year-old son of George II. Wyman, sup.
erintendent of the Checkmate. The
lad with his elder brother, George
ID years old, was about two miles from
home hunting rabbits. He saw a rab-
Bit and called to his brother to hand
him the gun. George handed him the
weapon, shotgun, muzzle first. Clar-
ence took it by the barrel. He noticed
it was cooked and attempted to push if
to one side, as the stock caught on a
rock. The gun was discharged and the
charge was sent through the little fell
lows arm above the elbow. The shot
did not strike the bone but cut away a
section of the muscle on the back part
of the arm and severed the artery.

would die if the flow of blood was not
checked. He knotted his handkerchief
around the arm above the wound and
nearly stopped the flow. The boys then
started for home the wounded lad
walked the entire two miles. The ac-
cident had occurred about o'clock.

little all the time and having nearly
Slapped the life of the victim. Clarence

o'clock. The doctor effectually checked

hoped he would pull through. If he
RECEIVERS he may have q stiff arm, but

WILL LOCATE IN SPOKANE
Gov. Mcdonnell to Open a Large Dry
Goods House There.
The Spokesman Review of last Fri
day contained the following:
eek Governor w. J. Mcconnell of
Idaho is in the city, from his home in
Moscow, with the intention of securing
a location for large wholesale and re.
tail dry goods establishment which he
and some eastern friends are shortly
to establish in Spokane.
yesterday he opened negotiations
with Arthur D. Jones for the lease of
the ground floor of the brick block soon
to be erected On the corner of Riverside
avenue and Lincoln street. The build
ing Mr.. Jones is to erect will have
frontage of 100 feet on Riverside av-
enue and 80 feet on Lincoln street.
If we close the lease said Governor
Mcconnell yesterday we will occupy
the full floor space and the establish
ment will not be a small one.'
at is understood that the Governor
will be the chief owner and one of the
principal men in the business. He said
yesterday that it is not his intention to
move to Spokane Immediately as he
desires to complete the education Of his
children at Moscow, the University at
which place he considers one of the
finest educational institutions in the
west"
This confirms the report in last weeks
Star. AS one of the pioneer merchants
in Moscow, Governor Mcconnell
achieved distinguished success. The
town is indebted to him for its most
pretentious business edifice and for its
largest and most elaborate residence.
Had he not forsaken business for poll
tics he might still have held COM
handing position in the local CONNER
cial world. Six or eight years of expe-
rience in the pursuit Of politics has
probably taught him, as it has most
others, that even its successes are fail
ures. The avenues of private business
lead to the most satisfying results, and
il this new enterprise wishes for the
Governors highest success will be
literally extended by the people of this
community.-Moscow Star.
