STRANGER DIES
OF ALCOHOLISM
WAS EMPLOYED At THE w. Il.
cLANToN RANCH.

Alcoholism is given as the cause OF
death Of the unknown man who died
at the w. H. Clanton ranch Sunday
noon, supposedly from heat or exhaus.
ton. The man was a foreigner, spoke
only broken English and nothing is
known Of his identity. He will he
buried today at the expense Of the
county in the potters' field OF the Bill.
ings cemetery.
The foreigner appeared at the Clan.
ton ranch, about q mile west Of the
city. last Friday morning begging for
something to eat. He said at that
time that he was sick and unable to
work, and Mr.. Clanton told him he
would feed him until such time as he
was able to work.
Saturday he complained of being
sick again and asked for some ice wa.
ter. Mrs. Clanton gave him some ice
water and he drank an unusually large
quantity OF It. Sunday morning at
breakfast he said that he was worse
and after eating, went out and sat in
a buggy In the hot sun. About noon
Mr.. Clanton found him still sitting
there. his head in his hands and ap.
parently unconscious. DR.. Rinehart
was called and 10 minutes after his ar.
rival the man was dead.
There was absolutely nothing found
on the body that would lead to the
mans identity. He was without bag
gage or money and did o even so
much as tell his name Al the Clanton
ranch before his death.

dart, he needs the encouragement
which he will now receive.
Did you ever stop to think bow this
custom originated? We can thank the
practical. frank, Scottish people for
1t. During the reign of Margaret,
about the year 1928, the Scottish par
lament passed the following act:
"Ordonit that during We reign Of
her maist olessit Majestic, lika
maiden ladee, Of bath high and low
estait. shall haze liberty to speak We
man she likes; gif he refuses to take
her to be his wit, he shall be mulct
in the sum Of an hundrity pundis or
less, as his estait may be, except and
always gif he can make it appear that
he Is betroth to anither woman, then
he shall be free"
This act has now become thorough
~ established as a custom. although
1t no longer exists as a law. Today
every fourth year is observed by prac-
tically all nations, either in Jest or
fact, as the time when the maid can
speak for herself"
