From Thursdays Daily.
Scarcely IL hours after his return
to Billings Following 4 years sojourn
In Spokane. Louis johnson, aged 81. q
plasterer. took 30 grains Of strychnine
yesterday afternoon about s o'clock
and died a little after midnight in ter
rible agony.
Worry over III health and morbid
brooding yer imaginary troubles are
the only motives assigned by the rela,
tives at 202 Terry avenue. where the
body Of the young man now lies.
Johnson. with his mother Mrs. L. q.
johnson, and two sisters, Viola, aged
II. and Blanche, aged 3. returned yes
terday morning from Spokane and at
once went to the home Of Mrs. e. A.
Snow ut 202 Terry avenue. Mrs.
Snow Is an aunt Of the deceased.
During the day Johnson seemed
cheerful enough, and nsthe afternoon
went up town. saying that he was go.
ing to arrange some business matters.
Az 5 o'clock, after remarking that he
had failed to arrange about the pa
pers on the claim at Huntley he had
intended to take up, he complained Of
WEAKNESS from travel and said he
guessed he would go up to his room
and lie down.
A few moments afterward Mrs
Shows son ran into the sitting room
and cried:
Mother, Louis is awful sick and
ought to be attended to-"
When Mrs. Snow entered the room
she found Johnson writhing on the
floor in the fearful commissions OF
strychnine poisoning. Drs. Watkins
Bishop and Johnson were summoned
at once and worked Owe the poisoned
man for hours, but were unable te
save him and he died at 1890.
In the interval between two Of the
commissions which wracked his frame
Johnson is said to have told the physi
clans that he purchased the strych
nine on the south side, saying that hi
wanted it to poison a coyote. Hi
bought a large quantity but took only
20 grains, which is enough, however
to kill 10 men.
According to Johnson's relatives
the suicide can be due to nothing bu'
2 temporary insanity brought on b,
brooding over his III health. He wa.

As the result Of q row In the Bud
weiser saloon last night to which he
was an innocent spectator Ed Grady
lies at his home on Fourth avenue
south with a bullet through his left
leg, while John Gilchrist. bartender at
the saloon, Is under arrest charged
with the shooting and Fred De Vail is
in Jail, on q technical charge OF dis
turbance but mainly as a witness.
About Z o'clock In the evening De
Vail entered the saloon and asked
Gilchrist to cash a check. Gilchrist,
1t is alleged, refused and this led to
loud words and threats Of fighting.
Gilchrist is alleged to have come out
from behind the bar and engaged in
I. scuffle with De Vail and then to
have gone around behind the bar
again and got his gun.
When De Vail saw the gun he made
for the door, and Gilchrist is said to
have aimed after him. Just as he was

vich-HrebeIianoviCh of ServIa, the sub
iect of the sketch. While the article IN the
main referred to Miss Calhoun IN terms OF
highest praise, there were some errors as to
her dramatic successes which the Princess
wishes to have corrected. These u1SSta- e
ments are thus refuted
No wealthy widow nor any other person

child, when Mrs Charles CrOcker advanced
three thousand dollars out Of sympathy with
the motives that led me to take up the career
was then entering upon. The only other IN
stance was the production OF The Scarlet
Letter in London. when a group OF American
friends headed by a New York banker and his
wife, then living IN London. put about four
thousand dollars into the production

New-York tribune., 1908-11-22

In 1906 and 1907 | published in
the leading papers Of this country a
large advertisement called o Dan
gerous Hair Dyes" in which l set
forth the dangers and disadvantages
from the use of strong two-bottle
dyes and particularly the lead and
sulphur preparations with the thick
sediment.
Now does it not seem significant
that as soon as the pure food laws
went into effect, makers of various
preparations, which | warned you
against at an earlier date, were forced
BY the new laws to change their
labels and correct their unreasonable
claims, and in many cases they have
even changed their formulas and no
longer claim to restore the color to
gray and faded hair.
[ have not changed my formula of
the truly wonderful colorific prepara-
ton called Mary T. Goldman's Gray
Hair ReStorer, because it always
was, and still is harmless and good.
