SHOT DOWN BY A HUNTER
Death of Paulus Cannot Be Explained
In Any Other Way.

In ANY Other way.
BLACKDUCK, MINI. Oct. 22.-sim-
on Paulus, homesteader living near
Langor postoffice, was found in the
woods near his nome with a bullet
hole in the back of his head, his body
indicating that he had been dead sew
eral hours. The superstition is that he
was mistaken for deer and shot, the
man who did the shooting afterward
discovering his error and making mis-
escape from the vicinity.
Paulus went out in the early morn
ing with his rifle and agreed with mis-
wife that she should blow horn as
signal that breakfast was ready.
Mrs. Paulus, sometime after Paulus
left, gave the signal, but received no
response, and after waiting nearly an
hour, went to the home of a neighbor
named Andrew Dexter. She ascertain
ed that ner husband had not been
there. Dexter went out to search for
Paulus and found his body in the
woods, with bullet hole in the back
OF the head. Beside the body lay the
dead mans rifle, and there was load
ed cartridge in the chamber, indicat-
ing that the bullet in the head mad
come from another rifle. There was
nothing near Paulus to indicate the
presence of a second person.

Gun Fighter Says Average Man

Good intentions are Of no account

who sixteen years ago passed through
some exciting times as town marshal
in the more uncivilized regions Of the
southwest. Nerve and a thorough
knowledge of the weapon are requireqd
to qualify man to carry gun.
"Since became converted and join
ed the army I have, Of course, quit
the revolver cold, but I guess that
before that time I accumulated ex-
perience to qualify me to give advice"
said Captain Klein. "My advice to the
reputable citizen who is thinking Of
buying revolver and defending him
self against highwaymen is. don't
do it.
Don't Carry a Gun.
"DonIt do it, The average man
turned loose with gun is a menace
to himself and the community If he
meets a real bandit he will be the one
to go to the hospital or the morgue.
He will be a candidate for one place
or the other long before he gets MS
artillery into action. If he does shoot

clears, ne will find that he has downed
the president Of the Christian Endeavor
society, who is on his way home from
the mid-week prayer meeting, and not
the bloody bandit he thought he was
facing. Don't carry gun unless you
know something about it, and if you
know much about it you will leave it
at home without being told.
"There are times and circumstances
when the hold-up man can be wiped
out with ease, but it takes a man with
good nerve and skill to do it. If your

Blackheads are nothing more or less

Bullet Does the Work.

Naturally, when he covers you, he
feels that you are helpless. and If you
shoot without warning, 1t is compare
lively easy to get him. This stunt calls
for nerves that are tuned to the second
and the ability to shoot straign with
out looking at your gun. Once a bull
let is planted you are comparatively
safe. A heavy caliber bullet will knock
a man down like a blow from your
fist. One man, the last had difficult
ties with, shot twice after I had two
fourty four caliber bullets in him, but
he shot wild, and I had been shooting
to cripple his arms and not to kill
"For myself, I am through with gun
fighting. The days when I made my
living by being a better shot than all
the bad men in the community are
done with. Firearms are always dam
gerous things, and in the hands Of a
man who is not used to them they
are doubly dangerous. Dangerous to
himself and dangerous to the inoffen-
sive people he is liable to meet on the
street at night"
