A. D. HUBBARD SHOT AT.
Says Some One Tried to Assassinate
Him One Night This Week.

. a d Hubbard, state president of the
A p A, who has been under a cloud
for some time because of an alleged
shortage in his accounts as receiver of
the Hamilton Printing company. tells
a thrilling story of an attempt at as
Sass1natiOn made Wednesday evening
Ton Heights
Mr.. Hubbard has been very sick for
several months and he still walks on
clutches 1t was about II O'Clock and
me moon was shining bright when
ne went out into the yard. He was
hobbling toward the house on his
crutches when he says he was startled
Dy pistol shot He felt something
craze against his side and in an in
slant there was another report, and as
he turned around he saw man run
ming through the bushes.
In his crippled condition he says he
was unable to follow the assassin, who
escaped before the alarm could be
given. Mrs. Hubbard, who was in the
mouse, heard the shots fired and ran into
The yard, but she was not in time to see
the person who did the shooting.
The first bullet struck Mr. Hubbard
on the right side and passed through
his clothing, barely grazing the skin. It
was ball of large caliber and was
fired from close range. The second shot
1lew wide Of the mark.
Mr.. Hubbard says he can give no clue
to the man who fired the shot at him,
but he is satisfied that it was the pllr-
pose of his assailant To kill him. Mr.
Hubbard says that tracks of the man
who did the shooting were plainly visi-
bic in the morning and they We're care
fully measured.
Many of Mr. Hubbard's A P A
friends who have stood by him during
all his trouble declare that the attempt
at assassination was made by some
enemy of the A. P. A
There are others who are not so char
liable and who think that the shots
were fired by Mr. Hubbard himself for
the purpose OF arousing sympathy. but
the position of the holes in the clothing
indicate that 1t would have been i'm
possible for him to have fired the shot
that struck him. The ball struck about
midway between the shoulder and the
hip and came from the rear.
L S. Curtis, who lives about a block
distant, heard the shooting but sup
posed that il was some one shooting at
a dog. The alarm was not given that
night

If Samson's digestion had been out of
order, and his blood impure, there would
probably have been a different story to tell
about the lion. Men, nowadays, do not or
dinarily have to wrestle with lions But
there are business problems to struggle with
and business difficulties to overcome that
are calculated to test their strength and en-
durance fully as much if not more than the
lion did Sa1nSOn's. A man to be successful
must be in good physical condition. This is
as true of the man who works with his mind
as of the man who works with his muscles.

hand to Abraham Lincoln and detect

repugnance or shrinking from the prof.

riority, or betrayal of disdain-'
Frederick Douglas, the orator and
patriot, is credited with saying; Mr..
Lincoln is the only white man with
whom have ever talked, or in whose
presence have ever been, who did not
consciously or unconsciously betray to
me that he recognized my color
George Bancroft, the historian, al
luding to this characteristic, which was
never so conspicuously manifested as
during the darker days of the war,
beautifully illustrates it in these MEM
orable words: AS child, in a dark
night, on rugged way, catching hold
of the hand of its father for guidance
and support, Lincoln chung fast to ths
hand Of the people and moved calmly

SMART COYOTE TRICK.
Sheep CIsveriy Herded to the Brink of .
PrecipIce.

Sheep Clsveriy Herded to the Brink of .
PreoipIce.
An incident in illustration of smart
trick said to be frequently played by
coyotes in securing food from among
the herds of sheep on western ranches
10 related by rancher of Grant county,
Oregon. He had a herd of about l.
900 sheep, and recently missed large
number. In searching for them q
herder found three sheep lying on the
brink OF a precipice, their throats
marked with the teeth of a coyote. He
made his way to the bottom, canyon,
800 feet below, and there found the
bodies of ITO sheep, or rather parts Of
their bodies, for the coyotes had been
feeding on the carcasses for a week or
more. From other incidents of like
character IL was concluded that several
coyotes had got among the herd when
the sheep were driven off their bedding
during a storm, and had herded them
to the brink of the precipice, much as q
lot Of sheep dogs would drive sheep.
When the edge was reached the coyotes
pressed the herd so hard in the rear
that the 10 at the front either jumpei
or were pushed over the precipice.

No Unit Rule For Them.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, June 25.-
The silver mens in the Wisconsin

posed by the state convention

They say that IL the convention
doss not insist upon the unit rule

convention, and point to the fact
that the convention refused to &C.
cept the unit rule made by some OF
the counties. Having violated the
rule the delegates say the conven-
ton cannot object to similar treat
ment. The result will be to take
Wisconsin out Of the cold gold
