THAT BASIN
Particulars of the Shooting Of Mrs.
Hoover.

PARTICULARS OF the shooting OF Mrs.
The press dispatches announced. a
few days ago that P. J. Walters, a
Billings travelling man, had killed a
Mrs. Hoover at Thermopolis, Wyo.
Inquiry among the merchants Of the
city reveals the fact that no such
man has I'VE been employed at Bill
ings. The Gazette's Thermopolis
correspondent in a letter written
September 8 states that Walters rep
resented several eastern concerns and
gives the following particulars of the
tragedy:
Mrs. Agnes Hoover, the woman
killed by j. p. Walters, owned a
store at Otto, Wyo. Mrs. Hoover
had been visiting Thermopolis for the
purpose of getting the benefit of the
hot water baths at the springs. Wal
tiers had concealed himself in a
clump of brush and as Mrs. Hoover
passed by on the road with her lit
tie child Walters rushed up to her
exclaiming, Nov is your time to
die" as he utter these words he fired
a shot and then discharged a bullet
into his own body.
The first shot at Mrs. Hoover did
not prove very effective and Walters,
although himself injured, followed the
attack on Mrs. Hoover with another
bullet. The last passed into the re-
gion of the. heart, killing her instant
ly.
Walters was placed under arrest
and while physicians were examin-
ing his wound remarked that he
hoped he had done a good job on
Mrs. Hoover" V
Fearful that his own life would be
spared to answer to the charge of
deliberate murder he jerked a razor
from his pocket and made another
unsuccessful attempt on his own life.
At this writing physicians say that
| Walters will recover.
Jealousy is what prompted Walters
to take the life of Mrs. Hoover. She
was a widow and had frequently re
jected him as a sutton.
1t was with the utmost difficulty
that the officers prevented the en-
ragged citizens from lynching Walters.
..--...
A coroner's jury held him responsible
for the death of Mrs. Hoover.
The victim Of the tragedy was well
known by many people throughout
the basin.

FLEEING THE scouReE.
Eakota stockmen Want to Come to
Montana.

The fear produced by the existence
Of anthranx among the herds of that
state has impelled some of the stock
men of North Dakota to decide to re-
move. their cattle elsewhere. A few
days ago the governor and state vet-
erinarian of Montana received a let
ter from Alvin Erb of Okobojo, N. D.,
asking permission to remove his
herds across the line into this state,
saying that the disease had appeared
among the cattle owned Iy a man in
an adjoining township. He also
wrote that the son of a neighbor had
contracted the disease and died with
in a short time a%fterward.
AS the quarantine regulations Of
this state require all persons bringing
in stock from another state to exhib-
it a certificate attesting to the health
of the stock and a statement from
two reputable citizens of the locality
in which he lives that no anthranx
has existed in that particular local
ity for six months prior to making
the statement, it would seem that
upon MI. Erb's own showing he will
probably be refused permission to
bring his cattle into the state. The
proximity to his own range in which
he says the disease has made its ap-
p~earance may be construed as bring
ing the case within the restrictions
Of the quarantine regulations and
make it impossible for him to furnish
the required statement relative to the
absence of anthranx in the locality
from which he halls.

The Fighting Beers.

1t is now II months since the war in
South Africa began. England has an
army in the field now of over 100000
men.
At one time her armies numbered 27O,-
GOO men, but some $4,000 have been kill
ed, died of wounds or disease or have
been invalided. Lord Roberts, after oc-
cupying Bloemfontein and Pretoria, de-
clared the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal republic to be English COL
onies, announced that the war was end
ed, and was recalled to England. But
still the Beers fight on.
When the war began it was estimated
that the Boers numbered 10000 fighting
men. Since the beginning of hostilities
the English have killed according to
published reports) about 2OO,O0O Beers,
wounded far greater number, and
taken at least 100, 900 Boer prisoners. It
is now stated by English commanders
that the Boer forces in the field number
$4,000 men. The Beers give their losses
iE killed and wounded since the war be-
gan at 1900. Some 5000 Beers are pris-
oners in the hands of the English, and
others have grown weary of fighting and
returned to their homes. So it Is prob
able that the fighting strength of the
Beers has been reduced one-half since
the war began. But these are fighting
on.-Georgia Tribvne.

The Chinese Story Teller.

A strange figure in the life of this and
other Chinese cities is the professional
story teller. He plies his vocation in
the open street, and depends upon the
generosity of his hearers for his pay.
In the latter correction they work a
trick that was very successful during the
Bonner period in American literature.
II the story be serious they wait until
they get the hero suspended from a cliff
or the heroine throwing daggers at her,
and then they pass around the collection
plate, or, If the story be joke, they pass
the hat between the plot and the point
1t is Bonner's "To be continued in our
next proposition over again, and It
seems to work with equal success. Many
Of these story tellers are good actors
and excellent mimics, and often carry
several characters along with fair sue
cess. The story tellers were among the
first people to return to the city after
semblance Of order had been restored,
and it was an interesting sight to watch
them, even II their stories could only
be followed with an interpreter. Their
hearers, usually drawn from the simpler
folks, followed them with open-mouthed
interest, and were sad with the oppress-
ed and glad with the victorious. It
has been said that the story tellers sup
ply to Chinese life what the newspapers
do to American life, but the comparison
does not seem apt.-St. Louis Globe
