CHARLES FELLOWS DESPERATE
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE,
PROMPT ACTION SAVES HIM
Peculiar Mental Condition That
Prompts Man to Take His
Own Life.

No
"~Stonewall," made a desperate at
tempt at self-destruction last night.
and in doing so afforded opportunity
to those interested in psychological
matters to study the phenomenon OF
suggestion and the power it exerts on
minds of the responsive sort.
Fellows came here from Red Lodge
a short time ago and is a gambler.
A few nights back he was heard to
remark that he had been an intimate
friend OF Paddy" Fleming, the Red
Lodge marshal, who committed sui
eide some weeks ago, and had started
on the spree with Fleming that end
ed so far as the marshal was con
cerned in the latter's death. He said
Fleming's suicide had continued to
prey on his mind and that he had
finally left Red Lodge, fearing that if
he remained he would kill himself,
as he could not shake off the desire
to follow his friend. Suicide, he de-
clared, seemed to have become a sort
of mania with a number of Red Lodge
people since Fleming had shuffed off
and mentioned the case of a mar who
attempted to kill himself, but failed.
and added that if he had remained
there he knew he would certainly have
given way to the impulse and another

Ever since his arrival in the city
Fellows has been drinking more or
less. Last night he was in Conway's
saloon on the south side. He was
known to have a key to one of the
rooms overhead and when the day
bartender ceased work he called the
attention of the night man to the fact.
Shortly after midnight the night bar
tender had occasion to show a man
to a room and heard labored breath
ing in the n adjoining, that to
which Fellows had a key. He entered
and turned on the light and saw Eel
lows lying on the bed, apparently in
an unconscious condition. On a table
stood a bottle bearing a morphine
label and by it's side lay a pen knife
used in extracting the cork.
AS 500 as possible the bartender
telephoned to the home of William
Conway and informed him of his dis
covery. Mr.. Conway SEN for Doctor
Rinehart and fastened to the saloon.
The doctor responded promptly and
when he arrived pronounced Fellows
to be suffering from morphine poison
ing. The usual antidotes were ad-
ministered and the three men began
to work with the would-be suicide and
it was not until after the end of three
hours that their efforts showed signs
of being successful and shortly af-
terward Fellows was believed to be
out of immediate danger, although
still very sick.
Doctor Rinehart gave it as his opin-
ion that the man had taken about 10
grains of the drug enough ordinarily
to kill three men. This morning it
was said that Fellows appeared to be
worse again and his friends were ap-
prehensive as to the outcome.

Dislocated Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad-
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her a bottle of
IL. which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was so much pleased with the
relief it gave his mother that he has
since recommended it to many 9TH

They tell good one or prominent real
estate man of Waurika. Some time ago he
carried a prospector over on Beaver Creek
to show him certain claim. He told the
man that it was an exceptionally fine claim /;
that the land did not overflow, and that
he would sell it to him for 81 900. The man
looked around and discovered some red
mud way up in a tree and asked the real
estate man what caused that mud in the
tree tops if the land did not overflow. The
agent promptly. replied that there was a
kind Of hog raised over in the Chlckasaw
country which used to range on the creek

To become mother-more especially

HINTS FOR FEEDERS.
In Some Cases Grinding Feed for
stock Pays, in Others 1t Is q
Waste of Labor.

Prof. Henry. of the University of
Wisconsin, gives the following adj
vice regarding ground feed for
stock: This subject is difficult
one to discuss owing to the great
variety of conditions existing as to
both grain and animals. Directions
are here given which may serve to
guide the feeder in his practice:
For horses which are out of the sta
BILE during the day and worked hard,
all grain, with the possible excep-
ton of oats, should be ground. For
those at extremely hard work all
grain should be ground and mixed
with chaffed hay. For idle horses,
oats or corn should not be ground.
nor need the hay or straw be
chaffed. A cow yielding large flow
of milk should be regarded as hard
working animal and her feed pre-
pared accordingly. Fattening steers
and pigs may be crowded more rap
idly with meal than with whole
grain, though there is more danger
attendant upon its use. Sheep worth
feeding. can always grind their own
grain. In. general idle animals and
those having ample time for masti-
cation, rumination and digestion dc
not need their grain or roughage
prepared as carefully as do those

quite generally show increased gains
from grinding grain, but in many
cases they are not sufficient to pay

That doesn't refer to money alone.
In these days of business prudence
every man tries to so arrange his
affairs that when he passes away
the burdens he leaves behind will
rest lightly on his loved ones.
But there are morals. SO many
men refuse to think. They are
selfish in their business, selfish in
their pleasures, selfish in their
thoughts. Every man has some in
t1uence. No man can live wholly in
himself. He leaves a legacy to
some one.
