Suicide Defeated.

Watertown, S. D., Sept. 30-ln
just time to defeat premeditatcd
attempt at self destruction, F. NJ.
Grant, one OF the best known and
oldest pioneers in Coddington coun-
ty, Saturday evening was taken from
the moose of IL inch rope, which,
by his hand. he had arranged, in the
hope OF taking his life. The act
was committed in the barn of his
son-in-law, w. II. Best.
Mr.. Grant went to the barn, placed
a large milk stool against the partl-
ton, Topped the rope around his
neck; then swung free from the
stool, and had he not been dis
covered would have died in few
minutes. AS near as can be learned
the act was brought about by dig
ference with his daughter, Mrs.
Best. jim Fischer, an old comrade
of Mr.. Grant, was in the city yeste:-
day, and the two men were together
juse before the happening. 1t APP
pears as near as can be ascertained
that Mr. Grant was bent upon hav-
ing Jim Fisher stay at the Best
home. This did not appeal to Mrs.
Best and she told her father that
Fisher could not stay. The deci-
sion made Grant angry, and after
sitting on the front porch for time
he went to the barn and was soon
afterwards discovered by Mrs. Best
attempting his own life.

by ]. ]: Fairweather, of California,
who asked, t'Is it true chat. Beaman
is the paid attorney of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company" Presi-
dent Goudy ruled the question out of
order, but Beaman replied, saying
That he had been the company's at
torney since it's organization, but
that corporation had no interest at
stake in the forestry problem, and
the policy of the bureau In locking
up coal lands was of vast benefit to
the Colorado Fuel company in that
it prevented competition from few
coal fields.
President Goudy stated that he
had invited Pinchot to attend the
congress hoping that debate could
be arranged between Beaman and
the forester, but Pinchot had found
i: impossible to attend, He said,
however. that ample time would be
given for reply and discussion.
George Maxwell, editor of the
Maxwell Talisman, of Chicago, and
one of the founders of the congress,
departed from the subject given on
the program and launched at once
into defense of the forestry service.
His speech was frequently interrupt
ed by prolonged applause. The
speaker admitted that the forestry
service had made mistakes in ad-
ministrative detail, but he said that
-, -
right lines and that aside from in
evitable errors which were permit
ted to creep into the execution of any
great policy, there was no just
ground for criticism.

Northwestern Stock Shining.

The indications are that the
amount of stock shipped to the east
ern markets over the Northwestern
from this division Will this year ex-
coed the amount of last year. Up
to month ago the shipments were
only ninety-three cars behind the
number for the same date last year
and there is every indication that
this will be made up and increased.
Last year at the first of November,
the shipments practically stopped,
owing to the financial slump which
took away the market and hundreds
of cattle which had been brought to
the pens ready for shipment, were
sent back to the ranges.
Although the general business
throughout the division will be in
creased, the shipments from Belle
Fourche will fall off and for this
there is a good and sufficient reason.
1t. could not be expected that the
Milwaukee road would not get some
portion of the stock shipments, in
view of the fact that they are much
nearer to some points on the ranges.
But at that they are not cutting in
to the Northwestern business as
much as might be expected. The to-
tai shipments of cattle and sheep
last year amounted to approximate
ly LOO cars and this year it will
probably not exceed 1000 from
Belle Fourche. Last year, however,
was abnormal owing to the poor SER
vice of the Northern Pacific, which
was unable to furnish sufficient cars
to handle the business. The North
western got shipments even from
Miles City, Mont, which is a sta
tion on the N. p. while the cattle
men were obliged to drive their
stock upwards of ninety miles to
Belle Fourche to ship and then get
them into Chicago before shippers
who had their cattle at Miles City
at the same time and waited for N,
P. service.
II IT had not been for the severe
draught of the past summer, the
Northwestern would have secured q
| 8 1 ff51 Z . =
much greater number of cattle from
the new Milwaukee territory, but
the cattlemen were unable to drive
their stock across the country to
Belle Fourche when they could reach
a nearer point no the Milwaukee,
Even at that the Northwestern has
been getting cattle from points that
ARE ninety miles from their road and
only thirty-five miles from the Mil
waukee. Another factor that has
drawn from the Northwestern ship
ments at Belle Fourche is the com.
pletion of the Pierre line Stations
on that line, especially Underwood,
have become important shipping
points and draw from the territory
that formerly sent Its cattle to Belle
Fourche. Pioneer Times.

From there they went to IDAHO.
and in 1881 came to Rapid City,
and have resided here ever since.
Three years ago their daughter, Mrs
Genevieve Woods, died under very
sorrowful circumstances, and SIX
months ago Mr.. Patrick passed away.
Mrs. Patrick was one who made
lasting friends Of all who became
well acquainted with her, and she
leaves a large number of friends
who regret her untimely death, al
though there are none who would
call her back to suffer as she has
suffered during the past three years.
She leaves two small grand children,
who will never know the wealth of
love she bore them
The funeral services were held
Sunday at the family residence
conducted by Rev. r. c. Holbrook.
Interment was made in Mountain
View cemetery by the side of her
mother, husband and child.
Misses Lucy and Anna Buchana
gave Mrs. John e. Fall, nee Miss
Basin, shower Monday evening
that was a success in every way,
except that the guests had to put
off their supper until the lady of
honor arrived. This they did not
mind as they thought she was I'M
avoidably detained. When they
found, however, that the wedding
ceremony was what detained her,
they were almost sorry that they had
not gone on with the supper with
out her. Many beautiful pieces of
hand-painted china were given her
by her friends, and for amusement
at the shower the guests hemmed
napkins. A delicious supper was
served by the Misses Buchanan, as
sisted by their mother and Miss
Lois Mccain.
