J.B. Taft, the well known land guide and stage man, left this morning 
with another big load of settlers for the Peavine district. 

Morgan Jellett, representing the A.E. Jarvis Co., of Toronto, is in the 
city on his way though the west looking  into the resources and financial 
standing of the country. 

Chas. K. Garey, of San Francisco is in the city on business. He 
represents a Troy (N.Y.) firm, and travels from coast to coast on both 
sides of the boarder. Mr. Garey
 is more than please with Edmonton's prospects and says it is the most 
progressive city he know of. 


Mah Lue Chung, the chinaman who was reported to have attempted 
suicide at Morinville, was brought in to the public hospital last night for 
treatment.
Mah's version is that he did not attempt to commit suicide, but that he 
received his wounds from two young men, who attempted to murder 
him and robbed him of fifty dollars. According to his story he was in the 
kitchen of the hotel, where he was employed, when two young men 
entered and seized him. One cut his throat with a carving knife, while 
the other rifled his pockets. 
The wound, though a severe one is not likely to prove fatal, and Mah'to 
recover. The police have the case in hand.
Mah Lin has been in the country about three and one half months 
coming here from Field B.C. where he owns a store and several houses.
