AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Charles Hill Instantly Killed by
the Accidental Disc -ge Of a
Winchester Rifle.

Charles Hill and T. L. Bruce
drove out to Mr.. Hills old farm
four miles northwest of Mexico,
last Friday evening, Mr.. Hill taxi
ing his rifle along. A little after
8 O'Clock they began to load into
their buggy to return home.
Mr.. Hill took FIVE shells from
his gun aud Mr.. Bruce asked him
if he was sure he had them all out
to which Mr.. Hill replied yes, and
the latter went to the back end Of
the buggy to put the gun in. He
took it by the barrel and was push
ing it under the seat. But, fatal hap,
he had left one shell in, the trig-
ger or hummer of the gun was
pulled and a bullet crashed into
Mr.. Hills breast, killing him in
stantly. He was carried to the
house-Lwhere g. M. Fox now
lives aud a physician telephoned
for, but it was soon seen that
there was no help.
Coroner's inquest was held next
morning-jury composed of James
Ford, G. F. Bush, A. w. Paulin,
VIM. Creasey, John Blum and
Alex Carter. Their verdict was
that he came to his death accident
ally by his own hands.
The body was brought to Mex
leo, to the home of the deceased's
only brother, Mr.. John Hill, and
Sunday afternoon it was taken to
Sun Rise church for interment, flu
neral conducted by Revs. A. w.
Kokendoffer and A. A. Wallace
Mr.. Hill was member of both
the Elk and Eagle lodges and was
popular with all who knew him in
timately. The Mexico Daily In
telligencer pays him the following
tribute;
CHARLES HILL, GENTLEMAN. DEAD.
A man of strong character, ear
nest convictions, big heart and
sympathetic nature, he will be
missed by many who knew him
we'll enough to love.
Recently in talking to the writer
the deceased said that his life had

, lated having been seriously injured
: several times by horses, and final
ly spoke Of the accidental death o
! his wife several years ago, ending
with the remark that something
was about due to happen to hin
! soon, according to the chair
of events.
Two evenings before his unex

Selma Meat Inspection Law Goes Into ERect-OnIy short Respite
 in Prospect for the
Advertiser Bureau.


 within the next few weeks the work of extending the track of the street ear line from it's present terminus at the head of Union Street in the west ern part of the city will be started The new section of track will run westward down Jeff Davis Avenue for a short distance and will then turn and make a loop through the west end addition. It will go through that ad- dition to the city which is rapidly building up and turn down towards Church Street and will probably be ex- tended on to some other streets which have not yet been decided upon berore if connects with the main lines of the car company on the principal streets. The extending of the car line through the new section of the city and bring ing it back to the business part of the town through streets over which cars have not been operated heretofore will prove a source of great convenience to the residents of the western part of the city and will also add greatly to the revenue of the car company.
 All of the necessary material for the commencement of the laying of the new track is being received and 1t is thought that the work will be com menced within a very short while. There has been some talk for some time past that the lines of the car company would be extended over the city several miles within the next year or so but whether the company is con- sidering any such plans Is not known.
