A YOUNG LADY KILLED.
The Happiness Of May Day Merry
Makers Turned to Sorrow.

Wednesday, May LIST, a gay and
happy crowd of young people left
Tolu for Hurricane church on n
Mayday picnic, anticipating day
of merriment. But their happi-
ness was destined to be overshad-
owed by the gloom of n distress
ing tragedy. In the afternoon
Miss Lula Clayton, a beautiful and
beloved young lady of Tolu, was
sitting on the steps leading into
the church, when little Tasco
Bozeman, the son of Mr.. Charles
Bozeman, one of Tolu's most pro-
minent citizens, came around the
corner OF the church, and seeing a
rifle standing against the building
picked it up and playfully pointed
it at Miss Clayton. The young
lady laughed and said she was not
afraid of the gun. The boy think
ing the gun was empty, pulled the
trigger. There was a report, and
cruel ball of lead tore through
the heart of the young lady. In
moment she was dead. The pref
ty features of she, who but a mo-
ment before was so joyful, no lon
ger wore beautiful smile, but
were now cold and expressionless
in death. The merry making cea-
sed; happiness gave way to sor-
Tow. The remains of the unfortu-
mite girl were taken to the home
Of her sister, Mrs. Ada Crawford,
of Tolu, where she resided. The
picnic party returned to Tolu
us funeral cortege. The funeral
services were held at the Presby-
terian church at Tolu Thursday.
Rev. Cundiff conducted the servi-
ces.
Miss Clayton was in her six
teenth year, and was devoted
christian girl, lovable, kind, cheer
full, and her death is keenly felt by
the entire community.
The sorrow of the little fellow
who discharged the gun is pitia-
bile. He is but twelve years of age.
No idea, no thought of iniuring
tho young lady hsd'-enter1d hix
mind. The affair was indeed a sad
one for all parties.

] r posed DENVER JUNKET.
Senate May Turn the Proposition
Down Too Much Travelling.

The somewhat talked Of junket TO
r-nver, Colo. by the Legislature will,
perhaps, meet with more opposition
than was at first supposed, And what
would seem to be an effective quietus
to the proposition is that the OPPOSE
ton is arising from the upper house OF
tho LEGISLATURE.
Senator tanner, the chairman Of
the committee on Public institutions
said this morning that the Senate
would not be likely TO favor the propo-
sitlon the reason being that, all the
time that the Senate can consistently
snare for junkets this session, has been
aud will be taken up in thar way, out
side of tbs Colorado trip. While II may
be argued that the Legislature would
not lose one general session, there Is
nothing to prevent the committees from
working on holidays as well as any
other day, There IS plenty Of work to
keep them going.
While Senator Tanner expresses the
sentiments Of many of the Senators,
there are still some who are Of the
opinion that a visit 20 the great insti-
tutiCns Of Colorado would be of sufii-
Client benefit TO tn state Of Utah. as to
compensate for the time consumed In
the journey.
The Feelings af the majority of the
senators. however, seem to be that the
Colorado junket should be put of for
this session Of the Legislature at
least.
There is nothing definite, however.

that there are many members of the

SURETY AGENT
ARRIVES IN TOWN
C. M. Abbott of New York Iuves'
tigates the Van kurau Case
WILL BE NO COMPROMISE.
Van Kuran VIII Either be vindicated
or Have PeniteDunry staring
In HIS Face.

C. NJ. Abbott of New York, special
agent for the National Surety company
arrived in this city this morning and
registered at the Knrlsford. Immedl-
ately after registering he adjourned to
the office Of Auditor Hills of the oregon

qualnted with the facts surrounding the
alleged defalcation Of ex-Local Treas
urer Van Kuran. This afternoon the
accused man met with the special agent
and Auditor Hills in the latters office,
the three gentlemen being closeted to-
gether until a late hour.
When seen this afternoon Mr. Abbott
said. II am very sorry that have to
come here on such an errand, as the
Oregon Short Line has ALWAYS been re-
garded by our company as being ex-
ceedngy free from any OF its employees
occasionally slipping a cog. There is
no need to take any indecent haste IN
dsposing Of this case; Nj. Van kuran
Is right here and VIII not run away and
we VIII 80 thoroughly over the books
and see just where this error comes In.
II II transpires that the error was made
with criminal intent Of course there will
be only one thing for me TO do--swear
out warrant for arrest | do not an
tlclpate, however, that any steps will
be taken In the matter for a day or two
yet as the company | represent is not
in the habit Of acting hastily In such
matters"
In answer to a question to the effect
that II compromise was arrived at
and the missing $500 made good
whether the surety company would be
content TO let the matter drop, Mr. Abb
bolt said with a smile, III II were
known that we ever did such a thing we
would have TO go out Of business right
away, for we would have all the young
scampe in the country boiling
In all directions The agent
was emphatic in his statement
that In every case where a man had
wifully Incorporated the funds Of
his employer that he was prosecuted to
the limit.
