BRIDGE SKULDUGGERY.
Scheme by Which FavOriteCOm-
pany Got Contract.

A. McLouth, who received the con-
tract for the building of the Sardou ave-
nue. bridge, has notified the county COM
missioners that he has turned his con-
tract over to the Missouri Valley bridge
company of Leavenworth.
When the bids were opened on August
16 the county commissioners found Nc
Louth's bid of SIT. 424 the lowest. 1t was
accompanied by a personal check on a
bank at MeLouth, Kansas instead OF
by a certified check from a Topeka
bank. ]. W. HoOver's bid of $18,l5O was
the next lowest. Hoover and other bid
ders protested against McLouth's bid
being received as 1t was not accom-
panied by a certified check as required.
The other bidders claimed at the time
that McLouth was bidding for the MIS-
souri, Valley company and that II the
Missouri Valley company's bid had been
the lowest except McLouth that Nc
Louth's bid would have had a string on
it in the shape of the personal check
and would have been withdrawn but
that if it was the lowest the MISSOURI
Valley people would not object to 1t and
that later McLouth would give his con-
tract over to the Missouri Valley people
All of which is shown to be true by
the subsequent events. Silas Rain was
the only member of the board of coun-
ty commissioners who made any fight
against the seeming underhand meth

SHOT and KILLED,
OrViIle Myers Loses His Life
While Hunting.
Back of Head Blown OFF by Ac
cidental Discharge.

OrvilIe Myers. a 19-year-o1d boy who
lived at 1O3 East Twelfth street, was
shot and instantly killed this morning
about IL 30 o'clock while duck hunting
on the north side of the Kansas river,
opposite the site of the old DAM The
back Of his head was blown off.
Indications are that Myers was shot
with his own gun, but even the testi-
mony of the two boys who were with
Myers is not certain on this point
Myers went hunting this morning
with Charles G. Reed, son Of Geo. w
Reed who lives at 1133 Harrison street.
and Ernest CobIentz. who lives at 101
East Twelfth street, next door to the
boy who was killed Myers and Reed
had shotguns Coblentz had none All
the boys are about the same age.
The boys had waded out into the
mud and sand which lines the river at
the place where the accident occurred
It is believed that Myers stunt IN
the grass. and in falling back against
Reed who stood just behind him,
dropped his gun, causing it to go on
One of the triggers on his gun was de-
fective. Two exploded shells were
found in Myers gun. Reed had one
empty shell and one exploded one in
his gun.
The charge from the gun tore off the
whole back of Myers head, scattering
the blood all over Reed. who caught
the wounded boy as he fell.
The boys tried to pull Myers out OF the
mud and bring him to the dry lana, ou o{
then ran all the way to Dolman' g gro
Gerry store, at 80 Gordon street, y orth To-
peka and there telephoned for the police

Pavey and DR.. r. E. Buckmaster went
out in the patrol and brought the dead
body In. also Reed and Coblentz-
The following is the stroy .Whic.h5, Chas
Reed tells of the tragedy. "Orvile was
standing Just in front of me, and we both
had our guns in our hands ready to bring
them to our shoulders. Some ducks We're
lust flying over. expect OrVllle was
about three feet ahead of me- He half
turned to me and said. 'Scrooch down.

against me, and the guns went OF I
think it was not my gun, because had
it, and Coblentz took them out after the
accident. Both of the shells in Orville's
gun are shot. We threw water on Or
villes face, but we saw, Of course, that 1t
was no use. Then we tried to bring MIN
to shore but he stuck too fast IN
the mud We left him and went to the
nearest farm house fO~ help
The police officers are inclined to be-
lfeve that it was Reeds gun which did
the killing It is hard to understand hSAy
the back of Myers head could be blown
Reed must have been carrying Myers gun
and that when Myers fell back against
him the defective trigger TeH ana the
ca rtridge was exploded.
Reed lis naturally greatly excited, and
his story of the affair is not very positive.
He admits that he is not sure whether his
gun or Myers is the one which went off.s

Prosperisy Of the south.

From the Atlanta Journal
This great country is fairly exulting
In abundance and basking in the sun
shine Of plenty 1t IS gratifying to
know that the south is more than con-
tributing her share to the general and
marked Improvement. The value of the
cotton crop of the season now closing
was estimated to be $4S2, 900, 600. This
One source of the prosperity Of this
country is the excess of the exports
over the imports and this balance
would not be in favor of the United
States but for the southern cotton crop.
There IS a fair prospect for another
good cotton crop. and that 1t viii bring
good prices. Should the next yield
amount to S4S2, 900, 900, or somewhere
near that figure, the south will be in
better condition than for twenty years.
