SHOT IN THE LEG,
HERMAN GRETHER INJURED IN
LAST NIGHTS CELEBRATION.
Injury Inflicted By Little Cannon,
and Is Flesh Wound-Not Dan
gerous, But Painful.

The first shot fired from the little
cannon used in last nights demon
stration did one sixth as much dam
age as did the whole Spanish fleet and
the forts at Manila, during the naval
battle with Dewey. 1t happened in this
way: Herman Grether, an employee
of the j. G.. Mcdonald Candy company,
was standing in front of the little can
non near the Dolly block. In some
manner the gun was fired before he
knew that it was to be touched off.
There was only blank cartridge in
the charge of wads and powder in
fiicted a very painful wound in his left
leg just above the ankle.
Grether was Immediately carried into
the Eagle pharmacy and DIR. Bower
summoned to dress his wounds. The
wound was bleeding profusely and
when exposed to view showed that
hole had been torn in the flesh. ex-
posing the bone. but not breaking it.
The flesh was burned and badly LAGER
ated and was very painful. The leg OF
his trousers was torn and burned where
the powder had struck it. After his
wound was dressed he was taken to
his rooms. where he will be forced to
remain for a couple of weeks, until
his leg has healed enough to permit
him to be around.
The cannon, with which he was shot,
was a little one with about a three
quarter inch bore and not over a foot
in length This was loaded with
blank cartridge. but in spite of that
fact it proved to be as formidable as
g. great number of Spanish cannon
which weigh manv tons each. In the
battle which Dewey had with the
eleven Spanish vessels and the forts at
Manila. the Spaniards succeeded in
wounding six American sailors. In or
der to do this they fired hundreds of
shot and shells. but here in Salt Lake
one man was wounded with a toy can
non and a blank cartridge at the first
shot. 1t has been suggested that Spain
had better use the toy guns, as it is
cheaper and can do as much damage
as their big guns.

United States and other powers in IA
vor of the settlement of national diff
ferences as to boundaries, port custom

and not By the bloody arbitrament Of
war. But like many other subjects,
reasonable enough in their origin, it
has died out of mems minds. But
there is a theme of comment, and that
is the incompatible fine effects of Hos

 HORSEWH|PP|NC Mrs. Brown Publicly Castigates MT. Bennie About Her
 Daughter.

A commission merchant, two robusct wo- men, more robust horsewhip and a 12- year-old little girl were the actors in a public castigation, which has transformed the usually placid stream of Smithfield neighborhood gossip into raging torrent.
 The affair occurred three weeks ago last night, when Mrs. H. A. Brown. accompan ed by her sister. Mrs. Inman, appeared in front of the residence of Lex A. Bennie. Mrs. Brown stood at the front gate and called for MT. Bennie. When he had stepped out side the gate she applied the whip. Mrs. Brown alleges that Bennie insulted her 12- yar-old daughter, Maggie. This MT. Bennie denies. Both parties were seen last night by an Age-Herald reporter, and when ques- toned in regard to the case made the state- ments in support of their positions, which appear below:
 "I was milking my cows at the time," said she, "it being late in the afternoon. Then pretty soon my little girl Maggie. came in all breathless and confused like, and said that Mr. Bonnie wasn't nice. And then she said when she was a-coming up the hill with a can of oil, MT. Brown had taken her can from her to tote 1t up the hill.
 "Later on, my Maggie said he put his arms around her and hugged her and then run his hands across her breast, like this, and then he asked her to kiss him, and when she wouldn't he said he was tired she was going to tell Miss Lizzie. That's his wife and her Sunday school teacher.
 "He said: Oh, no, you won't do that; and she said, Well. I'm going to tell mamma anyway And she did.
 "When I heard about it I grabbed a horse whip from out of the milk wagon and started for Bennie's house up on the hill. My sister, Mrs. Inman, saw me go- ing, and she went along, too.
 "When we got there I stood at the gate and called out: Either come out here and take beating, MT. Benny, or be ar out and I laid 1t to him. He tried to ex- plain, but didn't let up.''
 MT. Bennie said that Mrs. Brown took aware of anything that would furnish cause for such an act. He walked from the electric car part of the way home with the little girl. He caressed her, but did nothing from improper motives.
 "I have always been friendly with her." said he "and treated her just as I would any little girl. think my record and my connections are too well known for any such construction to be put by the public on my actions."
