WASHINGTON, OREGON and IDAHO
BOISE BOY LOSES Two FINGERS
Playing With Loaded Cartridge, Ex-
pIosion Follows, With Deadly
Effect.

BOISE, July 31.-Leslie Hayes, the
11-year-old son of Mrs. Emma Hayes,
who resides at 61O North Ninth street,
is minus the two first fingers and
thumb of his left hand as the result of
a cartridge exploding in his hand Sum-
day morning.
The lad was on his way from his
home to the home of Ross Miner, cor
ner of Sixth and Washington streets,
where his mother is employed. He was
gouging at a cartridge he had in his
hand with a sulphur match. The boy
does not know what was the size of
the cartridge, but he had taken out
the ball and was trying to loosen the
powder.
When about a block from the Miner
home the powder exploded, completely
tearing off the ends of his two fingers
and thumb.

POURED BOOZE INTO JAIL WINDOW
Three PocateIio Men Heavily Fined
for Quenching Thirst Of
Prisoners.

POCATELLO, Idaho, July 31.-The
three men who were caught by Officer
Meyers the other day in the act OF
pouring whisky through a funnel to
prisoners in the city Jail, were hauled
into Police Judge Know:es' court and
charged with being drunk and disor-
derby and resisting an officer. John
Lowell one of the trio, who objected
to being placed in Jail, and who fought
with Officer Meyers until the latter
was compelled to lam Lowell over the
head with a cell lock, was fined $50.
The prisoners put up a touching
plea to the court, saying that they did
not know it was against the law to
pour booze into the Jail windows to
thirsty inmates.
For fear you may in the future
forget that such a thing is contrary to
the usages of polite society,"" said
Judge Knowles, Il will impress it upon
your minds. twenty-five dollars for

A Case Of Tact.

Thomas F. Kelly, the noted Irish
weight thrower, had been told that
the Irish were very popular in Amer
lea.
Il can readily believe that" Mr..
Kiely replied. 1.-The Irish are popular
everywhere The secret of their pom
ularity is tact.
"An Irishman sat at home with his
wife one evening, he reading the news
paper, she doing various household
jobs.
Finally the lady rang for the maid
and said:
"'Here, Anna take this postcard and
put it in the letterbox outside
"Then the tactful Irishman ex-
claimed:
"'Surely, my love, you can't think Of
making this poor girl run down three
flights of stairs and up again for the
