TRAGEDY AT HALEY.
J, 8. Whitton InAicts . Fatal Stab Il
the Abdomen Of ". II Loukes.

William III. Loukes, . rancher Of
Little Wood river and q pioneer Of
Bellevue, was fatally stabbed at
Haley Monday afternoon by ex.
county commissioner J. s. Wilton
of Logan county, in the latter's
place of business.
Loukes, who had cherished q
grudge against Wilton for some
time, went into his Office and after
a TRADE of abuse. made an attempt
to attack him, when Whitton drew
a pocket knife, and stabbed Loukes
in the abdomen, the intestines pro-
truding from the cash.
The wounded man was taken to
the Office Of Drs. Brown & Cue
where he received surgical aid and
afterwards conveyed to his mothers
home at Bellevue.
He died Wednesday morning at
3 O'Clock, death resulting from per-
itonitis and the shock combined.
Loukes was about IS years old
and besides q mother, left three
brothers and sister, Mrs. AL. Ost-
ner. Of Boise.
The funeral took place at Belle
vue Thursday.
On being informed of Loukes'
death Mr.. Wilton gave himself up
to the Sheriff, and was placed un-
der 5000 bond by Judge McFad-
den for his appearance at the pre-
Iiminary examination when it is
held.
Mr.. Whitton deeply deplores the
death of his victim, and says he had
no idea of killing Loukes, that he
had to do something to keep his as
sailant at a distance, and the only
weapon of defense that be had was
his pocket knife.
The coroner held an inquest at
Bellevue Wednesday on the remains
of Loukes and the jury rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to
his death from the effects of a knife
wound inflicted by j. S. Whitton.

Important Mining Deal.

In these days of demonetized sill.
yer and meagerly protected lead, 1t
is somewhat gratifying to be able to
confirm the report of silver-lead
mine sale. This is our pleasure
with reference to the Independence
mine in Elkhorn basin. Only
one-half interest in the mine has
changed hands, Mr.. Swanson pre-
ferring to hold and take chances
with the vendees Of the other half
Utah capitalists. The intention is
to proceed to mine and mill forth
with, and to this end the owners
are negotiating for a milling plant.
They have enlisted our fellow
townsman, and we'll known mill
wright, H. NJ. Stewart, in their SER
vice and are investigating into the
merits of various milling PROPOSE
tions. They will probably move
and utilize the former Senate Cos
concentrator at Galena, now the
property of Geo. ]. Lewis & Co.,
and with augmented facilities in
the line of later improvements will
soon have fine plant in operation.
The management, with MIR. Stewart,
examined the Senate concentration
this week with satisfaction. The
great values of the Independence
are it's large bodies of lower grade
and concentrating ores, which In
three different levels average ten
feet and upwards in thickness.

not believe that our commissioners
will act in this matter with our

us that the State should offer a re-

the execution, and had it not done
this the sentence would have been
fulfilled on July Goth last. 1t is
almost enough to make any class

that Lawson is in hiding on Lost

said he saw four hoursemen at a
distance, on lower Antelope. This

Dr.. Frank Reilly Of tho Chicago
Board Of Health has found that the
Chicagoans are living 1t too rapid
gait. They do not get enough rest
and they a. . rule. says the doctor,
work too many hours . day. Ner-
vous diseases arc predominating in
tho mortality lists. Within the
last decade the death rate has in
creased 50 per cent, in cases where
mortality was caused by ono form
or another Of nervous diseases, and
IS per cent in cases Of heart disease.
A doctor, commenting upon THE
subject, said to = reporter: "There
is more disease Of the heart and
nerves among the people Of Chicago
than we really know Of. The BIZ
cycle is getting in its work in this
respect and scorching u bound to
increase the death rate to remark
able extent for there is not the
least doubt that nervous diseases
are already being influenced BY
speeding work on wheels. Scorch-
ing on the bicycle is just about the
same as the strain upon an oarsman
in boat race.
"Then there ia tremendous ner-
vous strain upon riders who 60
through the crowded downtown
district. They are compelled to
dodge wagons. pedestrians and
cable cars. Their eyes and ears
must be alert, and they are subject
ed to a constant nervous tension
which they little realize.
Life is at too high tension in
Chicago. There cannot be the
least doubt but that the Beard of
Trade plays an important part in
the death rate, because it tends to
increase the number of nervous
diseases on account of the contin-
ued excitement to which its mem
bers are subjected. As compared
with the decade from 1851 to 1860,
the decade from 1885 to 1894 shows
an increase in the death rate from
nervous diseases of 8 per cent per
annum."
