ALMOST MURDER
Ben Kaluna Assaulted
With a Shovel.
Tom Mearns Welded Implement
First Struck by Kaluna.
Mearns in Jail.

What might have been a homicide oc-
CURED at the Nuuanu stream job shortly
before o'clock yesterday afternoon. As
it is, Ben Kaluna, an e&-policeman en-
ployed on the works, is at home nursing
sore head, and Tom Mearns, another
employe, is in the station house.
1t seems that while the men were shov-
cling dirt some of it splashed on Mearns
and he demonstrated with Kaluna; words
followed and a fight ensued, in which
Mearns was thrown into the water and
held there by Kaluna. Foreman Fogarty,
who was standing some distance away,
heard the disturbance and ran over in
the direction from which the noise came
When he saw how affairs were he
pushed Kaluna TO one side and got
Mearns out of the water The affair was
being quietly settled, the foreman be-
lieved, when Mearns reached over with
his shovel and struck Kaluna a violent
blow on the right side of his head just
above the ear. He dropped like an OK
and it was thought for a time that his
skull was fractured. Mr.. Rowell drove
for DR.. Day and Mr.. Fogarty stopped
the flow of blood from the wound until
the arrival of the physician, when he
was removed to a cottage in the neigh
borhood, where his wound was sewed up,
and then he was taken home. Mearns
was arrested and locked up.
While the affair was being discussed
among the men a native named Kalua-
wal became incensed at something said
strike at him. He was locked up with
Mearns and will have hearing today.

Dear Sir-Your dispatch TO Mr.. ]. y.
Lower was handed me today. find your
team has defeated US by the close margin
OF eight points, therefore did not think
il necessary to forward you the targets,
but will do so should you wish them.
Your representative, Mr.. F. H. Board
man, accompanied US to the range and
scored each shot as fired. He informed
me that he would forward the scores to
you at once, hence the reason you do not
receive them through my hands as secre-
tary of the Denver Rifle Club.
This is the first time, to my knowledge,
that the D. R. c. has been defeated, but
I don't suppose it will be the last. The
only excuse can offer is that three of
our best shots were absent on the day of
the match, namely, Colonel Denison. ].

trying our skill against you at some

A Remarkable Case.

SHELBYvILLE, ND, Dec. 1.-James Hall,
10 years old, residing miles south OF this
place, went rabbit hunting November IA with
another boy, and was accidentally shot AT
the time of the accident the barrel OF the gun
was resting obliquely across the left breast.
1t was loaded with No. 4 shot, which struck
the boy in the left breast, uncovering the lung
and cutting away the second and third RIBS,
opening hole three inches square IN the
chest cavity, through which could plainly be
seen every pulsation of the heart.
After the accident the boy walked quarter
of mile to the home of neighbor, where he
was attended FIVE hours later by two surgeons.
He never lost consciousness, though he came
near bleeding to death. Today an attempt
was made to close the hole in the chest by
covering it with silver plate. 1t was wired
to the ribs to hold the plate. as well as TO
strengthen the broken bones.
After this was done skin grating was re-
serted to cover the plate and TO fill the cavity
where the flesh and muscles were shot away.
The skin for this was alt cut from Halls body,
and he underwent the ordeal with great forti
tude. The chances are now favorable for his
recovery.
Before the operation was performed mir
ror was placed in position so the boy could
see his own heart beat.

Colossal Coercion.

The Railway Age, published at Chicago, in
its issue OF last week gave a detailed analysis
of the vote in the recent election. From it
we learn the following facts:
In all there were six hundred railway mems
sound-money clubs organized during the cam
paigu. Two hundred of these, with a mem
bership of 1000 were distributed among
twenty-three large cities, through the various
wards and precincts of which the members
were so scattered that it would be impossible
to arrive at any close estimate of their iufiu.
ence.
From $50 other club cities and towns the
returns are given in detail in comparison with
the vote of 1892 These cities aud towns in
1892 gave Democratic majority OF 1856,
which was converted in 1896 into Republi-
can majority of 1924. There was an in
crease in the total vote of l36, SOP; an increase
in the Republican vote of l47, 1866 and an
actual Democratic falling off from the vote of
four years ago of ] 1864.
The Republican net gain at 1874 points was
l60,9Sl. Deducting the Democratic gain at
the remainder of the $50 club cities and towns
the net Republican gain was 159, 230 votes.
From the last paragraph it will be seen
that net Republican gain of 100, 900 votes
represents only small fraction of the coer-
cion practiced by the railroads alone. When
we add to that the whole work done by tSa
railroads and to that the systematic and unre-
hitting bulldozing resorted to by the great
army of corporations, trusts and private manu-
facturers is it any wonder that Bryan was de-
feated? 1t is an undoubted fact that had the
people been left free to vote their sentiments
the Democratic ticket would have swept
nearly every State in the Union. And in the
face of the chrysocrats demand that we should
lay down our arms, gag our mouths and admit
that the silver cause is deadi When the peo-
Pile fully understand the frauds that were
practiced upon them in the last election it
will rouse up such passion of righteous in
dignation that to attempt to oppose them with
a gold bug ticket backed up BY coercion and
threats will be about as foolhardy as standing
in the way of an avalanche.

Big Barn Burned.

From the York (Pa.) Gazette of November ".
A fire on Thursday night last destroyed the
big brick bank barn on what is known as the
HYDE farm along the Northern Central rail-
road near the forks of theHreek, together with
sixteen head Of cattle, six mules, three horses
a miscellaneous lot of farming implements
and farm products.
The farm is owned by William H. Miller
and is about two miles out of town. II. C.
Berkheimer, dairy farmer, has been tenant
for the past two years.
About 10l O'Clock, Mrs. Berkheimer was
awakened and attracted by the bright light
and the barking of the dog. glance out
the window revealed the barn wrapped in
flames. There was no chance left to save
anything. The barn and all its contents we're
past saving and the live stock persisted in the
flames. The heat was so intense that nobody
could venture near to the structure. The.
wagon shed and corn crib and a lot of corn
fodder caught and were also consumed. The
tenants loss is 5000, partially insured.
Besides his live stock he loses 1900 bushels
of corn, 600 of oats, 300.of wheat, end l25 of
rye, three wagons. binder, a mower, all his
plows including such as corn and sulkY plows,
a threshing machine and the ordinary farm
machinery. The barn was large one and
well built. 1t was 11s feet in length and was
one of the landmarks of Springgarden town
ship. 1t was built in 1907 or 1872 and was
put mp as they put up buildings of any kind
at that time, as though they were to last for
ever. The walls were of brick and two feet
thick.
