For a time it is possible to fight it, but
the conviction grows that ultimately one

places it is tempered by a breeze which
elsewhere would doubtless be refreshing.
But it rs hardly so here. The air is dull

SHOT HIS PARTNER.
George w. Hall Arrested at La
Crosse for the Alleged Shoot
ing of c. r. Thomas.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 19.-LSppcial. /
George ". Hall, editor of the West Sa-
lem Nonpareil, was arrested at the Daily
Press office in this city today, charged
with shooting his partner and business
associate, G. f. Thomas, with intent to
murder. The shooting occurred Saturday
night in West Salem. a small village in
his county, twelve miles from La Crosse.
The whole affair is surrounded with mys-
terry. Hall claims he saw a man at his
bedroom window about II o'clock and he
shot twice with a revolver, then went to
the front door and fired another shot.
He called n n~eighbOr and said he had
shot and killed a man trying to
break into his house. Investigation
showed no attempt at tampering with the
window and no blood was seen. Thomas,
the victim, entered the Woods hotel,
where he boarded, some time during the
night with a private key. He made no
report of the shooting to any one, and
was found the next morning unconscious
from loss of blood. Doctors were sum-
moned and found that a bullet had passed
through the neck from behind, narrowly
missing the Jugular vein and the spinal
column. His condition is very critical,
as blood poisoning has set in owing to the
long neglect of the wound. The peculiar
part of the case is that Thomas refuses
" hiohS ohS statement VI lhC case, III
does not seem to care whether or not
Hall is prosecuted.
Thomas came to West Salem two
years ago with considerable money and
became Halls associate, and, it is said,
has since been the principal financial
hacker of Halls VARIOUS projects. He
made his home at Halls house much of
the time. He is a druggist. Hall came
to La Crosse from Ohio some three years
ago. He worked for a time in job Of
fees in this city and then went to West
Salem and bought out a weekly paper,
the Nonpareil. He will not be arraigned
until Thomas condition is definitely as
certained.

Austrian ,FAwaIS-

The Austrian collection is the finest col
lection Of jewels in Europe-iu fact, the
only one since the cr0wn jewels of France
were broken up and bought by the mod
ern millionaires.. The jeweled arms are
quite magnificent, and among the most
noticeable of them is the lance of st.
Maurice, blazing with precious stones and
containing in the handle the most anthem
tic relic-a nail from the true cross; while
the regalia of Charlemagne, taken from
his tomb at AiX-1a-ChapeIle, is another
valuable item. But the Empress own
jewels are almost equally magnificent.
She possesses the largest emerald in the
wrold, weighing 5000 karats; bur, o
course, this is uncut. Another, nearly as
large, is followed out as. Il bonbonneire,
and one of her prettiest ornaments is a
watch composed of one dark emerald
hanging onto a chain of eneralds and
diamonds (the first jeWeIed chain which
was ever made), and this WAS a gift from
the late Shah Of Persia when he visited
Europe some years ago..
