Lying at the point of death at a local hospital, Mabel Morley, a woman of I he underworld and an attempted suicide, refuses to divulge the name 'of the man over whom she inado a fruitless attempt to end her life on one of Missoula's down-town thorough fares.

CJTulck use of a stomach pump saved her from tho deadly effects of bichloride of mercury. It is known that she has been having difficulty with the son of of Missoula's most prominent families to whom she is purported to be married, but her refusal to give the name of her paramour only deepens the mystery. Whether ho is the same man who attempted to shoot her several weeks ago, and then in court passed off the firing of the shot as the opening of a champaigne bottle, it is impossible to learn. Her death would mean the shielding of a mystery which the police are trying to clear up. MARRIAGE LICENSES Arthur B.
