Boys, Take Warning.

Don't carry your your guns loaded. l
recently had an experience, from which
I learned lesson not soon to be forgot
ten. While out hunting on Tuesday of
last week, besides my shotgun, l took
along a savage rifle to use in case l
might SEQ wolf. Having occasion to
put cartridge in the barrel Of the rifle
while going around coulee. expecting
to run across wolf or coyote, but fail
ing to see anything to use it on, carried
the rifle to ihe buggy and thoughtlessly
placed it in the bottom of the rig and
took my shotgun and went in search of
ducks. had put the safety-lock on the
trigger Of the rifle, and Of course,
thought it was safe, but imagine my
surprise when, after driving about
twenty miles, I heard the report of a
gun, and upon investigation discovered
that the rear OF the buggy required a
new end-board. 1t seems that the
safety.lock Of the rifle wasn't so safe
after all, and am now satisfied that the
only safetythere is in either rifle or
shotgun, while being carried in buggy,
is by carrying the gun empty and un-
charged. Had there been anyone be.
hind the buggy sad death would prob
ably haYe been the result.

A Dago Shot.

On Friday morning last, word was
sent to Williston from Ray, a small sta
ton on the Great Northern railroad
about twenty miles esst o: this city, that
one of the Italian laborers had been
shot in a quarrel with co-laborer, and
asking for an officer to come and make
an arrest, but the latter course was not
necessary as the accused, whose name
was given as Petro Dearborne, came
down and gave himself up.
The wounded man, named Joseph
Avilla, was brought to Wiliston on No.
5 Friday morning, and DR.. F. II. Van
Dyke called. to examine his condition.
The doctor made an ante mortem .ex-5
animation. and found that the wound
was made by ,3S-calibre ball, which
entered the abdomen about ] ! inches to
the left Of the naval. The doctor did all
that medical skill could do for the in
jured man under the circumstances. but
it was apparent from the first that the
man could not live. The poor fellow
was able to sit up, but complained Of
great suffering and nausea. He lived
until o'clock Saturday afternoon. when
death come to his relief.
post mortem examination showed
that the ball had passed through tho
bowels and found a lodging place some
where in the region Of the back. The
intestiHes we're cut and internal hemor-
rhage had filed the cavity. The bail
was not located. as the doctor thought it
was unnecessary to make general dis
section Of the body.
Coroner Ackerman having been no
titled Immediately summoned jury
consisting Of G. A. Bryant, Paul Schier-
beck and Jess w. Hill. Nine Witnesses
were examined, the testimony ofxal 6f
whom was just about the same, sThey
all said that the deceased, AyilIa, com
menced the quarrel with Dearborne. and
struck him with IA. club because Dear
borne started to 70 Fto work, after the
men had quit on strike the day be-
fore. Some Of the witnesses testified
that the deceased struck the prisoner
twice, when the fatal shot was fired,
while others testified that the prisoner
only struck once.
Upon this testimony the coroner's
jury returned verdict of self-defense.
but the States Attorney insisted on q
modification Of their verdict so that the
accused could be taken before justice
of the peace for a preliminary examine
ton. This1was done, and the prisoner
Dearborne was taken before Justice G..
B. Metzger The testimony before JUS
tice Metzger was the same as given at
ethe coronst's examination, from which
the Justice fo1nd that the killing Of
Ayilla WAS done in self.defense, ,.and the
prisoner, Dearborne was discharged.
r.. II. Copeland appeared for the
defense.

No wonder that our friend J. c. Field
took a lay-of for few days this week.
On Friday last his wife presented him
a fine l44-lb. hoy, and Charley thought
the lad was entitled to more than the
ordinary i.onors usually accorded the
advent of new ruler.
Quite a number of the Dagoes sub
pmned here as Witnesses in the unfor-
tunate shooting scrape at Ray last Fri
day, were unnecessarily very indignant
because they we're kept over for the
examination of the accused in the case
till the day after the experation of their

Strange Things Pneumatic.

