Attempted Murder and spicide.

Dan McGlynn attempted suicide
here this evening by Sitting his
throat from ear to ear.
About 6 o'clock this afternoon the
screams of a woman attracted the at
tention Of people passing the paint
shop Of McGlynn, opposite the office
of the Ramey Lumber company. The
passersby rushed into the shop and
discovered McGlynn chasing his wife
with an open razor in his hand. Mrs
Glynn barely escaped from her hus-
band and sought refuge in a neigh.
bor's house where she appealed for
protection.
When the citizens entered the shop
after hearing the screams of Mrs.
McGlynn, they hal no time to act
before McGlynn, thwartaI in his pur-
pose by Mrs. McGlynn's escape, drew
the keen razor across his throat, cut
ting 1t from ear to ear, nearly sever
ing the jugular vein and cutting one
uf the arteries.
Drs. Cooper and Kelly were sum-
mored to the aid Of the unfortunate
victim, but no hopes Of his recovery
are entertained. The doctors say
say there is slight chance Of life
but 1t is only slight one.
Mr.. McGlynn is painter by trade
and a man Of about 35 or 40 years
of age. His rash act is attributed to
temporary insanity, as he has been
subject to such attacks at different
periods of his life.-Nez Perce Her

Wisconsin "JObbed {"

According to evidence received at
the state department thousands of
dollars are annually paid in bounty
on foxes which are mistaken or mis-
represented to be wolves, says a Mad
ison, Wis, dispatch. Since 1895
there has been paid s161,6SS bounty
on wolves, foxes, wild cats and lynxes;
in addition to this the various coun-
ties paid bounty on the same animals
amounting to probably another $780,
900. Under the present law no boun-
ty Is paid on foxes, but the bounty on
wolf over six months old is $50. of
which $40 Is collected from the state
and $40 from the county in which the
animal is killed. The bounty on wolf
cubs is So, 81 from the state and 81
fro mthe county. Chief Clerk L. B.
Nagler of the state department, ex-
presses the opinion that fully one-half
of the animals represented to be
wolves and on which bounty Is paid
as such, are foxes.

TO TEST WYOMING WOOL.
State Experiment Station VIII Help
Sheepmen Get Good Prices.

William White of New Hampshire,
is in the city and this morning as
sumed the management of the scour-
ing plant at the experiment station
here, under the direction of Prof. B.
c. Buffum, the director of the sta
tion, says a dispatch from Larimie.
Mr.. White is an experienced wool
scourer from Boston and is the in
ventor of the first wool securing ma
chine ever used in this country sue
cessfully.
Prof. Buffum has directed letters
to no less than 1000 flockmasters in
the state, asking that they send sam
pie fleeces to be tested here in an eff
fort to determine the difference in
value to the producers of secured
wool and that in the dirt.
He offers the flockmasters 15c a
pound for their wool for this test or
agrees to pay the freight charges II
the producers wish the wool returned,
less the difference in weight between
secured and unsecured wool. The
plant here is small. used only for this
test, but will handle several hundred
pounds of wool per day. 1t will be
started this week on some fleeces be-
longing to the station and some sent
In by nearby flockmasters. The con-
tention is made that eastern wool
buyers are "skinning" local producers
on wool in the dirt.
