There wcro two attempts at aulcldo In I
Council Hluff * Saturday night , and they '
both resulted fuUlly yatlcrauy morning.
Malt i Lyon , whoso nltoinpt was mentioned In
yesterday's ' UEP , died shortly before noon.
'A Investigation of the circumstances loads
to ( the conclusion that bis suicide wai the re-
suit ot dissipation. Ho stated to louie ol the
siP
people at the Western house seine time ago
tnut n girl to whom he was ontagcd ; to bo
married died In Omtha with quick consump
tion. In order to drown his sorrows , ho took
tie drinkltitr. Ho was formerly an omplojo
of U. O. Dun & Co. In Omatta , and
was consliiorcd a f.rst-clats clerk.
It [ was ihro.igh the lullucnco of
W. I'otenon , the number ul Dun's
f'ouncil lllun4 oflko , ibal he was lalcon in nt I
the Western house , PotoMoa piying his
board bill for ovcral weeks. He had been
drinking heavily for sovor.tl days prior to
his death und it is supposed that bis disgust
with life rosultoj from his prolongea spree '
Oco ( iupton , ono of the inm.nei of 117
1'lercu alieut , nlso took an ovcrdoio of itior-
phlno Saturday night with suicidal Intent.
Dr. Bellinger wus called to the house , bul
refused to picscrlbo for nor. sulnir she
would pull througli nil right , It was about
ihrce bouts after she bad tuken llio deadly
drug Ihut lie was there. When stfo became
worse ho was rccnlled , but declined to come.
Or UtiNdnr wus Mien called , but It was ; oo
Into losnve her life.
According to the story told by the relatives
of thu dead girl , xvho live In Snenundoah ,
la , she Itft homo tnu Sundav before Iho Ith
of lust July in company uitli Ed Broun ,
who works ut Meschendort's ' butohor shop ,
lo come lo Council Bluff ? where Brown snid
she could gel a pluio to work in a. hotel. The
girl could not re.id or wilte , so lhat all the
fainilv hpard from hnr cnmo Ihrough Brown.
Tnoy clulm lo have received n letter from
him s'ating ' ihnl she had u piuco In the "Pal-
uco hotel' ' in Council Bluff * . The ilrsl Ihey
knew us to her leal wheicubouts v.as when
Ihoy received a telrgiam yesterday nioinmg
uiinounclne ibal she hud died in u house of
111 reputo.
Tbo assertion thai Brown was responsible
for the gill's downfall U stoutly denied by
the girl with whom she occupied iho bouse
on 1'ieicc street. She claims inut the ( .iup
ton trirl lelt homo with n young man named
Banner , who lived tu Shcnandoah , butaflor-
unriU toll in with \oung man named Miles
Scuolleld , wlio has n place in the lire do
partmcnt. Ac-coming to her storv the sul-
cldo viiis enured bv her being thrown over
board by Hcholield. The girl was commonly
known .is Lucy liuuner.
The fact thut the iwo suicides took nlnco
ul alinusl the same moment , the same drug
being used In both eises , has led to un ctTort
on the part of some to show tbut the Iwo
v.eio connected in some way. So far , however -
ever , nothinir of Ihe Kind has bc < Mi shown ,
und 11 seems lo bo simply n coincidence.

ills damocralie opponent. Judge Kzru Wil-
lard of Atlantic , held Iho sixth of their ser
ies of Joint debates at tlurlan , in tdjclby
county , in tms diilrlct , Saturday night.
Stone is one of the most popular men on
the lopublican ticket und one of the mosl
persuasive aud eloquent , speakers in Iowa ,
and his opponent is one of the ablest demo-
ciaiie orators. Their joint discussions hnvo
ineitod a great deal Of interest and this one
nt Uuilan was of exceptional interest an
both candidates are residents of tills con-
cressional districl and uell Known. The
deinociullu county convention was held in
llarlan the same ntternuon and the orern
houbo uas crowded with piominent demo
ciats and delegates from alt over the county.
The republicans turned oulm force ns well
and tbo opera hou o was crowded with an
enthusiastic audience , und neither spanker
lucked lor applause.
Judge SVllUird opened with a defenseof
the plank of the democratic platform favor-
lug Ihe repeul of Iho lax on state bnnks of
Issue. Ho hns boon forced Into this position
by the tremendous atlucks Stone has been
mailing on it throughoul Iho discussions.
Judge \Villnrd suld that it did not mean
a wildcat currency , that the leg
Ulalurcs of the different states
would pass safe la\\s on Iho subject. The
remainder of his speech was devolcd to the
tariff question und n diminution ot busts ,
\\nlch uo claimed were duo to Iho protective
sxatom.
Slono answered in nn hour and a naif
speech , ulilcli Is said by those who listened
to it to have boon ono of Iho ablest discus-
hlonb of the issues of the campaign over
made In western loua. He has the faculty
of disarming Ihe prejudices of even his po
litical opponents. Ho Impresses his audi
ence wilh tils candor and fairness nnd at the
same lime Is direct , uncompromising und
forceful. Ho carried his 'vholo uudlenco off
their feet Saturday night , especially when
ho contrasted tbo condition of iho American
farmer and mechanic with iho foreigner and
when he piled up Iho proofs of ihe liucnm
HiiKlund takes in democratic success , read

Ou.tsni'iio , III. , Oct. i' . Judge Cessna of
Hastlmts , Neb , , hits beco > spending several
days hero conferring with Mrs. Chftrlcs
Scott , whoso Bramifathf'r'lii ' 1S23 was given
by the Mexican government n grant to a
tract of 130.000 acres of land near El Paso.
.
It . is represented that this grant was given
on condition tbiil the grantee should settle a
colony ou the tract. That ho did , lived
there for two > cnrs and was then
drivnn out by an armed force. Subsequently
three succeeding grants wore given to olho'r
parlies by Iho Mexican government to one-
butt of IhU tract , while the other half has
remained all of these years unclaimed. Suit
bus been begun by the heirs of thn original
grantee to recover the entire tract , and
MM. Scott has bcon made n pirly to this
suit. The Judge asserlfc that Iho subsequent
grants do not Invalldnlo the first one and
that Iho people now In possession of Iho one-
half have never perfected their titles under
ibis government. The conlltct In the several
grants Issued by the Mexican government
prior to the lima thai Now Mexico was
ceded lo Iho United Stales nnd the posses
sion siaco ot the onc-hnlf , .Indira Cessna
says , raise some very Interesting interna
tional questions. As thn tract is nut n few
miles from El Paso , and is very fertile , it
loprescnts n larce valuo. Thu heirs of the
grantcn nro numerous , most of them living
in Missouri. Judge Cessna does not expect
those living on the ioltlod half to yield with
out a hard fight , and the question of lltle
will probably have to bo sotited by iho
United State's supreme couit The Jadgo
hns Rpcnt fcoino llmo in Mexico on tbo case
and brought with him a cony of the original
grant , which Is on record at S.uitu Fo. The
case will bo tried either ht Santa Fo or
