The rainfall noted at Walford, On-
tario, on last Saturday Of six and one
quarter inches in single afternoon, is
certainly phenomenal for that quarter
of the world, though there are points
where such downpour as this would
not be deemed at all extravagant. In
Honduras the annual rainfall is 1913
inches, while Singapore, In the Malay
peninsula, can discount this with an
annual rainfall of 100 inches. OF all
points on the globe, however. the rain
lest is Cherrapongee, in India, where
the heavens contribute to the earth S
fertility to the astonishing extent Of
61O inches of rain every year.

A Fatal Shooting Scrape.

A fatal shooting scrape occurred
this morning about five miles southwest
Of town, which resulted in the killing
of Julius Muret, rad wounding of Ira
NJ LindIey, VIM. Kirchival. KirchivaI
came in town about 8 o'clock this morn
ing in company with c. G. Clounch and
gave himself up to Sheriff Sughrue, and
told what he had done. Drs. Parks
and Taylor, in company with Deputy
Sheriff Andy Wade, went to the scene
of action. Our reporter, in company
with Chas. Graham, was soon on the
ground where the difficulty occurred,
and found the dead man laid out on a
bed and the wounded man suffering con-
siderably with an ugly wound in his
left arm.
No preliminary hearing has been had
and the coroner's inquest will be had
this afternoon, so we cannot give the
particulars of the affair. But it seems
the difficulty arose over ''claim"
which both parties wanted. This morn
ing Julius Muret. Ira NJ. Lindley. C.
&. Clounch and William Kirchiyal met
on the disputed claim when difficulty
arose, during which Kirchival drew his
revolver, 81 calibre, and shot Muret
twice in the breast, one ball entering
the breast, killed him instantly. He
then shot Lindley in the arm, near the
elbow. The doctors were unable to
find the ball, but. after carefully exam
lining the wound, think that it is not
necessarily dangerous.
The deceased was about IS years old
and leaves wife and two small chill
dren. CLARK Comfy Chief

A CURIOUS KINK.

A few days ago representative of
the firm of G.. r. Wickwire & Co., of
Chicago, called on our business men
for their card in a Merchants and
Manufacturer Bulletin which he
proposed to publish for the benefit Of
this town and Of Humboldt, Moran,
Neosho Falls, Toronto and one or two
other neighboring towns. The "Bul-
letins" have arrived and they are Gu
riosity. So far as we were able to Oh
serve, not single town was accurate
~ represented. The lola Mineral Well,
Ellis & Ireland, Kreuter & Kreuger,
A. &. Gilmore, The Elevator Roller
Mills, Cummings & Jones and the Ne
osho Valley Land Agency, were all
credited to Humboldt. Some of our
other business firms had strayed over
to Toronto. The Moran Herald was
published at Genev and so on through
the list. And yet more than q hum
dred business men had paid their good
dollar in advance, for their little card
i'm this Bulletin This is only an
other instance where men have allow
ed themselves to be gulled by irrespon-
sible advertisers. 1t is a singular thing
that business men will so often trust
and patrOnize stranger when they
would give no encouragement whatev-
er to one whom they know. A little
over year ago a Mr.. Mcintyre came
into lola with a scheme for making
school book covers" He represented
to the business men that he would
have their advertisements printed on
ten thousand heavy MANILA book COW
ers, and that these covers would be
placed in every school in the county.
On those representations about Is of
our firms paid him S. each in advance.

We note these facts, not in
