
