Bismarck Cts
Make Demand

About so citizens of Bismarck
descended on the city hall thi:
morning demanding that the
franchise be given to the stree
railway company for the Bis
marck line.
They did not care anything
about the terms. All they wan
is franchise, and they are will
ing to give the street railway
company anything to get it tc
build out to Bismarck and give
them street car service.
Mayor Fawcett has insisted
that the franchise should not ex.
tend beyond the limits of the old
franchise, but now the company
is demanding that the old fran
chise be extended for 25 years
unless the new one is granted and
the common user clause in the
charter is stricken from the
franchise.
The whole matter was laid over
until next week, and it will come
up for final passage in two
weeks, probably.

15-YEAR-O
BOY KILLS
HIMSELF
DRINKS CARBOBIC ACID AT
DOWN TOWN HOTEL-TIRED
OF DIVING - MOTHER Is
HEARTBROkEN.

Give my skates to boy = I
won't need them now. I'm going
to join father and brother"
This was the postscript to a
hastily written note which Arthur
Edfast received this morning
but it came too late. Shortly
after 8 o'clock last evening his
brother, Oscar A. Edfast, drank
carbolic acid in the Delmonico
hotel, staggered a few steps and
fell dead. The note which young
Edfast penned to his brother was
written from the ST. Charles hotel
in Portland. 1t told his brother
he was tired of living, but gave an
address in case his brother wished
to write. The same train, how
ever, brought both letter and It's
writer-the one for the office and
its channels of distribution and
the other for the hotel room and
the suicides unhappy end.
Young Edfast was Is years of
age and was the son of Mrs. o. G..
Edfast, who conducts the Clyde
hotel at 1929 Pacific avenue.
According to the elder brother
the young man has been peculiarly
affected by the accidental killing
of another brother in a railway
accident year ago, and has acted
queerly at intervals since. This
is believed to have been the prin-
cipal cause for the deed.
He left home a few days ago,
however, taking a small amount
of money from his mothers purse.
His last money was spent to rent
the room in the Delomnico hotel,
where he committed the terrible
deed, and the fact of his money
being gone is supposed to have
increased his dependency.
Within five minutes after young
Edfast had entered the room IN
the Delmonico hotel a terrible
scream was heard. Before the
boy could be reached he was seen
coming down the hall. Mrs. Cline,
who conducts the place, rushed to
his assistance, but he fell over a
small table dead as she reached
his side. Coroner Shaver was
notified and took charge of the re-
mains.
Shortly after, Arthur Edfast
identified his brothers remains,
but tearfully pleaded that his
mother be not notified of the ter
rible deed until the following
morning. Let her have one more
nights rest" he begged.
Today the mother is heart
broken over the affair. and the I'M
happy letter of warning only ad-
ded to the burden of the grief
stricken family.

morning, Commissioner Roys
moved that the former resolution
instructing ~the police to enforce

All commissioners voted for it
