Ed Halls Good Luck.

Ed Hall, formerly resident of
Bellevue, has struck it rich over in
Oregon. Years ago Ed was an industrious
citizen of Broadford, but being a cripple
he could not endure hard labor, and il
was with difficulty that he kept the larder
o. his agcd parents well supplied. Several
years ago Ed and his parents removed to
Oregon, where he learned assaying, and
for some time he has been employed in
an assay office at Sumpter. Since
Sumpter has come into prominence as Il
gold mining camp, Ed made a "blind
location" on a mountain side and induced
his father to start tunnel and run for a
"blind lode" Ed agreeing to assist the
old gentleman all he could during his
spare moments. The old man work ed
diligently for months, with occasional
help from his son, and succeeded in
penetrating the mountain several hundred
feet. The family was still quite poor
ana the old lady even took in washing to
help i'll their support.
One evening, few weeks ago, the old
gentleman went down home with his
pockets full of rocks. "Where's your
washtub, Mrs. Hail." were his first words
on entering, and nothing more. 1t be-
ing pointed out, he forthwith seized an
ak and demolished the faithful old tub
in a iiffy. He then entered the house
and proceeded to throw out doors the
well-worn furniture, including the old
lady's highly priced old-time rocker
Mrs. Hall, becoming alarmed and be
lieving her husband crazy, ran out ant
called for help, and when she and he
neighbors entered, the old man wa
dancing Jig of joy. He finally cooled
down and informed the astonished GROVE
that the old lady, Ed and himself wer'
now rich that he had "struck it big il
the tunnel" and to verify his assertion
he produced saveral specimens Of rocl
glittering with gold.
When Ed came to supper he was over
: ioyed to hear the old mans story, AM
that night they spent proving the widt
of the new bonanza, which was FIVE fec
from wall to wall and immensely rich.
A noted and wealthy man CHANGED t

about his lucky strike, took him to e1

DEPUTY SHER|FF'S
NARROW ESCAPE
Bullet in the Neck of
Frank Wilson.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

STOCKTON, Dec. H.-Frank Wilson, a
deputy sheriff OF Walnut Grove. Sacra-
mento County, lies at his room in the
White House with bullet wound in his
neck. after a very narrow escape from
death. Several stories have been given as
10 how he received the wound. Wilson has
done all in his power to hush the matter
up, although he says that there is nothing
mysterious or out of the way in the mat
ter. The Sacramento officer has been con-
fined TO his room since last Thursday
night, when the accident occurred. Will
son came from Sacramento here, bringing
a patient for the State Hospital.
Thursday night, IL is claimed, he went
to his room. AS he was about TO retire
he dropped his pistol 10 the floor. The Of
ficer made a grab TO catch IL. so the story
goes and the butt struck the floor just
as he was bending over it, The bullet
struck Wilson in the neck, plowing around
il and emerging back OF the shoulder. 1t
narrowly missed the windpipe and spinal
column.
Another story says that Wilson tried TO
commit suicide. IL is known that he did
not have a doctor until the following day,
shortly before noon, having laid bleeding
all night. On this theory IL is said that
the incident was not so much OF an accl-
dent as reported.
Another story was that Wilson had been
shot by another. but he maintains that il
was accidental. despite the rumors 10 the
contrary.

FOR PRIZE ESSAYS

and Economic Questions of
the Day.

In submitting the subject for discus
sion DR.. Stallard makes the following in
troductory remarks: "AS many writer's on
matters Of society and politics. both in
Europe and America, are at the present
time inclined 10 discredit certain propo-
sitions stated in the Declaration of lnde-
pendence, and 10 regard them as the mere
dreams of French philosophers. beyond
the scope of practical politics. 1t seems
TO be a fitting moment 10 invite a re-
examination OF the question whether or
not these propositions are correct and
II so. by what means they are TO be at
tanned"
DR.. Stallard then quotes the celebrated
equal rights clause from the Declara-
tion of Independence and lays down the
following points for discussion:
"First-What meaning should be attach
ed 10 the term right OF mang II this
phrase is metaphorfcal, what should be
its literal statement?
''Second-Are all men created equal with
respect 10 the rights therein declared to
'.Third-What are the economic condl-
tions upon which the enjoyment OF these
inalienable rights depends?
"Fourth-Is IL the function OF govern
uents 10 secure these economic conditions
equally for all men2
''Fifth-What legislation is required to
attain these ends?"
The best two prizes will respectively
