A Sad Mistake.

Last Friday morning, Il three sons
Of j. Is. Alexander, of Robinson, armed
themselves with guns and started up
Bear creek with intent to kill a noun
tain lion which the eldest of the boys
had previously seen on a certain hill
there. The lads were respectively.
Reese aged eleven, Jimmy aged seven
teen and John nineteen years of age.
The hunters travelled up the gulch to-
gether until they reached the noun
tain sought and John pointed out the
rock upon which the beast had appear
ed To him, but Is it was not there at
this time they resolved to search for
him. They agreed that Reese should
20 around the mountain II way
John the opposite and Jimmy would
60 directly over the summit. They
started their several ways, Jimmy went
up the hill until he reached the rock on
which the hon had been seen and there
lie sat down to rest. Reese started
around the mountain his way but had
not gone far ere lie changed his mind
and came back until he reached IL
point where the ~ottmentiOned rock
showed dimly through The bushes anu
this time his strained eye caught sight
of a movement of life thereon. His
only thought was OF mountain lions
and the movement on the rock excited
him to the highest pitch. He drew up
his gun and fired four shots in quck
succession. The first shot struck his
brother in the neck and he fell forward
on his face behind the rock the re-
manning shots struck the rock each
within a few inches Of the others. The
lad proved himself an excellent shot
but to his sorrow. AS Oon as the ex-
plosions reverberated though the air
Reese started for home as rapidly as
his legs would carry aud John thinS-
ing that the game had been found re-
traced his steps until he came within
sound of the groans of the wounded
boy, who, when be was found, remark
ed, some body has shot me-" John
placed the sufferer III as comfortable a
position as possib bic and then followed
MS unlucky brother home at equal
speed. He was met at the door by his
little sister who shouted "Reese shot
the mountain lion!" To which John
sadly replied, "Reese's mountain lion
was brother jimmy" A conveyance
was Immediately provided and the
wounded lad was taken home as quick
ly as possible. The shooting occurred
at about ten O'Clock in the morning
but owing to the roughness of the roaC
and the painful nature of the wound
the day was we'll advanced re home
was rescued and a physician sent for.
Drs. Haskell and Blum responded
Immediately to the call. Their exam
ination showed that the ball had enter
ed on the left side of the neck midway
between the shoulder and head that i
had passed in front of the spinal col
umn touching it lightly and come oul
on the opposite side close to the shoul
der. The ball when it entered the
flesh had a strong upward range. the
shot having been fired up the hill. but
its contact with some impeachment
probably the tendrons beside the bone
had detected it to a downward course

a board fence, was found in the boy

The Festival Concert.

Richmond will be specially favored by
the visit OF Theodore Thomas and his CON-
pany of artists at Armory Hall, April 30,
1884. Materna, the soprano, created the
greatest parts OF Wagner's operas. She
first visited America two years ago, sing
ing in the great festivals of New York,
Cincinnati, and Chicago, under the direc-
ton of the renowned Thomas. She re-
turned to Beyreuth, Germany, the seat of
the " Music OF the Future" TO sing under
Richard Wagner's direction in connection
with Winkelman. and Scaria, her visit to
America being necessarily shortened. The
tenor, Winkelman, created the part.Parsi-
fall, in the opera OF the same name, and
Scaria, the basso, IS equally celebrated.
These sOloists comprise the most ceebra-
ted trio now living.
The programme for the concert OF the
Both Of April opens with the popular We'd
ding March, and while the music is CLASH
cal the superb rendition will convey to the
audience continually new beauties and
pleasures.
The Richmond Choral Union, as directed
by Mr.. Charles j.. Siegel. deserve much
credit for the enthusiastic manner In which
they have met and conquered the difficult
ties OF Wagner's music. What with the
well.tirilled chorus of 900 fresh voices and
Thomas's enlarged orchestra and the fam
ous Wagner singers, our city willhave mu-
sic festival worthy Of the name. 1t will be
fitting precursor to more extended feast
OF music a year hence. 1t Is gratifying
that the citizens are responding so literally
TO the call for subscriptions. The cheap
excursion rates on the railroads will bring
many visitors. The hotels, approaching
this, have reduced the rates for that occa-
sion.
