The pigeon shoot between Joe
Vance and Slim Davis this after
noon resulted in Vance carrying
off the palm. Vance killed six
birds out of ten, while Davis killed
only two out of ten. Davis con-
tests the award as he claims that
Vance concocted an arch con-
spiracy against him, stating that
he has sufficient discriminating
evidence which shows conclusively
that Vance drew the lead from all
except two of his ten shells.

The TIMES did not put in list,
as the swearing is getting entirely
"too hot" The TIMES gets $3.50
per year for the weekly edition,
and we cannot see where there is
any money in giving the paper to
anybody who will take it free of
charge,in order to ''get a list" If
the boys can stand that kind of a
deal and make money, they are
welcome to it. We believe The

Accidently Poisoned.
The home Of j. Crooks, on First

The home Of J. Crooks, on First
street, came near being the scene
of an accidental death last night.
EARLY in the evening the three
year-old child of the houehold was
rumaging about the house,. as
all children Of its age are won't to
do. In a short time it found a
grip sack, in which were stored
numerous trinkets, among which
was vial filled with most deadly
poison. Within few minutes after
the little tot had found the satchel
it had the entire contents of ii
dumped upon the floor. Soon the
vial of poison came into the child'e
hands and prompted by the curl
osity born in an infant it un-
corked the bottle and drank most
the entire contents of it. When
found by Mrs. Crooks, the child
was already in terrible convul-
tions. She noticed the empty
bottle at the child's side, and ina
mediately knew Of the child's pre-
carious condition. DR.. @. w. Nc
Gavren was Immediately sum
moned, but when he arrived the
poison had all but accomplished
its deadly work, and it was only
after an hours hard work that the
child's life was saved.
