The fraudulent wagon road land
grants i'll Oregon are at last likely to
be cancelled. These grants were
made years ago by the government
to companies who agreed to build the
roads. Although the companies have
got title to and sold thousands of
acres of land, the roads were never
built. The last attempt to build any
road was made last spring in Malhuer
county. Oregon, when force of 800
Cinnamon were employed few weeks
on the road to Albany. About g.
100000 acres were originally granted
and the companies have received title
from the government to over 100000
acres, most Of which is fraudulent.

The state of Kansas is pretty well
underlaid with coal; but it may not
save the people from fuel famines.
One company has lately gobbled up
1000 acres of the best coal lands in
the state. 1t is apparently trying to
get the whole Territory. Then a
coal trust will be next in order, and
consumers will suffer.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.


J. l.. G. Smith, proprietor of the
Warm Springs on Wood River, was
shot and killed by his wife last Mon
day afternoon, at their residence in
HALEY. The following particulars
are taken from the News Miner, and
condensed:
On entering the room, where the
tragedy occurred, the spectators saw
Mr.. Smith lying on his back beside
She lounge on the north side of the
little apartment. The left side of
the head was mangled, and rested in
pool of blood, partially clotted.
Portions OF the skull and brain lay
scattered about on the floor, the
lounge and the wall. Two pieces OF
the skull, about half as large as
hand, we're among the portions on
the floor One piece lay at his feet,
and another between the body and
left arm. The hat was spattered
with brains, with ono bullet hole in
the front part and one in the back
part. Indications were that the ball
entered the forehead above tho left
eye and came out at the back part Of
the heed, ranging slightly upward.
Leaning against the casing of the
open door was the rife. Mrs. Smith
went to the house Of John West, the
nearest neighbor, about four o'clock,
and wanted him to arrest her husband.
He advised her to go to the proper
officer. She went back to the house,
and shortly after Mr. West heard the
shot, and saw Mrs. Smith come out
aud 60 toward the school house.
There are in the family living in
Haley three sons and ono daughter,
the eldest young man, Willie, about
IL years of age. Pitt and Charlie
Smith are sons Of Mr.. Smith by a
former wife.
Willie Smith was present when the
shot was fred. He stated that his
father had been abusing his mother
for all hour or two previous to the ia
tai shot. He had interfered two OF
three times to keep peace. Finally
his father, in a fit Of rage, advanced
menaolngly to strike his mother, and
before he could interfere she raised
the rifle and shot him. He told the
spectators standing around tho body
that his mother shot in self-defense
And that before shooting she remark
ed that she had stood his abuse fol
sixteen or seventeen years, aud coult
stand 1t no longer. He remarked
that it was bard thing to say, ant
the sight before him d hard one Il
see, but he justified his mothers deed
On leaving her home, Mrs. Smitl
came down town and entered Werth
heimer's store, in quest of Dr. Fig
gins, whom she wanted TO do every
thing possible for her husband. Sh
:hen went to the District Attorney
Office and told what she had done, an,
the reasons therefor, which are sub
stantially the same as have alread
been given. She was in tears, an,
appeared to be greatly agitated.
Smith was about fifty years Of age
He formerly resided on More creek
on the Boise City road, in this coun
~, with his family, and went t
Wood River in 1881.
He has been member OF Kisin,
