HLEcTuRE on GEORGE ELIorN\
Mr.. Beckford Delivers an Interesting
Lecture on the Celebrated Woman.

At the meeting Of the Wednesday after
noon literature class at Mr.. Beckford's
school. last week, the subject of the lee
turc was George Eliot; and among other
things the speaker said
ain our time the unfoundcd dictum that
woman could not gain prc-cminence in
the realm of imaginative and creative art
has been forever annuled. After Shake
spcare George Eliot stands among the very
first of those who have perpled the shadow

left the world the richer by creations most
worthy of perennial youth
Born November :.2nd. 1919. in Derby

George Eliot spent tine quiet days of
childhood amid those rural scenes which
held 50 tender place in her memory and

KILLED HIS BROTHER.
salubria Citizen.


Elmer and Ellsworth Gibson, two
brothers, left their home on Crane
creek Monday morning OF this week
to spend the day on the range in
search of stock. They took with them
a rife that had only one cartridge in
its magazine and itappears they both
wanted to discharge this cartridge.
They were about three miles from
home; Ellsworth had the gun in his
possession and Elmer's desire to have
and discharge the gun got beyond
his control and in attempting to wrest
it from his brothers grasp, by some
means the gun was accidentally dis
charged, the ball entering Elmer s
body just belew the left nipple and
passing through the heart. The
horses, being frightened by the report,
gave quick bound forward ana El-
mer fell backwards to the ground.
The horses ran some distance before
Ellsworth got the one he was riding
under control. He Immediately re-
turned to where his brother lay and
found him dying. He remained with
HIM but a moment, thinking him
dead, when he fastened to the near
est house for help to convey him
home. Upon the arrival on the scene
OF the tragedy of the parties who con-
vey ed the remains of the deceased to
his home, it could be seen that the
body had moved about six or eight
feet from where it had first fallen.
thus proving that Ellsworth was mis-
taken in his supposition that life was
extinct when he left his brothers
body to procure help. The last spark
of life had now gone out and the
body was wrapped in the cold, unre-
leating embrace of death. There re-
NAMED nothing to be done but to re-
move the body to the home of the
deceased, which was done at once.
At the home the grief and sorrow
created by the sad news and arrival
OF the body was such as is seldom
witnessed. The father is away IN
Oregon and the mother was just re-
covering from long spell OF sickness
and as she and the rest of the family
gathered around the lifeIess form of
their son and brother it was indeed
sad, sad scene. The brothers were
always the best of friends and highly
respected by all. The remains were
inferred in the Salubra cemetery.
The bsreaved family have the heart
felt sympathy OF the entire communi-
ty.

Young Hairs Father states HI. side
OF the Case
OLA, Boise Co, Nov. 2sth.

OLA, BOISE Co, Nov. 18th.
ED. WoRLD:-There has been a
shooting affair here that is rather sad
Tor US, of which will give you the
particulars. About two weeks ago a
son-'n-law OF Mr.. Pinegart came up
to High valley aud laid around Pine
garts for week, when they fred
him. They supposed that he left the
country, but he had stopped at the
place OF my son James, at Big
Springs, about two miles from the
Liberty mine. He told James that
he had falling out with the Pinegart
family, and he did not want them to
know where he was. Meanwhile he
lodged passing people-did not want
to be seen. He told James that he
was making sale of some property
t. men at the Liberty mine. lie left
and remained away all day on the
25th, but returned in the evening
with his feet blistered. We have
since learned that he was down to
Sweet postoIfice, where he borrowed
an old cap aud ball six-shooter, with
which he said he wanted to kill some
grouse at his camp in the mountains.
That is the gun he did the shooting
with about midnight of the 26th.
James saws that he was Ivlng with
his face to the wall, asleep, when the
villain did the work. He says he
came to his senses calling. Me-
Crary, who did the shooting, was
gone. James got up, ran to the door
and saw the villain coming to the
house from the stable. He begged
of James not to think that he had
done 1t; that two men had him out
there and had been stamping him.
aud that he was badly bruised. James
remained awake the remainder of the
night watching him, fearing that
should he again go to sleep the man
would murder him. After sunrise
McCrary left, taking lunch with
him.
James thinks that his frightful vel
ing scared the villain, who left the
house to wait for him to die before
committing robbery.
James was shot in the back of the
head, pretty high up, and we think
the ball glanced down and lodged
below the brain. The pistol was so
close that James hair and the pillow
were burned. After leaving the
house McCrary was seen passing the
Liberty mine on foot. He is a worth
less fellow and has nothing-is
worthless tramp. His full name is
William Heury McCrary, and for
merly lived twelve miles north of
Boise City. A. S. HALL.
