FOOT BADLY CRUSHED
BY AN ELECTRIC GAR
George Reed, Fourteen Year Old
Boy, the Victim of Very Serious
Accident.

One of the most deplorable events
that seem to attend the life of all
young people, and particularly healthy.
lively and good natured boys. occurred
late yesterday afternoon, when little
George Reed, aged II, fell in some
way from the Indian school electric
car and suffered the terrible Managing
of his left foot and a severe though
not serious injury to his right foot. His
father George R. Reed. of SO West
Washington street, was sent for and
came at once, staying at his bedside
during the succeeding trying hours.
The little fellow was taken into
Lund's drug store. which was the
nearest place where relief seemed pos
sible. bur il was seen at once that
treatment required the best of surgry
and il was not a case where first aid"
would avail anything. The boy. who
was suffering intensely and bleeding
prOfusely from his wounds, was re-
moved at once to the office of DR..
Stewart in the Nicholson building,
where an anaesthetic was administer
ed and where the dressing Of the ter
rible injury was undertaken. Doctors
Dysart and Craig were also called and
DIR. Reed, an uncle of the little suf-
ferer. was also present. though as l.
stated he was almost unnerved by the
incident for George was his favorite
child and a lad he loved almost as he
would his own son.
After the washing Of the foot it pre-
scented a sight even More narrowing
than before for the removal of the
Clotted blood disclosed a condition the
seriousness OF which it was hoped had
been Overestimated. The skin appear
ed to have been cut almost as with
cleaver from a point just in front of
the heel on either side, to a point on
top and just back Of the toes, then
lifted up. laying bare the entire in
step. More terrible than that the in
step had been crushed, or squeezed so
that almost every bone and tendon
was either loOsencd. dislOcated or cut
After a temporary dressing the pa
tient was removed to the Sisters hos
pital where Doctor Stewart and those
assisting him removed one small bone
from the foot, arranged the other mem
bers as they should be, and replaced
the skin, an operation requiring some
fifty or sixty stitches. From the first
a grave doubt existed as 10 whether
the foot could be saved but late last
evening the physicians announced that
they had strong hope that amputation
would not be necessary. The little
fellow withstood the operation nicely
and about o'clock last evening was
restored from the Inconsistencies due
TO the anaesthetic.
The injury to the right foot is a

mere flesh wounds, and when COM

twice gathered in what are called
family budgets. the housekeeping
accounts of a large number of
workingmen families ascertaining
in this way the average expenditure
for each of the different items
which enter into the cost of living.
The last of these budgets was col
lected in 1901 and covered the ex-
penses of 25,440 families, of which
1857 were in great detail. These
families were scattered throughout
all parts of the United States. The
investigation showed that the av-
erage workingman' family had an
income of sS27.19 and spent s76S,54,
saving $3.50. The following table
shows how this average was divid-
ed among the different items of ex-
penditure:

STAND

WALLACE, Feb. 21.-On the
witness stand yesterday afternoon
Detective MCFARLAND related his
part in drawing confessions from
Steve Adams in the Boise peniten-
tiary upon which the state partly
bases its case in the Steunenberg
assassination. MCFARLAND told how
he had spent day with Adams at
the penitentiary, had given him
cigars and talked with him for
hours in an effort to bring out testi
mony to corroborate Orchards con-
fession. He admitted telling Adams
about the case Of Kelly, the Bum"
who murdered and was released be-
cause he turned states evidence,
and assured Adams that the state
always acted fair" with those who
acted fair. ty the state.
He had made another visit to
Adams and the confession it is
claimed MCFARLAND secured from
the prisoner duplicating Orchard
for the murder of Steunenberg will
be read in court today unless the
defense succeeds in blocking it.
The trial was given a dramatic
tinge yesterday by the declaration
of Patrick Ryan, a young man who
came into court and sat down by
Adams, that lie killed Tyler. Ryan
then broke out into insane utter
ance, declaring that Alice Roose-
welt had come to Burke and direct
ed him to lool: after Adams. Ryan
was removed and will be tried for
insanity. He said he came to Ida
no from Washington and had been
in the Montana penitentiary fol
stealing sheep.

FOR MAYOR

II. d. Merritt, reputed leader OF
the local Highlander democrats. is
suspected of working up sentiment
in favor of \. S. Pratt to head the
democratic ticket for the coming
spring election. Merritt says he is
only working in the interests of
Frank ]. Dorsey, who wants to be
councilman from the Fifth ward,
but around the city hall it is openly
asserted that Merritt is first lieu
tenant for Mr.. Pratt and is doing all
he can Merritt foresees the pas
sage of the emergency clause in the
direct primary bill which would per-
nit the selection of candidates d.
rect by the people in the coming
city election.
Mayor Daggett this morning
stated that he was in the hands of
the democratic central committee
and that the committee favors the
direct primary. He is confident Of
the nomination either in conven-
ton or direct by the democratic
voters. The mayor said:
IF could not secure the nomina
ton direct, would not want it.
What's the good Of getting the NOM
ination unless your party generally
wants you?"
Mr.. Merritt is said to have lost
his job as political representative
Of the Graves people. The ojb is
said to have carried with it a sal
airy of $3.50 a month all the year
round and it was not to be sneezed
at. The place is still open and the
Graves people want it filled before
the city campaign gets too hot. But
Mr.. Merritt declares that while he
is credited with holding such a job
it wasn't true. He didn't even run

When the time came that Louise
was forced to leave the stage, the
couple lived for a time upon the
scant bounty of her poor father,
who could earn but 50 a week. Then
babe was born, and soon the
count disappeared. Next day two
men and nurse, who claimed to
be ENJOYS from the counts family,
arrived and took charge of affairs.
Louise had been gaining
strength. Now, under the care of a
too attentive nurse, she gradually
waned away and died, suffering ex-
cruciating pain.
Her family, suspecting plot, re-
ported the case to the police and
arrests were made. 1t Is believed
that the attendants upon the unfor-
tunate woman were members of the
Malta, to which organization the
count is known to belong. Sensa-
tional testimony Is expected at the
trial.
