been in the work and he labored zeal
ously to make it success.
Arrangements for General Lees fu
neral, together with the selection of
the place Of interment of the re-
mains, will not be made until after
the arrival in Washington of Mrs.
Lee, who is now on her way from
Fort OSlethOrpe, Ga. Meanwhile tho
body will be prepared for burial and
will remain at the hospital. 1t is pos
sibe that the body may be laid to rest
in the national cemetery at Arlington,
although it is expected that General
Lees friends may make an effort to
have a site chosen somewhere else
in Virginia.
A widow and five children survive
General Lee. Two of the boys are
army officers and two of the girls
are wives of army officers, while the
| remaining child is a young wwoman
still in her teens. The children are

THOUGHT MAN WAS KILLED.
Crowd Had Its Feelings Narrowed
up for NothinQ.

A number of citizens had their feel
ings narrowed up Friday afternoon,
when what was feared would develop
into q firSt-clasS tragedy, turned out
to be sort of automatic joke, for
which no one in particular was re-
sponsible.
On that afternoon, as on several
previous afternoons and fOrenoonS,
too. for that matter, Charlie SlatOn
was engaged in digging a deep trench
for the foundation of a house to be
erected by William Abel just above
the Cannon residence, Oh Main street.
Owing to the nature of the ground,
it was necessary to go down to bed
rock, and the trench at the point
where Slaton was working Friday
was deep enough to completely hide
him from view. A woman who is re-
lated to him passed the place on her
way down town about o'clock, and
while SlatOn was invisible, she saw
the dirt being thrown out regularly.
Having completed her errand down
town, the relative started on the re-
turn trip. and, reaching the place
where Slaton was employed, saw no
dirt being thrown out. and glance
showed that since she last passed
there had been big cave, extending
back from the trench nearly three
feet, and filling the trench up with
earth. A further examination show
ed that the long handled shovel with
which Slaton was working had been
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1905-05-03

caught in the cave and broken. There
was no sign of Slaton anywhere, and
it certainly did look as though the
man had been caught under the fall
ing earth. The alarm was given, and
in a twinklng quite crowd had as
sembled. Two sturdy citizens had
their coats off in jiffy and were
digging away for dear life. The
crowd increased, and by this time it
was looked upon as certain that Sla-
ton was buried in the trench. AS a
physician might be needed any mo.
ment, Charlie Meyersick agreed to
stand on the balcony of the court
house and receive a signal that would
tell him to use the telephone in hur-
ry. Meantime the digging went on
and the crowd increased. No trace
of Slaton was found after consider
able of the caved dirt had been shOv-
eled out, and the diggers were begin
ming to think that the man had es-
capped, but they were urged not to
lose a moment, and each time resum
ed work. The crowd felt that any
shovelful of dirt might reveal some
portion of the victims anatomy, and
excitement was at it's height, when
calm voice from the sidewalk was
heard to ask, whats the matter
! here?'
The crowd turned to look and be-
held Charley Slaton standing on the
sidewalk surveying the work with in
terest, as well as considerable sur
prise.
The crowd gave one gasp and simp-
~ melted away without waiting for
explanations.
1t seems that Slaton left the place
a short time before the cave occurred
and all unconscious of the excitement
he had created, and of the desperate
efforts being made to bring his mang
led remains to the surface, was quiet
: ly attending to some business matters
down town. Still, if he has good
imagination, and can realize the feel
ings of that crowd, Mr.. Slaton can
, figure it out that he had a pretty
, narrow escape after all.
The joke vas on the crowd, but as
all's well that ends well, the CROWD
. didn't care.

GEN. FITZHUGH
LEE IS DEAD
Noted Virginia Soldier and Diplomat
Falls a Victim to an Attack of
Appoplexy While travelling.
Is Survived by Widow and Five
Chidren-The End is Peaceful
His Last Work.

Washington, April 29.-Brigader
General Fitzhugh Lee, United States
army, retired, died at Providence hos
pital last night, aged 6S years, from
an attack of appopleXy which he sui
fered early in the morning on a tain
While en- route from Boston to Wash
ington After General Lee had been
removed to the hospital in the morn
ing it was evident to the attending
physicians that his case was very
serious one, but they believed his
strong vitality and will power would
assist materially in a partial recovery,
at least, from the attack. His condi-
ton remained fair, considering the
severity of the attack, during the day
but shortly after 8 o'clock he began
to grow weaker, his breathing be-
came more rapid and his pulse lower,
terminating in less than two hours iii
death. The end was peaceful and
without pain, the general remaining
conscious until within five minutes
of the end. Half an hour before
death General Lee recognized his
brother, Daniel Lee, who came int,
the room for momenL.
In the room when he died were
DR.. Montgomery, one of the physl
clans at the hospital; Miss Dorsey
a relative, and nurse, two of the
attending physicians, Drs. Eide ant
Kean, having retired temporarily. \
pathetic feature of the case is tina
although General Lee was blessed Will
family consisting of wife anC
five children, not one of them was
with him at the time OF his death.
General Lee was conscious through
out the day and recognized these who
were admitted to the sick room. Nee
essarily these were very few person:
ard included the attending physicians
the nurses and several relatives who
came to visit him. While not suffer
ing any pain the general was rather
uncomfortable most of the time, hi:
breathing being difficult and his ar
ticulation when he attempted to speal
being heavy and thick. The order.
of Lieutenant George Lee, a son, who
was about to sail for the Philippines
have been changed, and he will come
to Washington, and, it is expected
will be accompanied by his sister, the
wife of Lieutenant Brown, who also
now is on the Pacific coast and whose
orders were issued directing him tt
sail with his regiment for the Philip
pines.

DARKTRAGEDY
AT BILLINGS
AN ERRING WIFE KILLS HERSELF
WHEN DISCOVERED BY HER
HUSBAND.

Billings, April 27.-Mrs. Robert
Bruce died at 1850 O'Clock today at
her home on Twenty-sixth street north
from the effects of bullet that pene
trated her right lung. The wound is
believed to have been self-inticted at
midnight last night. The woman s
husband is employed at Lombard by
the Montana railway and is away from
home most of the time. Her brother,
young man named Wheeler, has fre-
quently reported to the police that his
sister was acting in manner tending
to bring disgrace upon the other mem
bers of the family and short time
ago he caused her arrest in connection
with a man not her husband.
She was acquitted on the evidence
of her mother. Young Wheeler then
wrote a letter to Bruce at Lombard
