BRC0DED OVER SALE OF HIS STOCK RANCH
-9as Ns.own as Honest Fin"-Came
Here From Ireland in 1876
Was Never Married.

Arthur Finnegan, known all over
the western part of the state as 'Hon-
est Fin" was discovered Sunday
morning hanging from beam in the
barn of his cousin on his ranch near
Pedro. In the pockets of his vest were
found time bank certificates and cash
amounting to $50, 900, and an exami-
nation Of his personal effects disclosed
the fact that he was worth about SO,
600, in property checks and cash.
Dependency is supposed to have been
the cause which led to his taking his
own life, being temporarily insane at
the time.
Last week he sold his ranch and
stock on Ash Greek, east of the Chey-
enne river for approximately $4,000
to a Nebraska man. The sale made
him morose and to such an extent
friends prevailed upon the purchaser
to agree to redeem the place to Finne-
gan for a slight advance considera-
ton. And it was during the pending
OF the agreement that the act Of self
destruction was committed.
Following the transfer of the prop
erty, Einnegan went to the home of
cousin near Pedro. While there he
showed signs of insanity, constantly
brooding over what he fancied the
loss of his ranch and cattle, even
though it is said he received a good
round price for the property. During
the few days he remained with his
cousin he was seized with violent fits
of hystcria, when he would weep and
bemoan what he called his rash act
in selling his favorite herd of Her.
fords. 1t was on this account friends
took up the effort uo secare the re-
turn of the property. The, interven-
ton seemed to pacify and restore his
spirits, to the extent that he retired
Saturday evening feeling as usual.
Sunday morning, as he did not appear
for breakfast, seach revealed his life
less body hanging from beam, he
having left his bed some time during
The night. He went to the barn, re-
moved q halter from one of the man
gers, climbed upon scantling so he
could fasten one end of the halter
rope to the beam, the other around
his neck and drop. The vertebra Of
the neck was broken and it is supposed
he died instantly.
WAS AN EARLY SETTLER.
Finnegan came TO this coun-
try from Ireland in 1876, and for
many years followed the life of a COW
boy with varying success During
these years he gained the reputation
a strictly honest and temperate man,
one who could be depended on to dc
the square thing. He later located on
Alkali Creek, twenty miles north OF
this city, and from there he settled
on the ranch disposed OF on Ash
Creek where he prospered. He was
well known and had friends anywhere
he went. He was upright and honest
in all his dealings. He was bache
lor and is thought to have no relatives
in this country except the cousin.

Can You Tell
What Ais This Man ?

He has good appetite, but no desire
for work or exercise. His sleep is trou-
bled, he has pains in back and shoulders,
a coated tongue and dark brown taste in
his mouth. He is dizzy when he arises
from STOPPING over. His bowels are irree-
ular and often constipated. Do you know
what ails himl Did you ever feel that
way! The truth is he is bilious. His
bowels are. clogged up. The bile and poi
sonous secretions of the stomach, not find
ing their natural outlet, are being absorbed
by the blood. He is being poisoned
In all such cases take Smiths Pine
apple and Butternut Pills, which are an
infallible remedy for biliousness and all
other forms of liver trouble. Their effects
are quickly seen in a complete change of
spirits, regular daily movements Of the
bowels, refreshing sleep and rapid return
of healthy appetite and digestion. Physi-
clans use and recommend. They form no
habit. You should always keep them on
hand. These little Vegetable Pills viii
ward off many ills.

Verse 21.-Do you know any person
in all history who had a better right
10 boldly tell of his sufferings than
Paul?
Verses 22-23.-Is there any lack of
| modesty, or good taste, in Paul, or
any other true man, giving a full ac-
count of his qualifications and his suf-
ferings for Christ's cause?
What advantage is it to be born of
good stock?
What advantage was it to Paul that
he was Hebrew, an Israelite, and of
the seed of Abraham?
Is there any higher privilege, or
greater honor than to have labored
and suffered, for the cause of Christ,
which is the cause of humanity?
Does a true ministry, then and
now, always imply much suffering and
self denial?
Verse 24-27.-What is the best

noble hero who, at the expense of
lifelong and unparalleled suffering,
gave himself up to the service of
others? .(This question must be

Read until the story of this bitter
and prolonged suffering is burned in

great measure, responsible for Paul's
suffering, and then say, after all,
which got the more aggregate joy out
of life, Paul or they?
How many of these cruel sufferings
TO which Paul here refers, are men
