A SHOCKING

Last Saturday about uhre O'Clock
in the afternoon an accident
occurred just south of town which
resulted in the death Of Bernie
Eggleston the thirteen year old
son Of Mrs William Eggleston
which once more emphasizes tho
folly Of parents allowing boys to
handle shooting irons. This boy
i'll company with Clarence Mccoy
Henry Clevenger Maurice Kelli-
her Warren and Robbie Hurlbut
started out for a hunt being we'll
supplied with gums and shooting
irons of various kinds. While on
the way they commenced playing
and sham shooting each other.
Clarence Mccoy fifteen years of
ago put the muzzle of q shot gun
to the back Of Bernie Egglestons
neck and pulled the trigger and
was Mortified to find he had killed
his playmate. It seems the barrel
contained q load which was sup
posed to be fast and many attempts
had been made to discharge same
without effect. The other boys
Immediately started for town while
young Mccoy tried to bind up the
wound with his handkerchief but
his companion was dead. The
whole charge had lodged in the
unfortunate boys neck killing him
instantly. Young Mccoy then
wrapped the body in his overcoat
and also started for help which
soon arrived and carried the cold
and lifsless form of the boy to the
home of his widowed mother.
The shooting vas purely accident
al and the father and mother of
Clarence Mccoy as we'll as himself
are deeply affected at the unfortu-
nate affair. The sympathy of the
whole community is With this
widowed mother and family in
their sad bereavement.

THE FIRST

The Daily Journal on Sunday
morning last contained . remarka-
Bile editorial on the subject of
"Party Purity" which contained
much truth and good sound sense,
but coming at the time and from
the SOURCE it did, it csn but pro-
woke q smile from all those who
are acquainted with the situation
and the object for which it was
written. Coming as it does from a
leading journal of the republican
party and on the eve of q political
campaign in which that party will
go before the people of South
Dakota with a greater number Of
apologies and explanations for the
short comings Of officials elected
by it, than can be found in the
history Of any other state in the
union, all the good wholesome
truths 80 graphically pictured
therein loose their weight and
appear absolutely ridiculous. It.
is undoubtedly true as stated by
the Journal that bad men are
liable to be elected by any party,
but we object to the Journal mis-
representing facts in it's over
anxiety to prove other parties as
bad as the republican by CHASING
B NJ Y,unley the Custer county
defaultlng treasureras q populist.
This man has always been q died in
the wool democrat and never a
populiss. This was perhaps a
mistake but one we are safe in
saying the Journal will never cor
rect. While it is true that bad
men are liable to be elected to
office by any party, it is also true
that when 9 party has been in
power for many years and is COM
posed Of rings and cliques,al trick
sters and schemers get into the par
tizin power, 81 as to be where there
is q chance to get III their work
and that such . parry is much more
liable to elect bad mon than one
long out Of power; this is the exact
position Of the republican party
iii this state at this very time.

ical party that selects as president

The exact nature OF the British request
was not made public. but its essential
feature was a request for friendly in

TO the British-Nenezuelan trouble the
British have no minister or consul In
