Accidentally Shot Himself With a
FOrty-Five Calibre Revolver.
DIED IN EIGHT HOURS.
Sad Accident Happened Three Miles From
Weiser. Boy was about Seventeen.

One of the most deplorable acci-
dents occurring here for long time
was last Thursday, when the oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh Everitt
lost his life through the accidental
discharge of large revolver.
AS near as can be learned the boy
was working for Butterfeld and was
irrigating in the field. Having occa-
sion to 60 to the house, he took down
large revolver saying he would
shoot crane. Shortly after the re-
port of the fire arm was heard but no
attention was paid to it until the
young man failed to appear for sup
per, then Mr. Butterfeld went out to
look for him and found him lying
face down. Turning him over But
terfield asked him what WAS wrong
and the boy replied that the gun had
gone off and that be, was shot
Butiertield brought the hack and
hauled him to the house the move
ment of the vehicle causing hin
great pain. Butterfeld then came tt
town for physician stopping ant
telling the boys folks that he hat
been hurt and the father and siste
went over to the Butter6eld place
DR.. Shirley went down and found thu
unfortunate boy mortally wounded
and beyond his aid. The ball en-
tered below the abdomen and range'
upward doing fatal work. Death oc
Cured at 2 O'clock the followin
morning. On Saturday the remain
we're inferred in the Weiser cemetar
attended by many friends and syn
pathyzers of the stricken family.

the argument proceeded with. Har-
ris was evidently i'll at ease and fear
ed the impression that might be made
by the opposing counsel, (Mr. Stearns
is quite handsome man dressed
much more neatly than the average
Weiser lawyer) and this found vent
in direct reference to his opponent,
Frank going so far as to open with a
statement to the jury that he knew
the opposing counsel to be married
man with children-that the latter
had told him 30. AS five of the
jury were sober married women, on
lockers thought this uncalled for on
the part OF Harris.
At $50 the jury retired for delib'
Grafton, and the public could only in
dulge in conjectures as to the ami
mated discussion Of legal points tina

case to the jury in regular dude style,
but alas, such hopes were doomed to
disappointment as a change of venue
was taken to judge Newman's court.
Sheriff Kerfoot duly summoned q
number of our most intelligent ladies
and the selection of the jury began,
and was observed with much interest.

the case?"

"Upon what grounds do you base

"Nothing, have heard nothing
about the case, but have formed al

Another stated that she had formed
such an opinion that she did moi
think she could try the case fairly
and was excused. Some are mear

Interesting topic for Wcisey Ladies'
in this go-ahead town last Monday,
and furnished a most interesting top
ic for Weiser Ladies.
AS indicated by the testimony CIV
en- at the trial, the material features
leading up to the event were as fol-
lows:
Mrs. George L. Smith had done
sewing for Mrs. Abshire for which
Mrs. A. was to give Mrs. S. some
fruit jars in payment. Mrs. Smith
on a certain day went to Mrs. Alb
shire's place of abode after the jars,
and was informed by the latter that
the jars had been given away. Mrs
Smith, determined to have something
as a recompence, proceeded to cab
bage onto tea kettle, frying pal
and two fiat irons in lieu of the jars
Mrs. Abshire attempted to preven
the removal of the property, where
upon she was slapped by Mrs. Smith
whereupon Mrs. Abshire proceeded
to Weiser and had Mrs. Smith ar
rested for assault, whereupon it wa
considered meet that jury of womel
should try the case.
The case was first brought befor
Judge Mitchell and the town was O

SHE WAS TRUSTFUL.
Never Thought of the Mans Honesty
Until She Had Her Hat.


Until She Had Her Hat.
A middle-aged woman came through
the gate at one of the railway stations
the other afternoon with a crowd OF
passengers from a train which had just
arrived, says the Washington Post. She
wore a gray gown and she carried a
small bag; a fur cape hung over her
arm, but her head was bare. She did
not remember the fact until she had
passed the wicket. Suddenly she
clapped her hand to her head.
Good gracious!" she exclaimed.
Here, hold thesel" and finging the
bag and cape into the hands of an as
tonished young man, who happened to
be standing near, she plunged through
the crowd and ran back to the train.
Presently she emerged, her hat on her
head, smile of perfect content on her
face, smile which failed the moment
she set foot on the platform again. She
fairly galloped through the gate, and
looked wildly about for her fur cape
and her travelling bag The astonished-
looking young man was still holding
them. The middle-aged woman pos
sessed herself of her belongings Then
she gave a sigh of relief.
MY land" she said, with feeling.
suppose you hadn't been honestl" and
the crowd swallowed her up.

ROPES INSTEAD OF BELTS.
English system Adopted by Big
American Cotton MiII.


Not a little interest has been created
among manufacturers of textiles by
the improved mechanical equipment
introduced in the new Whitman mills,
New Bedford Mass. The engines are
pronounced remarkable in every re-
spect. They are of the upright type,
totally unlike anything in use in Amer
lean cotton mills, are said to show great
efficiency, and, though so ponderous,
are run more quietly than three-fourths
of the engines of the mills of the coun-
try. The engines are characterized by
the peculiar distinction of having an
open rope drive, feature which has at
tracted considerable attention, says the
New York Sun.
The face of the driving wheel is about
nine feet and is cut in grooves some
four inches from center to center.
The ropes sink into these grooves and
are covered with a preparation made
Tor preserving them, the covering to be
appieds say, once year. Cotton is the
material of which these ropes are made.
and, although they have been run
steadily for more than a year. no
trouble has been thus far experienced.
and the drive is pronounced the most
nearly noiseless one that has ever been
devised. One point of preference ex-
pressed in favor of this arrangement
is that in damp weather the drive acts
so differently from the ordinary belt
ing inasmuch as it shrinks instead of
growing fabby and slipping.

Kineu Punch and Jolt on the Chin That Ma Cause Trouble

Tommy Ryan, the champion welter- weight pugilist of the East, is of the opinion that he is pursued by hoodoo or false spirit.
 Ryan has been training for a 20- round contest with George Green for the past four weeks at the Reliance Athletic Club in Oakland, and to-day he is physically in splendid condition although somewhat disfgured.
 T cannot understand why my face got mashed up so badly" Ryan re- marked yesterday with a sigh as he pointed to gash over his right eye, mouth which was minus two front teeth, which doubtless had done good service in their time. and nose which bore a slight resemblance to Mt Tam alpais because of a red mark which ran down its center.
