A boy who was killed in the Bronx
recently by lightning had the likeness
of a fern imprinted on his body by the
shock. A similar incident is reported
from Europe. During a shooting compe-
tition at Pont, in the Canton Vaud, the
other day, the grand stand was struck
by lightning and rs persons received
shocks, from which, however, they sus-
tanned but little physical injury. One
most singular effect, however, remained.
Every person who had felt the electric
shock had photographically stamped
upon the back, the face or the arms the

Story Of the Affair.
After being placed in Jail Perkins
made q statement of the incident in
which he exonerated himself and
placed the blame on McKelvey and
Winsloff. claiming that the latter was
responsible for the trouble.
According to his statement he was
travelling with Winsloff from Mardis to
his, Perkins home. and when they were
riding through the Graham ranch
Winsloff suggested that they kill a
steer. Perkins says that he declined
and did all in his power to prevent
Winsloff from committing the offense.
but the latter was persistent and after
Perkins rode away he shot the animal.
Perkins said that he kept on and after
going q short distance met Samuel
Paine and a sister of Charles Graham
to whom he related the incident.
After that he said he returned to
where Perkins was and again refused to
have anything to do with skinning the
animal and carrying away its carcass.
He said that he started on his way
again and was several miles distant
when he met Jim McKelvey, who was
coming with a wagon to help remove
the meat. McKelvey stated that Win.
sloff had met Paine and Miss Graham
and bad settled with them for the steer
aud requested that he (Perkins) accom-.
pany him back to the scene and help
skin the carcass. Perkins said that he
consented and was engaged on the job
when Charles Graham, G. Stockbridge,
Paine and several others rode up with
drawn %revolvers and ordered them to
throw up their hands.

to return and get his team. The cap
tors permitted this, but when he re.
turned it was found that he had cut
away the ears and the brand on the
dead steer. Stockbridge began ~cursinG
him for destroying this evidence. aud
during the trouble McKelvey snatohed
up his rife. Before he could shoot
however, Stocktridge shot him, the
