SHOT IN THE BACK.
A Sad Accident Near Town Sum-
day Morning.
VIM. L. Davis Fatally Wounded by
John Warden.
Sad Outcome of a Daylight Hunting
Trip.

-Asad accident, resulting in the death
of Private VIM. L. Davis, of the Seven
teenth infantry, occurred at one of the
upper lakes Sunday morning. John
Warden, a comrade unwlllingly took the
life of his friend.
Before daylight the men, armed with
fowling pieces, repaired to the haunts
OF the water birds with light hearts, an.
ticipatiDg the addition of luscious duck to
the company larder and the sport Incl
dent to the b~agging of the birds.
A number of other hunters were also
on the ground, and their accounts of the
affair agree in all material points with the
lamenting Yarden's story of the tragedy.
From constant molestation the fire.
quenters of the water have become ex-
ceedingly wary of the hunters, and it is
necessary to approach the lakes stealthily.
In the gray of dawn Davis and Warden
cautiously dragged themselves through
the dew-laden grass which fringes the
basin, silently in fear of disturbing the
game, and swiftly to outstrip rival sports
men. The thought of death, except to
the birds. was far away. To you hunter,
the killing of game is not in the sense of
death dealing.
A flock of ducks rose from the ripping
water in fright. With half a dozen Others
Davis was on his feet with engine of des-
truction pointing upward. His compan-
ion was quick to follow his exam
pie. Warden must have been panic
stricken, perhaps was attacked with
hunters delirium. buck fever. When his
weapon was within range of DAVIS person
both barrels were discharged and two
loads of shot were lodged in Davis back
with fatal results.
The wound was a CHASTITY one. So short
was the distance between the gun and the
target that the shot scattered but little.
Three ribs were shattered beneath the
bloody orifice and fragments of the vic.
tim s clothing driven into the wound. The
leaden pellets discolored the blood and a
black, murky fluid slowly trickled rather
than flowed from the terrible wound.
The dying man was removed to the
post hospital without delay and every
thing possible done to relieve his suffer
ings. There was not the slightest chance
for recovery after the shot was fred, and
poor Davis passed away in great agony.
Deceased was about "a years of age,
and was quite well known in town, visit
ing the city almost daily as an ambulance
driver. He vas a native of Michigan.
His parents are still living, and he has a
wife in one of the interior towns of Da-
kota.
Warden is almost crazed with grief, and
has threatened to kill himself. Ofcourse
his plans for self destruction will be frus.
trated if military watchfulness counts for
anything.
A court Of inquiry, in civil terms a
coroner's jury, was detailed by Gen. Miz-
ner to investigate the killing. A short
session was held yesterday, and an adj
journment taken until to day, pending
the arrival of witnesses from the city.
Davis remains were inferred yesterday
afternoon.

Warm Winter Underwear.

There seems to be no doubt that
there is finally rebellion among GUS
toners against the cotton and wool
underwear which has been so long
offered us under the name of merino.
This underwear has been one of the
shams which people have patiently
endured, partly because there was
nothing better offered and partly be-
cause of the careless laundress, who
by native processes of her own, uni
formly and promptly shrunk all wool
goods past wearing limits. Manufac-
turers of the ribbed wool and wooden
silk or silk underwear, and of SAM
tary underwear, make garments which
are of fine wool, are dainty to look at
and comfortable to wear, and which
are now fitting to the figure by their
elasticity. These garments leave no
heavy creases and add no apparent
size to the figure. The choicest of

these is the silk underwear, which in
good quality begins at about SIS the
vest. When more warmth is required,
silk and wool, or pure wool are used.
The sanitary underwear, which is i'm
ported, is made with fell seams and is
not SO comfortable for this reason as
ribbed wool, although the beautiful
white and natural colored stockinet of
which it is made may be purchased
by the yard and made up at home by
hand with softer seam. AS these
seams come only on the shoulder and
in some other places and not under
the arms, they are not seriously OBJ
jectionable to every one. Very care
full instructions are issued by the
manufacturers for the washing of
these all wool and silk goods, and if
these are followed this underwear will
come out of the laundress's hands
uninjured. While there are few peo-
pie who are so extreme as to insist
on wooden pocket handkerchiefs and
wooden towels, as some of the more
fanatical advocates of wool do, there
are also few intelligent people who do
not believe that wooden or silk I'M
dergarment is the most wholesome
and comfortable clothing and that
they are not essential to health in
winter and summer. TO be whole
some and comfortable, this article
should be porous and elastic, and it
is exactly such garments that the
manufactures of the new styles of
underwear provide, and for these
reasons they have at once become
popular with sensible and fashinable
people-[Good Housekeeping.
