SHOT WIFE, KILLED HIMSELF
SaSSer Negro Turns Gun on Alleged
FaithIess Woman, and Then Emp
ties Load into Own Body.

Sam Howard, after emptying the
load of one barrel of his shot gun in
to his wife near Sasser, on Sunday,
walked a few hundred yards away and
turned the contents of the other barrel
into his own body. The woman, while
seriously wounded, will very likely
recover.
1t seems that Towards wife had run
away with another man, which fact
led to her husbands deed. He met
her in the road Sunday morning and,
with an accusing word, raised a gun
which he carried and shot her down.
Believing her to be dead he left her
body in the public road and went out
into the woods some distance, where
he turned the deadly weapon upon
himself.
Both Howard and the woman were
found shortly afterwards His wound
was mortal, and he died Monday
morning.

WILL ENFORCE THIS ORDINANCE
Those Who Throw Trash into Streets
Will Be Punished.

Notice is given elsewhere IN THE
NEWS that the ordinance forbidding
the throwing of vines, shrubbery and
trash of any kind into the streets of
the city will henceforth be enforced.
No trash so disposed of will be gath
cred up by the street cleaning depart
ment, but will remain in the streets as
prima facie evidence against the party
who puts it there.
There is no ordinance in the city
code perhaps which is so universally
violated as this one, and the pronun-
ciamento of the mayor and council
will probably mean the making of
numerous cases against such Of

A S Years of Construction.

A New York dispatch reads as fol-
lows: Now that the five-year task of
reconstruction has been completed by
the roads of the Hartman system,
tive-year period Of strenuous building is
about 10 be entered upon.
With the 81 200, 900 Of new preferred
stock voted by the Union Pacific at Salt
Lake, the $4,000, 900 mortgage of the
Southern Pacific, and the $780, OOO, 900 of
Southern Pacific preferred stock, there
is vast sum available for construction
purposes and with this it is intended to
literally gridiron the west.
Already $50 miles of new road is under
construction. For this $4,000 600 has
been set aside.
An additional 100000 will be re-
quired for the Central Oregon line,
which together with those already
started, is expected to be completed by
the close of next year.
But this is but the beginning. The
campaign is to continue until for every
branch line now existing there are two,
for it is branch lines which Hartman
wants as feeders for his great transcon-
tinental system.
He looks out upon the vast plains and
hills of Oregon, Nevada, Utah. Wyo-

men that Hartman will turn 60 his
former lieutenant. Horace G. Burt. as
superintendent of constru, ton. Since
his retirement from the presidency of
the Union Pacific. two years ago, Mr..
Burt has toured the globe.
On this long journey. studying rail
road construction problems in foreign
lands, he is said to have been ON the
pay roll of Hartman, who once re-
marked that Mr.. Burt was the greatest
construction engineer the world had
ever known.

had occasion, in the early days of
June, to tramp for some miles along
an abandoned road which skirted a
mountain side, following ridge of
the foothills, and overlooking wide
valley of farm land and pasture, while
far beyond there was the dim green
line of the Vermont mountains in the
west. 1t was in the late afternoon,
the finest hours of all the day, for a
Westering SUI made golden glow
over the near fields, and the live
things in the wood were lifting their
voices in an evening symphony. AS l
walked along, it pleased me to pick
out the various sounds which went to
make up this music.
Near me were all sorts of noises
that told of lurking animals A quick,
startled rustic in the dry grass told OF
frightened meadow mouse; red
squirrel cheeped sharply from a
thicket, scolding like a little shrew;
and down in The pasture, out OF my
sight, l heard the whistle of a wood
chuck. AS if IN contrast to that came
a noise that told me of the presence
of the nOblest American animal OF all.
I was just at the edge Of the great
game preserve, Corbin park, and my
ear caught the hoarse grunt of the
