FEARING SIGHT LOSS
FORMER HELENA GIRL
ENDS LIFE IN IDAHO
Gooding, Ida., Jan. 5.—After strug
gling a mile and a half through deep
snow to a butte near Gooding, Helen
Tenney, 18-year-old daughter of Pres
ident C. W. Tenney of Gooding col
lege, shot herself through the head
and her body was found by searchers
at 1 o'clock this morning.
Miss Tenney had suffered ill health
for the last two years and had re
cently expressed fear she would lose
her eyesight. She left for a walk ear
ly yesterday afternoon and search
started when she did not return
late last night. Some friends remem
bered that she had spoken occasional
ly of a pine tree on the Butte and un
der this her body was found, the hand
holding a small pistol.
Miss Helen Tenney was born in
Helena while her father was presi

Intermountain Union college. He
now
came here 29 years ago as a teacher
at the college. He left the college in
1912, for a time was connected with
the office of state superintendent of
schools, was superintendent of the
Libby schools and went from there to
the newly organized Methodist college
at Gooding, Ida. Mrs. Tenney was
Maud Huston of Helena.
Miss Tenney had lost her hearing
and was in Tacoma last summer for
treatment, according to Mrs. Mary
Smith Clark, who met her there. She

'ALL THAT GLITTERS'
There was an old Duffer called
Dick
Whose dome was exceedingly
thick;
He sent all his coin
To a dub in IXes Moines,
Who mailed him a gilt-colored
brick!
**«**
HE Investments some people
make are just as foolish as
those of the people who pur
chase gold bricks. One of the
principal functions of a banker
is to render expert service in the
selection of income producing
investments. Consult a banker
when you want to buy securities.
