Robert O'CIair, Well Known Citi-
zen Of FIathead
HAD BEEN DRINKING HEAVILY
Took Sharp Razor and Severed the
Arteries in His Leg, and When
Found Was Nearly Dead From the
Loss of BIood-lt Is Probable That
He Will Recover.

Robert O'Clair, residing short
distance east of the power house,
made a desperate attempt to commit
suicide TUESDAY afternoon, and his
life was only saved after the hard
est kind of work by the attending
physicians. He is now in the hos
pital with several self inflicted cuts
on his leg, and has bright hopes of
recovery, unless the wound reopens.
O'Clair had been drinking heavily
for several days, and Tuesday, after
consuming the last drop of several
bottles of whisky, he grew despond-
ent and determined to end it all via
razor route. Slipping into the pan
try where he kept his razor, he took
it from the case and hid it in his
pocket, the case he left lying ON the
shelf. Going to his bedroom, he re-
moved his pants and underclothing
and cut a deep cash in his leg just
below the knee, and another on the
under side of his thigh above the
knee. Then donning his clothes he
laid down on the bed, with blood
pouring from the cuts, each one of
which was to the bone. After some
time he arose and attempted to cross
the room, but, faint from the loss of
blood, he reeled and fell against a
door, bursting it open, precipitating
him to the floor. The noise attract
ed his little daughter, who came to
his aid; but when she saw his blood
soaked garments and the bed covered
with blood, she became frightened
and screamed for her mother The
latter called in a couple of men who
happened to be passing, and with
their aid bandaged the cuts and par
TALLY checked the flow of blood. In
the meanwhile doctor had been
sent for, and arrived shortly after
ward The ends of the severed art
cry were sewed together and several
stitches taken in the cuts. OClair
resisted all efforts to aid him and
had to be restrained from undoing
the doctors work. He was removed
to the hospital in this city, where he
is now confined O'Clair had been
drinking heavily for several days and
was in a condition of mental col
lapse, and was hardly responsible for
his rash act. He is we'll known
throughout this vicinity, having lived
here for several years. While known
to be drinking man. he has always
borne a good reputation, and his
many friends were surprised and
shocked to hear of his attempt upon
his life.

ST. MARY'S CANAL.
Work on the Enterprise Has at Last
Begun.

Work is to be commenced almost
Immediately upon the plans for the
st. Mary's irrigation canal and res
ervoir in the northern part of the
state by the United States govern
.. mt, and, to take charge of the gov
c"nment surveys, Cyrus c. Babb, of
Inc reclamation service of the United
States geological survey, has arrived
from Washington, d. c., on his way
to Havre, where he will outfit his
party of surveyors and will at once
enter upon the work. Mr.. Babb was
accompanied by his assistant engi-
neer J. l.. Rhead, and he expects to
have between Is and 100 men at
work within few weeks. Mr. Babb
stated that he would leave for Havre
and would spend some little time
there in sucuring wagons and camp
outfits, and would then start his men
at work upon the preliminary sur
vey. He stated that he would have
out 12 or Is outfits, and his entire
corps would include nearly 100 men.
In speaking of the proposition, Mr..
Babb said: "The work on the St.
Mary diversion canal survey and the
surveys for the reservoir on the st.
Mary and the lower reservoir on the
Milk river probably will be COM
pleted this season. The actual con-
struction of the government works
probably will not be begun this year,
at least not until near the close of
the season. For the completion of
the construction probably two years
will be consumed. The construction
will include the main reservoir on
the st. Mary river, the diversion
canal by which the waters from the
ST. Mary's channel are carried to the

ais for the distribution of the water
in the Milk river valley for a dis
tance of $50 miles.
THE plan is to reclaim from $50
000 to 100000 acres of land. This will
be sold under homestead act in par
eels of from 40 to 100 acres for the
actual cost of reclamation. The cost
per acre is estimated to be from $40
to possibly $l2. The money thus re-
ceived, under the terms Of the irri-
cation BILL will be invested in new
enterprises and the good work will
go on.

for two OR three months upon the sur

and accepted, and think it very prob
able that the work outlined for the
