SUICIDE in BROOKV.LLE.
While Temporarily Insane Peter Jorgen-
son Shoots Himself.
(MOrgan Messenger

Peter JOrgenson, the twenty one
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jens
jorgenson, living just east OF the
Danish church on section 26, Brook
vile township, committed suicide
last Monday evening between the
hours of nine and ten o o'clock. A
shot gun was used, the entire charge
passing through the heart. Death
must have been instantaneous. No
cause can be assigned other than
that the young man must have been
uooer a spell of temporary insanity,
caused by over heating while at
work in the harvest field.
Nothing unusual had been noticed
about him that day except at the
noon hour, when the father thought
that his eyes looked bad. He asked
him if he was sick and received a
negative answer. The father told
him not to work if he did not feel
like it, but the young man went
into the field and helped with the
stacking during the entire after
noon, and at supper time he ate a
hearty meal and was apparently in
good health.
After supper he helped do the
chores and as near as any of the
other members of the family can
tell t was shortly after 9 O'Clock
when he came in from the barn. and
after calling good d-night' to his
mother, Who was down cellar, be
went to his room upstairs. In his
room he took off his shirt and shoes.
The gun that he used is a twelve
guage breech loader, purchased by
the father for him about month
ago. Only one she'll was placed in
the gun. The gun was tied to the
outside corner OF the foot board ol
the bed with a bandana handker-
chief in such manner that by tax
ing hold of the barrels and pulling
the gun toward him the handker-
chief would trip the hammer.
| The report of the shot was heard
by the mother and sister down
stairs, but it was not distinc,
enough for them to locate it The
sister went to the stairway and
called. but received no reply, while
the mother went outdoors and saw
smoke coming out Of the bedroom
window, it being moonlight. She

REDWOOD WINS BOTH.

The Redwood Falls base ball
players won two games on the New
UIm grounds last Sunday, both
games being won from St. Peter,
the attendance being only fair, con
sidering the crowd that was in that
city that day. The two contesting
teams who assisted so materially in
drawing the crowd into New Ulm,
stood the usual hold-up of 20 per
cent. of the gross receipts on part
of the New Ulm management, leav-
ing them so or 40 per cent of 80 per
cent. to divide among themselves.
The first game was played as soon
as the excursion train from Red
wood Falls struck the city Sunday
morning. Spanton and Jones acted
as the battery for Redwood, aud
with rafting support. prevented
the St. Peter team from getting a
single score during the nine inn
ings, winning out by score of 4 to
%. Redwood PLAYED practically an
errorless game, while the base run
ming was fine.
The second game was played in
the afternoon aud Chadderdon aud
'Spanton were the Redwood battery.
1t was won by Redwood by score
of I to l. and would have also been
shut-out had the grounds been in
proper condition. the ball in this
case stricking stone in front of the
pitcher and bounding over his head
after he had made another line for
it.
McBurney. Redwood S old second
baseman, came up from Plainvlew
and assisted the Redwood BOYS,
playing his old position, and all
who saw the game insisted that he
did fine work, as did all the PLAYERS.

TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE.

With good weather the fair will
draw the largest crowd of people to
Lewlstown on Thursday and Friday
that has ever assembled in Fergus
county. II is doubtful whether our
hotel facilities are adequate to accom-
modate the people. If such should
prove true the residents of Lewis
town should open their houses to the
overflow, at least to the extent of af-
fording lodging. II you want people
to come again every effort should be
made to provide them comfortable
quarters. The people of the west are
used to 'roughing it," but when out
for pleasure they don't want too much
Of it. If given shelter over night
they can undoubtedly find enough to
eat during the day. A committee on
entertainment should be appointed by
the management to look after the
wants Of visitors. If all of our PEG.
pie will take a personal interest in
the matter no one will be obliged to
endure hardships and all will return to
their homes full of praise for Lew.

Governor Toole should be ashamed
OF the diabolical part he played in Sc.
curing the proxy Of committeeman
Knowlton OF Silver Bow county. He
received the goods, 1t matters not
who paid the price. The mercenary
Knowlton, after arriving in Helena,
suddenly discovered that he had i'm.
portant business back in Butte and
1t was made an object for him to leave
at once. II is said he did look back
once after he started. AS an accom-
mediation Gov. Toole took his proxy
and as a further accommodation vot-
ed it in the interest of Heinze. AL
together the governor is an accommo.
dating cuss-especially when he has
IN ak to grind in the future. He has
the senatorial itch-he wants Sena-
tor Gibson's seat In the federal SEN
ate and has allied himself with Heinze
for that purpose. Speaking or this
matter the Butte Inter-M Mountain says:
Seator Gibson, more than any Demo-
cratic senator at Washington jealous
ly labored for the passage of the ir-
rigation bill which will add 100. 900
people and many millions of dollars
to Northern Montana. II is a bill
which will increase ten-fold the value
of every acre of ground and every
city lot and business establishment
In that part Of the state. 1t is strange,
therefore. that the committeeman
from that part Of the state should
| give their votes to the faction led by
Senator Gibson's chief rival-Gover-
nor Toole-and virtually repudiate
the junior senator who has worked
so conscientiously on their behalf. II
Senator Gibson has any friends left
in Northern Montana they will be
heard from in the coming state con-
v~ention unless they treacherously sell
out.
