PO|SONS HIS
Ten So He MAY
DIE SECRET TLY
Thomas Hickey, IS Years of
Age, Commits Suicide
at Breakfast.
WAS DESPONDENT
OVER ILL HEALTH
Instead of Taking Sugar He
PourS Strychnine in
His Cup.

Thomas Hickey, aged 65 years and
Badger mine, committed suicide at 10
o'clock this morning by taking strych-
nine. His method was one of the most
peculiar of any yet tried in Butte, ao-
cording to the authorities. Hickey
had been despondent for several
months because Of his illness, which
prevented him from working. He sat
down to breakfast with his wife across
the table from him whom hs poured q
quantity Of stryohnine into his tea cup
and drank the solution while her head
was turned away.
He was able to finish breakfast and
when he got up from the table and sat
down In another chair nearby died
within a few minutes. Coroner Aeneas
Lane investigated the case and will
hold the inquest at o'clock tomorrow
Afternoon.
Hickey had lived here for a quarter
Of century and was engaged In min
ing during the greater part of the
time. He is survived by his wife, who
was overcome when she discovered
Hickeys act: two sisters In law, Mrs.
Kate Collins and Mrs. Julia Donohue;
and brother in law, Dan Comba-
Hickey had been i'll for four months.
He lived in small house near the
Moulton mine in Walkeryil1e. His
body was removed to the Daniels &
Bilboa parlors.

No Troops Available

..The secretary of state for war de-
clared that there were no troops i'm
mediately available for operations in
the east and his statement was ac-
cepted by the war council who took
no steps TO satisfy themselves by re-
ports Of estimates as to what troops
were available then or In the near fu-
ture. Had this been done the commits
sioners think II would have been as
certained that sufficient troops would
be available for a joint military and
naval operation at an earlier date than
supposed. but this matter was not
adequately Investigated by the war
council. Thus the question before the
war council on Jan. 10 was whether
no action of any kind should for the
time be undertaken or whether action
should be taken by the fleet alone. the
navy being held to be the only force
available.

The Butte show Is now the talk II
the country. There Is a reason for
its success-the determination OF the
Butte dealers. When the dealers got
together an estimate was made tha,
the show would cost $4,000. This
money was handed over TO the execu-

Manager Carl Horst TO go as far az
he liked. The 81 900 has been spen,

are SO well pleased with their success

The impression that the auto show
Is meant only for those who wish "a

Horst today. The show Is for every
one and is well worth anyone's time.
There isn't a man. woman. boy or
girl In the city of Butte but hopes TO
own a motor some day. The auto
show gives a man the chance to learn
about cars. He can make up his mini
