AN IOWA TRAGEDY.
One Boy Accidentally Shoots Another
While Hunting.

While running.
Goldfield, April 9.-One of the sad
dest fatalities in the history of this
community occurred Sunday afternoon
when the young son of Peter Larson,
who lives on farm near this place,
lost his life from the effects of gun
shot wound accidentally inflicted by
companion The two boys We're out
hunting near the Boone river and In
some manner the gun carried by one OF
them was accidentally discharged kill
ing the Larson lad instantly, according
to the statement of the lad who was
carrying the gun. Mr.. Larson became
alarmed Sunday evening when his son
did not return home and called at the
home of the other lad for an eXplana-
ton. The lad then stated that Mr.. Lar
sons son had accidentally been drown
ed. His story was confused however,
and on Monday morning an investiga-
ton was begun before the justice of
the peace The boy after some ques-
tioning finally made full confession.
He stated that the gun which he was
carrying was accidentally discharged,
killing the Larson lad instantly. He
was so frightened at what he had done
that he tumbled the body into the riv-
er. Since then there has been large
party dragging the river but the body
of the Larson lad has not yet been re
| covered.

HILL CONTROLS BURLINGTON.
Formal Announcement of Deal Expect
ed in Day or Two.

New York, April 9.-The Hill-Mor-
gan syndicate has obtained control of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad and an official announcement
is expected in day or two. The Hill
syndicate has offered the stockholders
of Burlington the same terms that the
Vanderbilts offered the Lake Shore
stockholders when they took over the
property, or at least the Hill offer is
a little more liberal.
1t proposes to give the stockholders
the option of exchanging their Bur
lington stock of par value of 500 a
share for 5000 worth of 80 per cent
collateral trust bonds to run 100 years,
principal and interest to be guaran-
teed by the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railroads, or to sell their
stock to the syndicate at 5000 share
cash. Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
sold yesterday at the close at 1922.
Stockholders Are Willing.
1t is said that the opposition of the
large stockholders has practically been
overcome and that the board of direc-
tors OF the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad will soon issue a cir
cular announcing their acceptance of
the terms and advising the stockhold-
ers to follow their example. 1t is said
that this circular is already being pre-
pared in Boston.
1t is said on the highest authority
that Burlington is to form a part OF
the great transcontinental system, to
consist of Erie, Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern. The line will be as
follows: New York to Chicago, Erie
railroad; Chicago to st. Paul, Chicago
Burlington and Quincy; ST. Paul TIC
the Pacific coast terminals, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific.
War to Be Declared.
Following the completion of the
deal, it is said, there will begin sys
TEN of discrimination by all these
roads against the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad, which recently
refused to accede to the terms propos
ed by Mr.. Hill. Both Northern Pacific
and Great Northern have been feeders
of the ST Paul railroad, and, it is said
they will now divert their traffic to the
Burlington. st. Paul, however, ha:
close traffic arrangements with the
Canadian Pacific railroad and can pu
up very hard fight.

puzzling the Des Moines friends of

excursion to Council Bluffs to meet

was too much display about the well
coming of Conger home the enthusi-
asm might get away from the mana
gers. But there will be an excursion, no
matter what the result. A cheap fare
for sthe round trip has been secured
and several hundred admirers of Con-
ger have already signitied their inten-
ton of going to the Bluffs. The peo-
pie out there are making arrangements
for big blowout on the occasion and
then Conger will be duly feted when
he reaches his home. So far as it is
possible to do so no politics will enter
into the reception-but political en-
thusiasm is sometimes hard thing to
control.
