mile east of the station. The whole of !
the population wont to the scene, expect j
ing to see the Jjmangled remains of a
human being. Mr Gutli, being the first
to reach the supposed stiff, took it by the
arm, but found that it was very much !
alive, and roiling over remarked, "Gawd, !
boys, I am dry." The crowd wended its !
way back, muttering curses on the weak- ;
ness of human nature, in being made
such fools of..

Johnson, one of Mrs Lawrence's daugh
ters and Air Hamilton's daughter
thought the\ would take an outing
Monday. There being three gentle sad
dle horses tied up near their houses,
in a spirit of fun they took them and
struck out. They were gone a couple of
hours before they were missed and
search begun for them. The little
tots as soon as they got on the hill west
of town took the county road and
went to the river seven miles from home
before they stopped. There they took a
short rest and started for home and
reached it in safety without being seen
by any of the searchers. There was a
scene at each of their homes that is
easier imagined than described. None
of them will go away on horseback for
some time to come.

Solon H. Brown Commits Suicide.
Solon H. Brown died suddenly Tues
day evening, at bis home in Choteau,
under circumstances that leave little
doubt that it was a case of Buicide..
He sat down to supper with his fami
ly and was suddenly seized with a vio
lent convulsion from which he recover
ed only to be seized by another, and yet
another during which he died. 1I-» was
sick only about 30 minutes altogether,
and there is no doubt that he had taken
some violent poison, in a lit of despond
ency. Foreclosure proceedings had been
»brought against his property in Choteau
on the day of his death, and it is gener
ally believed that, feeling discouraged,
he committed the rash act. An autopsy
will probably be held, to determine the
exact cause of death.
Mr. W. S. Whedon, Cashier of the First
National Bank of Winterset, Iowa, in a
recent letter gives some experience with
a carpenter in his employ, that will be of
value to other mechanics. He says: "I
had a carpentei working for me who was
obliged to stop work for several days on
account of being troubled with diarr
hoea. I mentioned to him that I had
been similarly troubled and that Cham-
berlain's Colic, Cholera and,, Diarrhoea
Remedy had cured me. He bought a
bottle of it from the druggist here and
informed me that one dose cured him,,
and he is again at his work." For sale
