He Was Shot
From the Bushes

st. Maries, Idaho, Aug. 24.--The de-
liberate assassination of Ed Boulley on
the trail between Marble creek and
Mica creek, is shown by late reports Of
the killing Saturday. First reports
were that N. Lindsay had been killed
with him, but Lindsay escaped with a
bullet through his arm.
Boulley and Lindsay were accused
of being claim jumpers, and feeling
has been running high against them.
About two months ago Boulley was
shot and wounded in a similar case,
and his companion at that time was
killed.
Lindsay gives the following account
of the shooting:
"Boulley and were at the creek
getting water, and Boulley was stoop-
ing over to take a drink. when heard
the report of gun and be fell over on
to me.
81 ran for the trees, and while rum
ming bullet struck me in the arm.
Not soul could be seen anywhere, the
shots coming from thick brush.
From behind tree, saw 10 bullets
pumped into Boulley s PROSTATE body"
All parties supposed to have any
knowledge of the affair are reticent,
and an effort will apparently be made
to shield the murderer or murderers,
and the officers can count on little aid
from the settlers.
Morhla orooI1 No.uc into tho Too
Is miles above the head of navigation.
The officers who went to the scene
will have to cover that 10 miles in
large dugout canoes, which are poled
over the swift water. 1t takes day
Of hard struggle with the swift current
to cover that distance.
The trouble that eliminated in this
tragedy has been brewing for months.
Enticed by the fine timber, many set
tiers have gone on the upper reaches of
the many st. Joe and acquired squat
ters' rights" on unsurveyed lands.
These rights are claimed under the
homestead laws, which permit settler
"squatting" on unsurveyed public land
to exercise the first filing right when
the LANDS are finally surveyed and
thrown open to entry.
Recently it is claimed, men in the
employ Of lareg timber companies have
been jumping and threatening to jump
a number of these "squatter" claims,
on the ground that the land was more
for timber than for agricul.
tural uses, and that the squatters were
not acting in good faith
The body of Tyler, the claim jumper
whose disappearance has been coupled
with the murder of Frank Boulley in
the Marble Creek district, has been
found. 1t was lying behind log not
far from his cabin riddled with bullets.
A deputy sheriff is reported as having
made the find. and the body shows in.
lications of having been dead week
or more.
Three distinct theories of the killing
are advanced. One is that Boulley and
Tyler were killed and Lindsay shot at
by land owners and parties angry at
the men on account Of claim jumping.
A second is that Lindsay and Boulley
Killed Tyler and later quarreled, and
that Lindsay then killed Boulley.
That avenging husband killed Frank
Boulley is the latest story to come
down the river.

Excursions To The Circus.

Special excursion rates on all lines
of travel have been arranged for by
the management OF Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows and those
who wish to go to Watertown July ii

so at very little expense. This will
be the only point in this vicinity
where the show will exhibit this sea-
son, and no one should miss the

Brothers circus has been the leading
arenic exhibition of America for years,
but the show has never been permitted
to rest upon its reputation. Although
it long ago passed the point of compe-
titiOn, every season sees a greater and
grander show. This years perfor-
nance is entirely new, and entails the
combined efforts of 375 wonderful
artists in the equestrian gymnastic,
equilibristiC, aCrobatic and aerial line,
together with forty famous clowns and
hundreds Of lesser lights. Six hund-
red and fifty horses are used and a
mary 4lous trained animal department
is pi serted. The circus this season
j. -,e,dly enlarged by the spectacular
production of Jerusalem and the CRU
sades, q pantomimic presentation Of
the well known and beautiful histori-
cal narrative of the Crusaders. The
vast menagerie has among hundreds
OF features the only living pair of gi-
raffes, the first baby elephant success
fully bred and reared in America, and
the only rhinoceros in captivity.
There is a gorgeous revival of the
Roman hippodrome races, and many
other stupendous features inthis great
circus. Circus day opens with brill
liant street parade, three miles in
length. Don't fail to see it.

A Retraction.

In the May number OF The Ladies
Home Journal we published in the
article entitled "The Patent-Medicine,
Curse" an analysis of doctor
Pierce's Fayorite Prescription" in
which that preparation was represented
a. containing, among other ingredi-
ents, tincture of digitalis, tincture OF
opium, and alcohol. Immediately
upon publication of the number
suit for damages was instituted by
X. V. Pierce Medical Company, of
Buffalo, New York, proprietOrs OF the
preparation in question, against The
Curtis Publishing Company, based
upon the claim that none of the three
! ingredients was contained in the
medicine.
Upon the filing Of the suit, we, OF
course, Immediately looked into the
published analysis. 1t appears that
this particular analysis had been made,
! if made at all, fully twenty-five years
ago. We thereupon employed three
| leading chemists in different cities to
make an analysis OF the preparation
from bottles bought in the open mar
! ket. Their analyses, one and all, now
show to US conclusively that not a
! single one of the ingredients mention
ed by us in the analysis quoted-that
is, either digitalis, opium or alcohol
1. ,l,-s,. Il
We then-the President of this Com
pany and the writer-persOnally visited
/ The K. Y. Pierce Medical Company,
1T Buffalo, and were there convinced
that the officers OF the Company were
absolutely truthful in their claim that
not one of these injurious ingredients
was contained in doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription" Naturally,
since the analysis we printed has been
proved erroneous, the deductions made
in connection with this preparation
were unwarranted and unfounded.
Under these circumstances it is now
perfectly plain to US that this maga-
zine was unintentionally, but never
theless absolutely mis- led in making
the original statement, and we hereby,
of our own volition, make this unqual-
flied acknowledgment Of our mistake
to The r. V. Pierce Medical Company
and our readers.
The mistake was honestly made,
but it was a mistake. July Number

Child Burned to Death

Mrs. VIM. Pool arrived in the city
last week from Minnesota to remain
with relatives for a time. We are told
that in the absence of her husband
their home was destroyed by fire and
that the youngest child peri,hed in
the flames. It seems that they had
established home in the woods about
forty miles from Atkin. Mr.. Pool
was absent from home and Mrs. Pool
started smudge to keep off the mis-
quitoes. She then took one OF the
children and went out on the lake.
On her return she found her home in
ashes and was compelled to remain
alone until Mr.. POOLS return. Ii is
indeed narrowing tale and a sad
home coming for Mrs. Pool.

DR.. CHALMERS AT ELGIN
Masonic Temple Dedicated Princi-
pal Address.

DR.. James Chalmers, of Bookings,
). Dakota, was the principal speaker
at the dedication of the new Masonic
temple Saturday evening. The SUBJ
iect of his address was "Temple Build
ing and Character Building" DR..
Chalmers was formerly member of
Monitor lodge and that he considered
himself still 10 be, as he had as yet
Joined no other, although his demit
had been issued. He had been one of
the most interested supporters OF the
building project while he was here, so
that his words had deep significance.
DR.. Chalmers said that he some
times preached and that although he
was not going to deliver a sermon,
from force of habit he thought he
would speak from a text. He selected
for his text the most appropriate words
of the "Chambered Nautilus by
Holmes: Build thee more stately
mansions, O my soul, while the swift
seasons roll" The mansions being
built by the MasOns are their own
characters and the characters of those
with whom they come in contact. The
great work of Masonry is character
building, and all its aims are toward
that end. If a man lives up to his
Masonic obligations his character will
be strong and noble and his daily life
will be above reproach. The work OF
the lodge, the church, the home, and
the schools is character building. ~
