East Saturday afternoon Cbas. Mel
son empted his six shooter at Thos. M
Keer in the front yard of the latter
residence. The cause, says the Boise
Statesman, was the alleged intimacy OF
heer and Nelson's wife. Nelson went
to the keer residence and Keer invited
MN into the house. Nelson refused to
enter and accused Keer of intimacy
with his wife, which Keer denied. The
Two men had by this time arrived at the
gate Nelson stepped outside, drew
ms gun and commenced to shoot. He
hred i've shots at Keer, two of which
look effect. Keer fell near where he
was standing when the shooting began.
Nelson, who went there in a hack.
ordered the driver to drive him to the
sherlits Office, where he gave himself
up. Mrs, Keer wife of the wounded
man, and his brother, Frank r. Keer,
mead the shots and rushed to the scene
ana the Injured man was carried into
the house. On examination it was
found that one bullet had entered his
right side we'll to the front, about the
fourth rib from the bottom. 1t ranged
downward, coming out about the cen.
Ter OF the left side below the ribs. An
other shot passed through the right
leg, entering just below the hip, rang
ing downward and coming out not far
above the knee, This bullet completely
shattered the thigh bone. IT Keer sur
wives the leg will have TO be amputated
There were two bullet holes through
the front of Keer's coat, but these bull
lets did not touch the body.
The trouble was caused over a letter
addressed to Mrs. C. II. Nelson in a
feminine hand. The letter starts off
with My Darling Tom" and asks him
to come and see her, stating that eve

"A statement was made by Mr.. and Mrs.
Gillette, intimate friends of the Nelson
family, to the effect that Keer com
menced a systematic effort to aleniate
Mrs. Nelson's affections while NelsoB
was at work on the Black Hornet mine. |

ed difference in his wire's conducted
towards him. The letter obtained by
Nelson was accidentally dropped by
Mrs. Nelson and he picked it up. Mel.
son said at first Keer denied the charge
and then in a low tone told Nelson TO
say nothing about it, that he would nav
whatever sum would be nects ,ary to
square it. 1t was then that Nelson
drew his revolver and commenced
firing.
Keer is in the hospital and is in a
critical condition at this writing.

WHITE RIBBON ORATORS.

Ladies Of the W. 6. T. U. Scored Big Success
at the Court House Last Week.
OF course all the ladies that took part
in the Matrons' medal contest at the
court house last Friday evening did not
carry off first honors, but Judging from
the fine delivery of their different eelec-
tions tits q pity there were not enough
medals to 20 round. They can all con.
graduate on the excellent showing made
and the solid worth of their efforts, the
contest being the most successful and
popular entertain ment of it's kind ever
given here. All six of the contestants,
with the exception of Miss Nettie Prln-
yer, took part-that lady being unable to
be present owing to sickness. Mrs John
Mahon carried of the medal for her ex-
pressive rendition Of "The Heart that
Dares not Sing" the touching pathos of
the composition being very beautifully
brought out in her delivery. Besides a
number of we'll rendered selections of
vocal and instrumental music the pro-
gram was further enhanced by two mum.
bers given by Mrs. Newlove and Miss
Marie Aslacksen, two Milton ladies-the
former having carried off the honors in
similar contest held there not long ago.
Nearly three hundred people were at the
court house aud the ladies of the W. G.
T. U. can congratulate themselves on
the financial as we'll as the social out
