J. r. Bonheur, of the Bonheur
Bros. show having its winter quar-
tiers at Augusta, Woods county, has
made application to Mum & Co.,
of the Scientific American, for a
patent on an ingenious device to be
embodied in two-story combina-
ton stereopticon and moving pic
ture machine. 1t is called "con-
denser disolver" and enables stere-
opticons using combination machines
to produce effects heretofore impos-
sible. 1t insures the same focus for
animated and stereopticon pictures
without diminishing the brilliancy
of the light or causing the leaet in
termisslod of darkness, and permits
the operator to project one and then
the other instantaneously or slowly.
The changes and effects that can be
easily rendered with it in the pro-
lection of pictures scores for Amer
lea another long stride ahead of
European inventors in the line of
scientific machines for illustrated
lectures.-Medford COX. Patriot.

Gray County Shooting Scrape.

From Gray County Sentinel, April 4.
B. V Vancil, a man in the employ
of Archie Keech, shot William Shay
with a As callbre Colts revolver yes
terday afternoon, the ball striking
him in the right leg just below the
knee and ranging upward through
the fieshy part of the limb and COM
ing out without striking the bone.
The wound, although quite painful,
is not considered serious. DR.. Hol-
lembeak was called to attend the
wounded man. He drersed the leg
and left Shay resting easily at the
home of H. w. Meyer, where he
was taken Immediately after the
shooting.
Deputy sheriffs Evans and Fisher
went down to the Keech place last
night and arrested Vancil and
brought him to town. He will be
given preliminary heariug before
Justice Barton today. No one was
present to witness the affair but
Vancil talks freely about the matter,
and made the following statement to
the Sentinel:
Between 4 and S O'Clock in the
afternoon l was holding Keech's
cattle on the Ady place when 1 no
ticed Shay riding horseback in the
direction of Keech's place. 1 rode
over to the house to learn what he
wanted. When 1 got there Shay
told me he wanted to get some cat
tie there belonging to VIM. Wilkin-
son. 1 told him he would have to
get an order from Keech or get the
stock when he was at home. He
replied with an oath that he intend
ed to take cattle anyway. I again

Keech's absence. He replied that
he had as good a gun as mine, and
that we could shoot it out at the
herd. l mounted my horse and
rode back to the cattle and COM
menced punching them preparatory
to driving them up. Shay appeared
and commenced cutting out cattle,
keeping his hand in his right pocket
as if he had hold of gun. 1 COM
manded him to stop and rode to-
ward him. He kept right on work
ing the cattle and 1 drew my gun
and shot at him. The first shot
missed him and 1 fired again, when
Shay dropped out of his saddle to
the ground. then drove the cattle
home. Mr.. Ralston came along in
a wagon and took Shay to Mr..
Myers house. l simply took Shay
at his word and protected myself.
This is about all there was to it."
