ONE OF THE PASSENGERS DIES
OF HEART DISEASE.
BUTTE GAMBLER FELL DEAD
His Identity Established by Contents
Of His Grip-contained Faro
Layout and Other Articles. q.

Lewistown, May 5.-James Feehan,
9 gambler, believed to be from Butte,
dropped dead at Ubet, as he left the
stage coming from Harlowton to
Le%wistown, on which he had been a
passenger. He is believed to have
been a user of morphine to excess,
and his condition was aggravated by
a shock and exposure consequent
upon an accident to the stage horses
The six-horse coach had a big load
of passengers. 1t was rolling along
on time at 10 o'clock, when it started
down the hill about a mile this side
Of Ubet. Part way down the hill the
near leader stumbled and fell. The
swing team piled on top of the fallen
leader and the coach, impelled by it's
own momentum, piled on top Of the
thorses, the struggling leaders being
buried beneath the heavily laden
coach. One of the leaders had his
hind leg through n of the wheels,
his fore leg through another. 1t was
a frightful mix-up. All the passen-
gers in the crowded coach were CIV
en- a severe shaking up, though none
was severely injured.
James Feehan was. riding on the
front board. AS the mix-up came he
was thrown from his elevated seal to
the roadside, alighting on his hands
and knees. The drivers and passen-
gers soon e%xtricated themselves from
the wreck and gave their attention to
the horses. Three of the horses were
cut loose and placed in charge of a
others were seeking to extricate the
other horses the three first liberated
became frightened, broke away and
started on a run across the prairie
After some delay and much labor the
three others were freed. They we're
hitched to- the heavy coach, the pas
sengers, including Feehan, got aboard
and the driver started for Garneill,
three miles away. Arriving there the
passengers alighted.
Feehan was apparently all right I'M
til he stepped from the stage. He
started to walk around in front of
the team towards the store, when he
was seen to stagger. He took a few
hasty steps and fell unconscious. Pas
sengers from the stage rushed toward
him and picked him up and carried
him into the store. Examination show
ed that he was dead.
To establish his identity, his valise
vas opened, and in were found a full.
bottle Of morphine, one partly empty,
a faro layout, several packs of cards
and other things to indicate that he
was a gambler.
Among the passengers on the stage
A. A. Campbell of Helena, Jacob
Pincus of Butte. H. Gleason Of Hell
ena and M. L. Poland Of Gilt Edge.
Mr.. Pincus stated he had frequently
seer Feehan in Butte around gam
bling houses.
Coroner David, at Tibet. was notif-
ed Of the death Of Feehan. and will
hold an inquest at Garneill, to which
place the body has been removed.

Mr.. Quigley is a native of Ireland.
Some fifty years ago he landed in New

boasts or promises have place in his
campaign for the public favor He
stands upon his record alone and has
reason to believe that the voters of
both parties will recognize these. by
giving him a sweeping majority at the
coming election.
AS member of the city council he
always stood for the loftiest princi-
pies in city government and zealously
guarded the intrests of the public in all
affairs of public import. For three
terms he served as county auditor, the
position to which he now aspires, or
rather which his friends have, urged
him to accept.
For County Attorney, T. r. Kane.
Thomas R. Kane. the present county
attorney, has proved an official of such
capacity and efficiency that the4Voters
of both parties who recognize faithful
public service are expected to turn out
and cast their ballots for him almost
unanimously. Elected by the Demo-
scrats, he has shown himselfsa man of
such able characteristics and general
worth as a public servant that when
he sought the nomination of his par
ty at the primaries there was no oppo-
Sition to him.
During his administration of the

and his works for the public veal are
too well known to the citizens of st.

true and tried representative of the
people of Ramsey county in the courts

Michael r. Prendergast, Democratic
candidate for the Office of register of
deeds, is one of the oldest and most
public spirited citizens of st. Paul.
Starting in life as printer he laid
down his stick and forsook the case
to join the ranks of the brave Mime
sofa boys who distinguished them
selves so eminently in the Civil war.
After serving with distinction all
through the rebellion Mr.. Prendergast
once more began to follow his craft
where he had left off to don the blue of
Uncle Sam.
So faithfully did he apply himself to
his calling that he soon became a pub
Usher and for several years operated
two Minnesota country papers. Hav-
ing been closely in touch with public
affairs in his vocation as a newspaper

criminal and civil law that only prac-
teal experience can produce.

admitted to the bar in 1880, at the age

Northern railroad extensions in Mon

Mr.. Qufgley enjoys a unique political
reputation He is a Democrat; the life
long variety and he is as loyal to his
political friends as to his personal or
business associates. He has never be-
fore sought public Office, but he has
always given unstintedly of his time
and money for the advancement of
the party, and no personal sacrifice
has been too great for him, when the
interests Of the Democratic candidate
were at stake.
His business as railroad contractor
has called him away from ST. Paul
during the months in which the cleo,
lions are held, but he has never let
business stand in the way of record
