SHOT IN H ARM.
BRENNAN WAS LOOKING FOR
TROUBLE AND GOT IT.
Stirred Up a Row with lom McGarry-
Declines to Prosecute the Man
Who Shot Him.

Richard Brennan and Thomas Nc
Garry were the principals in a shooting
ARRAY which occurred on East Park
street asst night and because Of which
Brennan who apparently was the ag-
men decline to discuss the cause leading
up to the shooting, but it Is understood
that relations have been strained for
some time. At n time both men were
employed at the Never Sweat mine and
while there quarreled. Last evening
McGarry, who was accompanied by q
number Of his friends, met Brennan in
front OF the Lone Pin saloon, on East
Park street. Brennan who had been
drinking, remembered his grudge against
McGarry, and proceeded to stir up
trouble. McGarry tried to get out Of his
way several times but Brennan was per-
sistent, and finally McGarry drew a re-
volver and took a shot at Brennan The
ball passed through the muscles OF
Brennan's right arm, inflicting an ugly
wound. Before hostilities could proceed
further Officer Bowling arrested the en-
tire crowd. The men were escorted to
the city Jail and were afterwards taken
to the county Jail.
McGarry and Brennan refused to make
any explanation to the officers. Brennan
said he went out looking for trouble.
got it, and was not kicking and would
not prosecute McGarry.
Later Brennan was removed to Sisters
hospita, and the attending surgeon states
that his wound is Of a very serious ma
ture and that an amputation OF the arm
may be necessary.

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE.
It's Happy Vagaries Enable it to Suit
Every Human Condition.

The climatic conditions Of California,
when closely considered, upset COM
pletely all ones ~preconceived notions of
the relation between latitude and tenn
perature. The latitude of San Diego, the
southern city of the state, is o that
of Charleston, South Carolina, while Los
Angeles lies a little farther south than
Memphis, Tennessee. The northern line
of California is on the same parallel
with Boston, Massachusetts,.
From these facts one is apt to con-
clude that although southern California
may have a sub-tropical climate, adapt
ed to the growth of citrus fruits, yet
the northern part of the state must nave
the rigorous winters of the north Allan
tic states, or of Iowa or Nebraska on the
upper Mississippi. This is, however,
very, far from being the case.
-Four hundred miles north of Los An
geles and 500 north of a Diego the
summers are warmer and the winters
but little more severe han in the cities
named. All along the coast the climate
is cool during the summer, with .consid-
cradle low fog near the ocean, which
during the day floats up to the SUBMITS
of the coas range. This gives an album
lance of moisture and an equable tenn
perature. During winter this belt is al
most frostless. n the rainfall is, except
In the extreme south, from rs to so inches
annually.
V0lCy OC1LS cAlcHuluS OUU miles
parallel to the coast, is quite warm
through the summer, with scarcely any
rain from May to October. In winter it
is colder than on the coast, with much
rain.
In many OF the northern valleys the
palm, fig and olive find a congenial
home, while h orange and lemon reach
perfection, ripening from four to six
weeks earlier than in the more southern
counties.
The tourist who is in search of either
health or pleasure can in California Sc
fect his climate at any period Of the
year. A winter at Monterey, with a sum-
mer on the Sierras, will secure a most
delightful and healthy climate during
the entire year.
By carefully selecting the location,
one can find plenty Of Ian adapted to
any kind of agricultural or horticultural
pursuit, where with industry and econ
omy he can build up a comfortable, self
sustaining home.
The Southern Pacific company has Just
announced n Of it's very cheap and de-
aightful excursions from Ogden, Utah, to
California on June 10, for which occasion
round trip tickets will he sold for $50.

Coroner's Jury Believes That It Was
Explosion Of Caps.

Coroner Julien held an inquest last
night on the remains of p. c. Duncan,
the young miner who was killed in the
Gagnon mine Thursday afternoon. Half
a dozen employees of the miner were ex-
amined. No one saw the accident and
it's cause was a matter Of conjecture.
The ~concensus of opinion of the wit
nesses was that in some manner a box
of giant caps had exploded and through
this explosion the young man lost his
life.
The verdict of the jury exonerated the
company from al blame.

MRS. MARY GREG0vICH.
Of Philipsburg, Montana, Tells How

Mrs. Mary Gregovich of ~Philipsburg.
Montana, under date of November 26,
1899, writes: II had typhoid fever this
summer, consequently was losing my
hair terribly, and my head in places was
perfectly bald. Newbro's Herpicide had
just come into use in Philipsburg, and

hair stopped falling out, and is coming
in again quite thick. I used to be trou-
bled greatly with dandruff, of which
