The Boy and The Gun.

AS the result of two small boys
being out with a gun, Willie Ham
ilton. SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
Hamilton, is now seriously injured
by a gun shot wound. Young
Hamilton and Bert Yorke were
out duck hunting, of course the
gun was. mot loaded and young
Yorke in a playful manner placed
the brrrel against Hamilton S
shoulder and pulled the trigger,
whereupon the "unloaded" gan
was discharged, fracturing the
boys shoulder and breaking his
arm. The wound is quite serious
but it is thought the boy will re-
cover.
just so long as parents permit
small boys to handle guns, just Sc
long will such accidents have t.
be recordcd.-ldaho Leader

Oil Excitement.

AS if Montpelier, with its min
ing excitement, didn't have about
all it could attend to, an oil ex-
citement has cropped out. The
white shale up Montpelier canyon
is said to show evidences of oil,
and a location stampede has taken
place. For long while it has
been known that indications of oil
existed up there, but no one has
had the temerity to take hold OF
the proposition and make any de-
velopments. What will come Of
the present excitement remains tC
be seen.-- Montpelier Examiner.

Of the many obstacles encountered in
