KILLED BY CHANGING euLLET.-

L =
 The Clifton Copper Era says: Mexican boy about fifteeen years of age and the son of MT. Brown, of Guthrie. who is about eight years cd, were out shooting Monday last with small gun. The Mexican poy had the gun, and fired into some rocks. when the ball glanced, and returned, striking him in the head. He fell into the river, but the little fellow managed to drag him partly out of the water, and then ran home for help. Dr. Burtch was telephoned for and went down tc the boys home. He found that the bullet had lodged in the boys brain, and that his life could not be saved. He fingered until Tuesday morning at 1 o'clock.
 AN EARLY GOLD STRIKE.-Chas. Davies, the well known mining man, has recently made a find in the Cave Creek country. For long time MT. Davies and his sons have been the own CTS of the Mormon Girl mine negotia- tions for tke sale of which are now pending. About a month ago MT. Davies discovered a ledge in property adjoining the Mormon Girl. He and others had passed over it a thousand times during a period of several years. He has done very little work on the ledge which at the depth at which he now is is eight feet Recently he brought to town samples taken from across the ledge and he found their average value to be S3O.
 CHAMPION FLY klLLER.-Phoe nix has champion fly killer who has been in training ever since the fly sea- son opened and is now ready to accept a challenge from any one who disputes his title. His only stipulation is that the opposiig contestant shall not be permitted to use the some sort of an instrument of destruction he does, as It is his own invention and while he has not patented it he claims exclusive rights. He may be seen at practice al- most any afternoon at his store on the north side of Washington street and the way he kills flies is certainly ap pailing. His location is perfect for the best results as the environment is peculiarly attractive to flies and he has studied their habits till he has got their execution down to a scientific certainty. He can tell by the feel of the air when fly is approaching and can also tell just where the insect will light. He times the landing of his death dealing missile before the fly realizes where he is at. He is perfect acting, automatic and Johnny on the spot. And he is humane too, has the sticky fly paper skinned a mile. Thou sands of flies who are tired of life come his way for nc other purpose than to get killed.
 A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.-The Young Tobe Hoxie company of which Ernest Lamson of this city. is star and business promoter as well as author of the play closed it's season in Gales burg, Ill.,, playing to good houses. In the Galesburg Mail of May 7th Mir. I4amson is quoted as saying: Our season has been a decided success, all things considered. As is generally known, this winter has been one of the most disastrous on record for theatrical people for many and varied reasons. and as far as we know our company is the only company in the country carry. ing a new star and a new play which has finished it's season as outlined at the opening. I will remain in Gales burg few days to finish up some busi- ness and will then go to New York tn straighten out all matters for the coEI- ing year. That finished, I will go to my home in Phoenix, Arizona, and spend the summer on the ranch I will store all my scenery and effects with the Galesburg Storage company here and will open my season again next fall at this point. If arrangements can be made the company will hold it's rehearsals here.> The company next
 
 of this year and will be strengthened somewhat. Miss Knott of course will remain with me-
