SHOT HIS Fla HER.
John Withers Jr., Shoots Colonel John
Withers Thinking He Was a Burglar.

A very sad and distressing affair &C.
Cured at Colonel John Withers' resi-
dence on South Laredo street this morn
ing about o'clock, in which Colonel
Withers was innocently shot and
wounded by his son, John, who mis-
took his father for burglar.
From young Withers' statement of the
affair. and which is corroborated by Col
onel Withers and inmates of the house.
the following is taken. He said the
ladies of the house were awakened about
3 O'Clock q. m, and seeing the figure of
a man in the back yard began screaming
burglars ~ Their screams awOke
young Withers, who, hearing the cries
of the ladies and seeing the figure of a
man walking rapidly toward him. seized
his pistol and fired quickly, when the
man was about lG yards away from him.
The young man did not know ii was
his father he had shot until the old gen.
tlemau fell, saying, "Y GU have shot your
father" All the assistance possible was
Immediately given the Colonel, and
when DR.. +. Herff was summoned he
found the bail, 45-calibre, had passed
entirely through the ColonePs shoulder,
breaking the shoulder blade and passing
Just above the heart. While the wound
is not necessarily fatal, it is dangerous,
as Colonel Withers is old and the weather
is not favorable to the healing of gum
shot wounds. 1t is stated that when the
ladies began screaming, Colonel Withers
did not call out, but came more rapidly
to the house, no doubt believing that
burglars were In the house. Had he
spoken in time, or had young Withers
called to him to halt ere he fired, this sad
affair would not have happened.

WIRED TO DEATH.
Fatal Accidents, by Telegraph, Among

faUdl AcCluenUS, Dy Telegraph, Among
the Birds in England.
OF the orthodox bird, as Sidney
Smith called the pheasant, it is in some
places very common victim. l think
| could pick out one stretch of railway
which, at certain seasons of the year,
produces for the surfaceman who goes
along it in early morning a never-fail-
ing supply of wounded and dead birds.
On one side of the railway Is a long
belt of plantation, where the birds are
turned into after being hand-reared; on
the other side river, with corn-fields
stretching down to it; and it is in the
passage from the covers to the corn
fields, when the grain is ri pc or stand
ing in stock, that the accidents occur
Partridges also often fall victims to the
wires. as also did the red grouse where
the telegraph crossed their native
heaths. In more than one instance have
the wires been laid underground. where
crossing grouse moors, to prevent the
birds killing themselves; butte when
crossing these moors in the usual style
from post to post, grouse after a time
get to beware of them, and deaths
through this cause get fewer and fewer.
One instance of this peculiar adapta-
ton of themselves to new circum-
stances came very forcibly under the
writer's notice. A wire fence was put
across very good grouse moor in
Cumberland, dividing the fell into two
allotments. For some time after this
was done, dead or dying birds were
picked up daily, until it was well known
that whoever was first along the fence
was sure of grouse pie. 1t was anus
ing to see the different strategems en-
ployed by shepherds and others to get
along the fence without seeming to do
so. Indeed, have seen two farmers
meet at the ''Townfoot'' and, after a
short gossip separate, gong in differ
ent directions and away from the fell;
and an hour after l have heard of them
meeting about the middle of the fence,
both intent on dead or wounded birds.
While for some time this slaughter of
grouse went on, another fellow put in
an appearance, this time with four legs,
and made track by the side of the
fence to replenish his lardcr; and Mr.
Stoat had even the temerity to dispute
the claim in one instance with the two
legged hunter. But the grouse in time
got to know the dangers of the fence,
and now the victims are few.-AH the

TEN O'CLOCK LINES.
An Indian way of Fixing Boundaries OF
Grants to White Men.


Grants to White Men.
''That's a ten o'clock lne." said an
old gentleman putting his finger on a
delicate line on one of the Grand Pacific
maps.
"What in creation is ten o'clock
line?" chorused two young companions
as they traced the line in question from
near the mouth of the Miami river
northwest through Indiana.
1T was the boundary of an Indian
grant-a kind of natural way of survey
ing. Twas down with party once to
ratify treaty by which tribe agreed
to cede some territory to the whites. 1t
was a small matter, but it was a big
occasion with the savages. Every
thing was ready. The surveyor had
his compass and telescope and had
mounted them on tripod. The head
man of the tribe came up, looked
steadily at the instrument for awhile,
grunted, and returned to the circle
around the council fire. Not a word
was spoken. Soon another Indian got
up, walked sedately to the instrument.
gravely examined, then grunted, and
in silence returned to his place by the
fire. This example was followed by
half dozen other bucks Then they
held short consultation, and the head
man arose and came over to the white
men.
That what Indian know, he said,
drawing a small circle on the ground
with stick, that what white man
know, he continued, drawing larger
circle around the first. This what
nobody know, he concluded, pointing
to all without the last circle. white
man know that pointing to the in
struments; Indian no know it. Indian
know the sun. Him never cheat. Him
always same. Him throw shadow.
Indian give white man land one side
shadow and keep other side After
big pow-wow it was decided that line
drawn in the direction of the sun which
would cast shadow from an agreed
point at ten o clock should be made
the boundary of concession, the white
man taking the land on the one side
and the Indian keeping that on the
other. The other boundaries of the
concession were those of the original
territory of the tribe, supplemented by
watercourses and other natural objects.
These lines were frequently used and
became known as ten o'clock lines. ~

TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE.
Why No Man in a Position of Trust Should
BE Allowed to Go Unmatched.

Why No Man in a Position of Trust Should
BE Allowed to Go Unmatched.
One of the reasons for the numerous
detalcations that have caused such
widespread dismay may be found in the
fact that as business people we are
wont to place too much confidence in
men holding responsible positions. We
are willing to take them at the valua-
tons they put upon themselves, with
out stopping to inquire whether we
have any real ground for this or not
This is very busy world, and it
seems to grow buster every year. Peo-
pie in the wild rush of competition,
nowadays, have hardly time to think,
and if man or certain set of men
assert that an individual is competent
and honest we are willing to believe
this statement without further exami-
nation. 1t saves time and trouble, we
are apt to think, though it often does
neither in the end, and sometimes leads
to woful loss of money, and a conse-
quent deprivation of the peace of mind
without which life is not very sweet.
No man, however great he may be,
is above suspicion or temptation, and
he should not be allowed to go I'M
watched. Because he has never yield
ed to the tempter there is no certainty
that he may not be overcome in mo-
ment of weakness. Some time the re-
gard for human respect, which has for
time kept him upright, may prove
his downfall. A fear to face the world
as poor or an unsuccessful man may
lead him to borrow without leave to
save his name and credit, until he
loses all in the inevitable crash.
Though outwardly we may seem
very different, yet inwardly we all
have the elements of good and evil in
our natures, and no man can say that
the bad may not get the better of him
in some moment, when the conscience
is stlled by the thought that a temper
airy difficulty may be bridgcd over by
slight deviation from the path of
strict integrity.
There is no doubt that we throw
temptation in a mans way by trusting
him too implicitly. Ii we lose by him
under such circumS tances we can
blame ourselves, in some degree at
least for the loss, for we have placed
no checks upon him. Boston Budget.
