 Young McEachern went to the home of a neighbor Mr. Simpson, who lived two miles away, and borrowed his gun and this was the last seen ot him alive.

A search was instituted and yesterday morning the young mans dead body was found in a fence corner, about a half mile from the residence of MT. Simpson from whom the gun was borrowed In the head was horrible gaping wound made by a load of shot from the gun, entering beneath the chin and coming out through the top of the head. A large portion of the top portion of the head was torn away and the wound was a fearful one. The dead man was lying down in the fence corner with the gun on top of him. His hat was on the other side of the fence.
 The family is positive that the death was accidental, but there are others who believe that il was suicide on account of love affair

Surgery is an exact science, and the

But medicine is still in the empiricel
stage, and with the exception of half q
dozen drugs, such ms opium, quininc and

native pharniacoppia is as likely to be
profitable as tho European ono. In sur

Herein lies Tho chief danger to the pro-

constant bleeiing to which he is subjected
by his attendant hakims reduces him to q
state Of such extreme weakness that his
