Cut His Throat From Ear to Ear In q
Horrible Manner With a Common
Three-Blsded Pocket Knife.
HAD BEEN DRINKING HEAVILY
Had Never lntimated That He In
tended to Kill ~HimseIf-T. r. o..
born In the House at the Time.

A telephone message was received
In Lewistown early Friday morning
from Rockford asking that a doctor
and the coroner at once repair to that
point. as Roaring Tom" Moores had
killed himself by cutting Ills throat
from ear to ear.
DIR. Wilson started as soon as pos
sible and a short time afterwards Dep
uty Phil. shaw, Or. Treacy and Jus.
tice MCGOWAN left for the Sipple
ranch on Rock creek, where the rash
ach was committed.
The ranch has lately been sold by
John Sipple to the Rev. A. b. Sheldon,
and Moores. who had been living with
Sipple before the sale, had been max
ing the ranch his home. For several
days previous to his death he was
In Lewistown drinking heavily. T..
F. Osborn, who is working on the
ranch. was living there at the time
alone with Moores and was the last
person to see him alive.
On the arrival of the justice a jury
was summoned. which was composed
of p. T. Elston, l.. H. Sweetland, w.
+. Hanna. H. S. Leonard. Evan Jones
and o. c. Osborn. T. F. Osborn, who
was the principal witness, in his ties.
timony said that Moores returned from
town about three o'clock on Friday,
very much under the influence of liq-
but good natured and in the best
of spirits. At six o'clock Osborn went
to the house and got supper; about
S:45 both men went to bed in seper-
ate rooms. About three o'clock in the
morning Osborn was awakened by
Moores pounding against the wall and
breathing heavily: thinking that he
had the nightmare, Osborn went into
the DOT and saw Moores laying on
the bed with his throat cut form ear
to ear and Just about to die. He
hastily ran to the ranch of Evan
Zones, about a quarter of a mile away.
from whence a messenger was sem
to Rockford and a message from that
point sent to Lewistown rel the
wire.
DR.. Treacy. who conducted the
autopsy. stated that the wound had
been made in a very determined man.
ner, the iugular veins, the thorax and
the left caratoid all being completely
severed.
DIR. Wilson vas the first to examine
the dead man and found a threeblad!
ed pocket knife between ,Le arm and
side which vas covered with blood
and was evidently the weapon with
which the unfortunate man killed
himself.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1902-04-16

The deceased. though he acted
strangely at times, had never been
heard to threaten to kill himself. and
no reason can be given for his ac-
ton beyond the fact OF his excessive
use Of liquor. though a short time ago
Moores wanted someone to draw up
his will, leaving what little property
he owns, a few head OF horses, to his
wife. He did not state where she
lived and no trace can be found OF
any OF his relations.
Moores earned the sobriquet of
Roaring Tom" by his b~oisterous
manner when under the influence of
liquor, and is well known to many
old time residents in this district.
For many years he worked around the
sawmill owned by j. c. Walker on
Rock creek; In fact he was In the hab-
II of looking upon the Walker place
as his home and when Mr.. Walker dis
posed of his interests in the business,
Moorss lost q good home. Since that
time he has worked on different
ranches and owned at one time the
ranch on Rock creek the property
of Dad" Hughes. He worked last
winter for John SippIe and when the
deal was made by which the ranch
transferred to the Rev. A. B. Sheldon,
he obtained permission to remain on
the ranch until spring. He was be-
tween forty and fifty years of age
and had been in this section of the
state for more than twenty years.
John Gailinder of New Year, was
in the city yesterday and says that he
has known Moores for several years,
and says that. the deceased nan has
a wife in Iowa. whom he left twenty
years ago. through some real or
imaginary grievance. Mr. Callinder
says that hecwas talking Co Moores in
Lewistown the night previous to his
death and though MoDres a drink
ing pretty heavily had no idea Of his
committing suicides.
The dead man has not always been
a drinking man and ID has only been
in the past few years that he has i'm
bibed SO heavily. He has many
friends who have known him for the
past twenty years who greatly de-
plore his sad. ending.
The funeral took place last Satur-
day.

but in spite of the heroic efforts OF
the department the fire spread rapid
ly and when that supply was exhaust
ed a last move was made to the Burk
we'll. from whence water was thrown
onto the outhouses and points where
the flying sparks fell thickest.
By close watching the fire was pre-
vented from spreading and about IL
o'clock the building commenced to
collapse: the roof fell In and as the
west wing burned fercely a series of
detonations as from a squad Of rifle
men were heard and II was ascertain
ed that they we're caused by the ex-
plosion OF rifle cartridges, which were
the property of d. H. s. Robbins, who
was a guest OF the Bright's last fall.
Mr.. Robbins had left several guns and
an ample supply of ammunition in
their charge. as well as several suits
of clothes, when he left for his trip
to New York.
The origin of the fire cannot be pos.
itiyely a~scertained. though Mr.. Bright
thinks that 1t might have been due to
some trouble with the electric wires
which passed through that section of
the building in which the fire was
first noticed. George Hall and Jack
Rowley were among the first at the
house and both agree that the fire was
well under way at the time OF its dis
covery. Mrs. Bright lost almost her
entire wardrobe and many personal
belongings which were overlooked.
About two.thirds OF the furniture was
saved, though some of II was badly
damaged in handling.
The fire lasted from S;45 to about
1880. when the chimneys fell and
nothing remained but a blazing mass
of embers. The engine on this occa-
sion worked s~plendidly and an enor-
nous amount Of water was thrown
on the building during the progress
of the fire.
The colored porter employed by
Mr.. Bright lost $S5. which was in his
clothes. which were consumed by the
fire before he was able to rescue
them.
One amusing incident connected
with the fire was the finding OF a three
gallon jug Of sherry by those who
were handing the bed room furniture
out of the upper windows. When the
jug came in sight those below shout.
ed: Throw 'er down.. and the boys
who had the jug threw 'er down-on
the inside. afterwards explaining that
it effectually counteracted the effects
of the smoke.
There is $4,000 worth of insurance
on the building and its contents.
which is distributed as follows: ST.
600 on house in National Hartford
Fire Insurance Co., and 81, 500 OH fur
niture in the German American Co..
both Of these being placed through
Messrs. COX & Hilger and $1,000 on
the house with the Liverpool, London
& Globe. which was taken by Wright
Bros. Mr.. Bright states that he has
not yet determined whether he will
erect a new residence on the site of
the old one or not.
What might have been a fatal acct
dent occurred when the big chimney !
fell and the Rev. Winters narrowly
escaped being buried under the deb
ris. The reverend gentleman was
busy pouring water on the fence oppo-
site the chimney and when it started
to fall was directly in line. Many OF
the bystanders shouted to him. but
before he realized what was happen
ing the big pile of bricks and mortar
fell in a cloud of dust and sparks
a few feet OF him.
