BOY Killed by n Cougar.

Ed McCrum, of the Bruneau valley
in town recently, informed the Dem
ocrat that a boy, eight years of age,
was killed by mountain lion, or cou-
gar, about two weeks ago. His par
ents, Taylor by name, lived on the
upper Bruneau. The little fellow
was engaged in cutting wood in the
morning, when the cougar sprang out
of the brush that fringes the stream
and seized him. The father, who was
near by and witnessed the scene,
rushed into the house, got his gun,
and shot the animal dead as it held
the boy in its embrace. Before this
was accomplished, the boy was dead
Cougars are unusually numerous over
there this season, and have killed
many calves on the range, where they
could get one at any time without OPP
position. 1t was considered singular
that these naturally shy animals should
approach the habitation of man for
prey when certainly not actuated by
hunger. The manner of the boys
death under the circumstances is
without parallel Democrat.

Attempted suicide.

Sunday morning about Z o'clo *,
the city was startled by the report
that Mr.. Charles Granholm, a well
known citizen of Boise, had attempt
ed to take bis own life by blowing
out lis brains, and an investigation
into the matter developed the correct
ness Of the report.
Dir. Granholm has lived in Boise
for about twelve years past, and has
been engaged in the saloon business
until quite recently, when he sold out.
tie has some property in this city,
and in his business dealings has al
ways been upright and prompt. No
cause for his rash act is known. and
no lntimation that he premeditated
such deed was given. About half
past 6 o'clock Sunday morning Mr..
Granholm, John Morden, Tom Man
pin and Ben Anderson were in the
Exchange saloon and Mr.. GranhoIm
left the room to go to the back part OF
the building where he had his room.
and a few minutes later Ben Ander-
son heard shot, and looking through
a window of bis room saw Mr.. Gran
holm lying on the bed with his head
covered with blood. He at once sum
moned the other gentlemen and a
doctor was sent for, and an examina-
ton into the nature of the wound in
fiicted was made. 1t was discovered
that he used 44-caliber pistol of the
bulldog pattern and had placed the
muzzle to his ear and fired. The pis.
toi had very hard action, and the
force required to fire it evidently
threw the muzzle upward, and the bal
struck a glancing blow, blowing be-
tween the skull and scalp, coming on,
at the top of his head. The wound

fatal, though had the shot fired been
direct one, death must have instan.
taneonsly ensued. As it was, the ball
struck him in the ear, badly lacerat-
ing that member, then it struck and
fractured the skull; but its upward
tendency saved his life, as the brain
was not penetrated. Yesterday Mr.
Granholm was resting easily, and his
speedy recovery is anticipated.

The New York Tribune saws edi-
torially: The persons circulating re-
ports about the country to the effect
that Gen. Grants remains will ultim-

not engaged in creditable work.
There is not the slightest foundation
for such reports. The dead hero ex-
pressed no desire to be buried in
Washington, and his family is well
satisfied with the site they chose for
his tomb, and are pained over the