This is the age Of things pneumatic.
A St. Louis man has invented rubber
cloak which can be transformed into a
mattress by blowing itup. Everything
is blown up nowadays. A patent has
been granted for kind of cap which,
being blown up, may be made to serve
as a pillow at night or as life preserver
in case of shipwreck. This is most
convenient thing to travel with on the
ocean. Better than any Of these, how
ever, is peculiar buoyant fabric de-
vised by a German. 1t is interviewer
with quilts of geese or other birds and
is intended for wearing apparel or for
Innings. So light is it that person on a
voyage, if clad in suit or dress of it,
may be sure of floating in case of dis
aster or falling overboard.-N Y. Jour

Col. H. NJ. Creel, fusion candidate for
Congress, and Hon. Thos. kleinogIe,
chairman of the democratic state CEN
tral committee, made Williston visit
last Saturday. Col. Creel met quite a
number of old army comrades here,
and great portion of his time was
spent with them recounting the in
cidents of by-gone days familiar to them
all. The Graphic, we believe, is justi-
fed in saying that Col Creel will re-
ceive a good strong vote in Williams
county for congress. The colonel and
Mr.. Kleinogle intended to visit Buford,

Obituary.

Mary Catharine Hull was born
in the State of Maryland, January
2Sth, 1926. Moved with her parents
to Perry county, Ohio, at the age of
three years. Departed this life
September 22nd, 1898, at the age of
seventy-twO years, seven months,
and twenty-four days. She was
united in marriage to John l..
Hardin April End, 1916. To this
union were born five children; one
son, and four daughters, one dsugh-
ter having preceded her to the
spirit world, 2 grandchildren, one
sister and many friends to mourn
her departure. Two grand-chil-
dren having preceded her. She
united with the Protestant Metho-
dist church about 40 years ago.
The class broke up, and she never
connected herself with any other
churcn. Sne was frequently neard
to say, "Lord have mercy upon
me-" She was loving wife, kind
and affectionate mother, and a
good neighbor. Loving deeds and
acts of charity characterized her
entire life. She often expressed
her grief at the thought of leaving
her aged companion and helpless
daughter. But now she is gone,
and let us be submissive to the will
of Him, who Is too wise to err and
too good to be unkind. The funeral
was preached in the church at
Ewing by Rev. w. III. Wright.

she was varied to John W.BOwnes
and to this union were born five
children, three sons and two
daughters, of whom three children,
two sons and daughter have pre-
ceeded her to the better world
which knows no sorrows or pain,
but where all is happiness and ever
lasting life. Mrs. Bownes was a
good and kind mother and her
pleasant smile and cheerful words
will be missed by all who were
among her friends. She was long
and patient sufferer, no murmer of
discomfort ever passed her lips and
when she peacefully passed away
she was fully prepared she having
placed her trust in Him who shows
mercy to all. She leaves to mourn
her loss son, Mr.. Fred Bownes,
and a daughter, Miss Emma
Bownes, nine grand children and a
host of sorrowing friends. Her

A Duty.

We would want it understood
among business men who may not
ike harangue in a newspaper, that
such harangue is no pleas ure to us
or any other newspaper man that we
have knowledge of, but we are not
in the newspaper business for our
health. When ever a thing that
calls himself man goes out of his
way to lay stones in our path, we
propose to cut loose on him regard
less of whose friend, or whose
desperate he is. There are only two
eXistances we are afraid of. and
that is God, and the devil. There is
no man grown big enough to smear
us around, without a resistance. We
may get licked but the other fellow
will know that he had been some
place. We will go right ahead do
ing our duty and attending to our
own business, ana when any body
OlSC SlioOSCo w StlSh lllo llOSC lllUO
he will get it bit off close up to his
eyes.
1t is also the duty of every news
paper in a community to resent and
ceusure any insult to ladies. If a
low william has no more respect foI
himself and family than to curse
nice ladies on the street, he not only
should receive the strongest repre-
mand of the newspapers, but he
ought to have real good licking
from the big brothers or husbands OF
the ladies. Listen, business man
who don't like our harangue; Whdt
if it aUere yOUr dduDhter on ,Citi
ChO iCds cursed by u UiIJidn on,
the street. You would say to your
newspaper" give him h-l.' That
is just what the other fellow says tc
us whose daughter was cursed, and
we propose to do our duty for the
decency of the community.
