ROB'T MYHRVOLD
TAKES OWN LIFE
REVENUE DEPUTY LOCATED
HERE COMMITS DEED AT
HELENA, SAT-.

Local people who were acquaint-
ed with Robert J. Myhrvold were
/ shocked to read in last Sundays
papers that he had taken his own
| life at Helena. Mr.. Myhrvold sue
ceeded Mr.. Dahl as local field
representative of the internal
revenue department, was stationed
here several months during the
Summer and Fall. He left Wolf
Point Wednesday, December 26th
to go to Helena to check up with
c. A Rasmussen, internal revenue
collector, having resigned his
office with the intention of enter
ing business at Chinook.
Poison and Fall
The newspaper accounts from
Helena say that Myhrvold took
large quantity of poison, includ-
ing a quantity of bichloride of
mercury tablets, some of which
he ate in bonbons, and some he
swallowed after soaking them in
lysol. This he did on the third
floor of the Y M. c. A. where he
had engaged a room. Soon after,
he went to window and raised it.
probably seeking fresh air in the
agony he must have been suffer
ing. He either fell or threw him
self from the window and landed
on the pavement fatally injured.
Some of those who gathered
about him say they asked him if
he fell or jumped, and that he
answered that he fell. He was |
rushed to hospital but died soon
after reaching there.
At Home Christmas
Mr.. Myhrvold spent Christmas
day at his home in Chinook where
his wife's father, A. w. Ziebarth,
resides. Mr.. Ziebarth is promi-
nent citizen of the town His
friends there say Myhrvold was
cheerful and apparently in good
health. But it is their belief that
he was under the delusion that
he as afflicted with Gamer OF
he stomach, and to some he said
hat he had been suffering from
sinus trouble Several people in
Wolf Point, who talked with him
he day he left say he was per-
ectly normal in his manner and
'ational in his talk. A w. Bur
,ess of the First National convers-
d with him and Myhrvold told of
lis reasons for changing his
and his plans for en-
ering business. A. W. Huxol had
lengthy conversation concerning
evenue matters and says he
Ioticed nothing unusual about

AL Jolson sings to the unseen
millions in "Say 1t With Songs"
Warner Brothers latest all.talking,
all-singing picture which opens
at the Metropolitan Theater on
Saturday.
AS Joe Lane, radio entertainer,
the star has many opportunities
to sing-which he does not only
for the broadcasting station, but
from prison where he is sent as
the result of an accidental killing.
Jolson does not resort to burnt
cork in Say 1t With Songs"
since his audiences, supposedly
never see him. Although he sings
a group of songs that will be
heard around the world, he plays
the part of a man who considers
himself a hopeless failure. Say
1t With Songs" is the most ten
derly emotional of all Jolson's
stories.
1t was written by Daryl Zanuck
and Harvey II. Gates and the talk

the Mutual burlesque attraction

of the two acts Of comedy: partic-

Censor Goldstein witnessed
performance after complaints had
been made the costumes for some
Of the principals were too scanty
and the lines Of the burlettas
offensive. After seeing the show
Mr.. Goldstein reported to Man

the complaint about nudeness
unjustified, but did order one Of
the principals to be less vigorous

dance encore. The changes were

The ship, he added, was flying along
when suddenly one of its wing struts
broke" The other followed suit and
"the wings began to crumble." He did
not give an exact description of how
the landing itself was accomplished.
Clark's description of what he saw as
the Western Air Express ship circled
over the mountain on whose side the
smashed "City of San Francisco" lay,
was brief The plane, he said, appeared
to have crashed into the mountain at
a point not more than so feet below its
peak. Most of the wreckage, he added,
was in a ravine on the mountainside
but some of it was scattered 80 to 40
yards away.
Circled Three Times.
The mountain was circled three
times, Clark said, while occupants OF
the Western Air Express plane sought
to see more of the tragedy's after
math. It was impossible to distinguish
anything but the ravine and the wreck
age.
Besides Clark, passengers in the
western ship were Lester Luhnon. Los

one other whose name was not learned
