ed with grief over the death of his only
child, and frantic with rage over the
apparent inhumanity of the law which

Fell Over BdnnlSt6r
Saved By His jag

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 2S.-~Prl-
vate William Campbell, Company 3,
Eighteenth infantry, last night had a
remarkable escape from death in the
hallway of the opera house building.
He was intoxicated and in trying to
reach the balcony pitched headlong
over the railing of the stair and fell
twenty feet to the bloor below. He
landed squarely upon his head, but es~
capped with no more srious injury than
a cash in his scalp which required
eight stitches to close. He was un-
conscious for some time, an dthe ply
sicians say that the fact that he was
intoxicated and his muscles were re-
laxed was all that prevented his neck
from being broken.

Hitten took the knife with which he
had defended the child and drew it
across his throat. The self-infiicted
wound was ghastly, but not fatal. His
attempt at suicide took place yesterday
morning. Today orders issued for his
arrest on the charge of resisting an Of
fer and assault with dangerous weapon
Public sentiment is with the unhappy
father, who is >till in a critical condi-
ton, and Il IS probable that the charges
against him will be withdrawn. There
is no question bu. that he was render
ed temporarily insane by the loss of
his child.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 2S.-When for

through Clark County last month little
thought was given to obstruction OF

dreds of deer, bears, cougars, wolves,
foxes and smaller animals were wiped
out.

ally covered with carcasses of animals

BIG DESTRUCTION OF WILD HNLMALS

The fire had encircled it at great
distance, crowding toward the lake~by
degrees, and at last driving every liv
ing animal from the surrounding
woods into the water, to be there
drowned or smothered.
Duval says that two acres Of water
were completely covered with bodies,
and in places they were two and three
deep. The ferocious animals evidently
lost their fierceness, mingling freely
with foxes and deer in their effort to
escape se1f-destruction. He describes
it as one of the most remarkable sights
ever witnessed in this section of the
