good team into the field to represent the

team next week. The candidates for bat
terry positions are Houghton of Putney and
Whitman, pitchers; Cook and Ransom

THAT SHOOTING AFFAIR.
The Particulars in Regard to the
Minnewaukan Row.

Minnewaukan Row.
Oberon Reporter.
Last Saturday night there was
dance at Louis Venues. Jr.. about
eight miles southwest of Mime
waukan. Towards morning some
of the boys became little hilar-
ious and rather sensitive. It ap-
pears that somefellow took another
fellows girl home, and when he
got back a row was started in short
order, the result Of which was-that
Steve Bonnette shot William Wik-
strom with a 3S-caliber revolver,
the bullet striking near the naval,
passing through the large intestine
and lodging in the back. DR..
Schultz was summoned and care
fully examined the wounded man,
and decided that an operation
would be necessary. He therefore
called in DIR. Brown. as council
and to assist in the operation.
The abdomen was opened and the
intestine sewed up. The doctors
decided it best not to try to extract
the bullet, as the operation would
be too severe. Bonnette at once
came to town, awoke Sheriff
Scheffner, told his story, and gave
himself up. He is still in jail
awaiting his preliminary examina-
ton, which will not take place
until the result of the wound is
known. At present Wikstrom is
lying at the house where he was
shot, with some slight hopes of
recovery.
Wikstrom is single man and
owns section of land, and Bon
nette, known as :'Frenchy,' is also
single man, and has worked for
different individuals in and about
Minnewaukan.
There are several versions given
about this shooting It appears
that Anton Pierson and Wikstrom
got into all alteration. when the
latter called to Bonnette for assis-
tance. who came to his rescue
whereupon general fight took
place. Bonnette claims he shot in
self-defense. 1t is sad affair
and again teaches the lesson that
alcohol. women and revolvers make
a bad mess when they get among
excitable men.
The wounded mans father and
mother, who live in Richland
county, arrived Tuesday, and are
doing all that is possible for the
recovery of their son.

gratuitous spectacle, in thirty
monster sections, which takes
place at ten o'clock on the morn
ing Of Monday July 3, and the
