XFi K I kf . 1 I" ra fa-.- t- i 1 K 4 MJ SJ AN a Suicidd of Charley Ford of Jesse James Notoriety Richmond, Mo., May G. The city of Richmond hai seldom been so star tled aritwas this morning by the repo'rt that Charles ford, the brother of Bob Ford, the slayer of Jww James, had committed suicide by shooting himself. The news spread rapidly, aa all reports of a like charactar do, aud immediate!) a number of people repaired to tho residence of J. T. Ford, Charley's fath er, about a milo east of the city. Up on reaching tho residpneo of the Fords . , y , '"""-" II? an us , ticulam. The young nmn was fp par unu lying on 'ho .side of the bed, dressed in pants antl shirt. His hands were fold' d aeriija his bosom and a bullet hole in his left breast told the story of his denth. The hall had passed through his heart and death must havt been instantaneous. His face was pla cid, and there was a faint smile on Ilia lips as if a feeling of pleasure and peace had come over him a? his spirit took his flight. Ths bedding was undis lurbed and Ihe room in good order, iihowiu" that he h ul expired without a .strulf. By his side was lying a 43 caliber Celt's revolver, with which the deed was done. Tho weapon was held so close as to blacken hi.s shirt boom. Yesterday and this morning Chailey was. cheKiful and apparently happy, giving no indication of his in tention to take his own life. About 8 o'clock he requested his mother to pro cure sonio morphine for him, not tell ing why he wanted it. The reasons assigned for tho act are numerous, some averting that remorse for his part in the ''removal" of Jesse was the cause; oiliprs that the fear of the ven gence of Frank Jam en, who will soon be let at liberty once morp, and who, in Charley's opiuion, would probably wreak vengence upon him for the death J of Jesse, and otherw still faying that disease preying upon his ftysteni caused his dppair. No regret is expressed lief prevatles the community. The re mirk is frequently heard: "Tim is tho noblpst act of his life. Tiie eoro ner summoned a jury ntl proceeded to ascertain the cause of his death. The evidence adduced at the inquest show ed that Ford was an habitual moiphine eat-r, oftfii consuming 10 r 12 gtains of the drug a day; that he was also se riously affected with catarrh of the b adder, which was at times very pain ful, and that he also suffered greatly from indigestion. He left no letter explaining or accounting for his deed of self destruction. The jury returned a verdict, ihnt lie came to his death from a pistol shot inflicted by Lis own hand. The general impression is that he died without a dollar, having spent all tho money he recsived for his work in tho destruction and killing of Jcsso James. Ford was a littlr over 23 years of age, and in appearance by no means attractive. He was of medium height, would weigh about 120 pounds, and was of a blonde complexion. His facp was wan and emaciited, while the up per row of teeth projected, causing his upper lip to protrude. His voice was always pitched iu a high, shrill key, aud he spoko with a light lisp. Tlis frightful screim of a wotran was hnard in a York fctrcet house yester day afternoon. Sovpral men who were parsing along rushed pell-mell in to the house, thinking the woman was being murdered. "What's the matter!" asked tho man -entered first. 'Oh, oh!" sighed tho woman. "Where is hel Wh-re did he go?" asked another, as ho rushed here and there. "Obi in oh that hole in the corner, I think." It was a mouse. " Wise Father. A wordly fathiir, after tho style of a Lord Chesterfield, is giving good ad vice to his tion, who is about to enter society. And, above all, avoid flirtations. But if you must flirt or fall in love, bo .scro it is with a pretty woman. It is always Rafer. "Wlij?" "Becauo some other fellow will be sure to be attracted and cut you out before tny harm has been done." Don't be Mean, Boysl w - Sometimes I wonder what a mean man thinks about when he goes to bad. When he turns out the light anJ Hm alone he is then compelled to be honest with himself. Not a bright thouahtj not a generous iuipul.p, not a word of blessing, not a grateful loos: cornea bac : to him; not a penny dropped into tho palm of poverty, nor the balm of a loving work dropped into an ach ing heart; no junbeam of encourage ment cast upon a struggling life; nd stronj right hand of fellowship reachod. nucto heln some tallen man .to hi faot when none of theso things como to him as the "God bless yon" of thd departed e'ay, how lib must hate him self how ho must try to roll away from himself and sleep on the other side of the bed when the only victory he can think of is some mean victory, in which ho has wrorged a neighbor. No wonder he always sneers when ho tries to smile. How pure and good all tho rest of the world must look to him, and how careless and dreary must his own path appear. Who, even on in solatcd act of meanness is enough ta scatter cracker crumbs" in tho "bbtl of the average hian, and what must ba the feelings of a wan whose wholo hfo is giveii up to mean acts When thera is so much suffering and heartache and misery in the world anyhow, why-should any one add a pound of wickednes or sadness to the general burden! Don't be mean, boys. Suffer injustice ft thousand times ratiier than commit ife once. "Burdette." Nat row Gauge Railroads- It was rumored last week that the O. R. i N. Co. had allowed the leaiso on tho roads to lapse by failing tb keep up the interest, and that the Scots It company wern-aboutto assume control; and complete the road3 iuto Portland, but tho statement' is also made -that 'hft.rjfiht of JSray dp't .my?, ny'tr to Villaru on the agreement tliat'tho roads to Portland sllu'd b completed in three years, and onJy two years have elapsed, so that the Sc&ici-eotnpny' cannot commence operation for a yea)! yet. The Oregonian says When the Oregon Railway Company leased its lilies to the O. U. S: N., track on the west side division had reached the town of Dun lee, Yamhill county, twenty-four and oce-half miles south of PortUnd, and work on tho bridgo aerc.ir. the Willamette had bcrn com mencsd. Grading has bn completed to a point fourteen miles southof Don dee, and only ten and ons-half miloa from Portland. The engineer's esti mates on cost and completion of tho linn to thti foot of Columbia street in this city are 300,000. This includes two tannols, one thirty anJ the other" sixty feet long, through tho bluffjust above the "White house. Contract prico for tho bridge over the Willamette was 1-10,000. Thu it will cost no less than $550,000 to bring both troads into Portland, repair1 the bridges over I he North and ths South Santiam, and put ths roadbed in good order. In Favor of Forfeiture Washington, May 2 .The Senate! Committee on Public inds today de cided to report bills forfeiting the'Iand grants opposite the uncompleted por tions of the Northern Pacific main lind and branches on the line, and the At lantic' and Pacific railraods. Senator Plumb, Chairman of ths committee, says that it ii inif o-ib!e to calculato the number of acirs involved in both cases, Somo land was token up befora the clnrter was granted and in tha case of the Atlantic Pacific read waa not constructed in the direction it con terapja&tj Nominally, the Senator thinks the forfeiture on the Northern Pacific will amount to thirteen million acres, and the Atlantis and Pacifia thirty-six million acres. Senator Slater, the author of tho bill providing for forfeiture of the land grant of the Northern Pacific railroad siys that -the actual number ot acres forfeited a'ong that line will be seven million, whichisthree million Iss than proposed by the House Committee or Public Lanas. Senator Slater's bill further providas that the lien lands, hereafter selected, nf occupied iy bona fide.tettlers, shall be sold at $1 25 per acre for 1G0 acrei.
