Shot Through the Head.

Will Rowan, Is, the Oldest son of John
Rowan of Barton Landing, and another
young man went out hunting and when
nearly ready to return home they met
some girls, and it was proposed that
each take turn in firing at a mark.
The young man who was with Rowan
fired and then handed the gun to one of
the girls. Young Rowan was lying
down at tie time, his head resting on
his hand. AS the girl was about to fire,
something was said which caused her to
turn suddenly toward Rowan when in
some unaccountable manner the gun
was discharged, the bullet entering
Rowan's head just above the eye and
lodging in the brain. He was carried to
his home and lived until about seven in
the evening, but never recovered con-
seriousness.

Believed at Washington That the Chinese
Trouble Will he Nothing More.
WASHINGTON, June l2.-The Chinese
crisis continues to be an absorbing topic
at the foreign embassies and legations
in Washington, but the prevailing SEN
timent is that it will be confined to mob
outbreaks and will not eventuate in q
territorial dismemberment involving
the various powers. It is pointed out
that up to this time the foreign powers
have stated most positively that their
sole purpose was to restore order and
protect their citizens and property,
while there has been a suspicion of some
Interior motive on the part Of some of
them this has not taken form. On the
contrary all the official declarations
have disavowed anything more than
restoration of order,

Serious Collisions Between Strikers and

81 LOUIS, June 1.-THE day has
been of the most eventful and bloody
since the great strike on the St. Louis

and the wounding of five or more per-
sons, mostly strikers.
A party Of strikers returning from q
picnic had a collision with the sheriff's
posse in front of the building used for
their barracks. Several shots were
fred and bricks thrown and some of the
posse turned loose their repeating shot
guns. Edward Thomas, a striking con-
ductor on the Choteau avenue line, was
picked up and placed in an ambulance
after the fight was over. He was shot
in the breast, the heavy load of buck
shot tearing hole that soon caused his
death while on the way to the city hos
pital.

aged IS years, was killed by a shot
