A Hunting Expedition

THE YOUNG MAN WHO DID THE
HOOTiNG-LEAVES A WIFE.

Relatives of George Heck have re-
ceived detailed information regarding
his death, showing that it was acci.
dental.
While shooting ducks on Iron Noun
tains lake last Friday afternoon Heck
was fatally wounded by the accidental
discharge of Leonard Douglas gun.
Heck, Douglas and Vernie Sample had
gone to the lake for two days hunt
camp Heck and Douglas went out in
the boat. In a few minutes they came
upon some ducks and Heck fired at
them and told Douglas to shoot also.
In the hurry to shoot, the boat was
over turned and Douglas shot struck
Heck in the right side, passing up
ward and entirely through his body.
Both men were thrown into the water,
which at this point was twelve feet
deep In some miraculous manner they
both succeeded in getting to shore.
Heck was taken to Iron Mountain sta
ton just as a train pulled in. BY good
connection he was got TO the sanitar-
ium at Pennington at about 6 O'Clock
but not before he had bled profusely.
His injuries were found to be very
serious and though he rallied and ap-
peared to be getting along nicely all
day Saturday, he was taken worse dur
ing that night and died early Sunday
morning.
Before his death he made a full
statement of the accident, completely
generating Mr.. Douglas from all
blame. He was a member of the J. B
Groves Military band of Pennington
Mo. He leaves a wife and MANY
friends at Doe Run, where he had re.
sided for the past four months.

MEDDL|NC IS CAUSE
OF MANY TROUBLES
The Public Should Not AmuSe
Itself With the Auto
matte Telephones.
STATEMENT BY Mr.. BAILEY,
THERE is ALSO ANOTHER CON-
PLANT THE MANAGEMENT HAS
TO MAKE WHICH is AGAINST
PULLING DIAL UNNECESSARILY

Like the small boy with a screw dri-
yer delights in delving into the myste-
ries of his dollar Ingersol" watch,
there are many older people in Rich
mond in whom the mysterious work
ings of the new automatic telephone
had aroused all their youthful curios-
ity. AS a result, this has been disas-
trous, for VIM. A. Bailey, superintend-
pany, says that many phones have
been put out of commission for the
time being. This meddling causes the
telephone men much worry.
The practice of many has been to
open the telephone boxes and them
selves attempt TO remedy the evils
when the instrument is working badly
This invariably results fatally to the
telephone. So widespread mas become
the practice that to bring it to halt
Mr.. Bailey has struck upon radical
policy. He says that persons caught
tampering with the telephones in this
manner will cause them to be removed
company could not expect to give ser
vice when an inexperienced hand is
constantly tampering.
Make False Calls.
Children and even grown ups" have
caused the company trouble in still an.
other manner There seems to have
been a playful attitude struck by these
people. Many are constantly playing
with the dial, pulling it around many
times. After the fourth time around
the dial rings someone's bell automat
ically, even though the button is not
pressed. Four numbers will secure
some person in the city. The fiftl
number touched will ring the bell oi
the person whose telephone number
is the first four called. This has
caused much trouble and people goinG
to the phone to answer false calls reg
! istered in this manner, invariably fine
no one on the line. Complaints to the
central Office result. Some more trou
bic for the telephone men.
AS a whole, the system is working
nicely. but in one month from now il
will be working still better. One o.
the chief reasons Of bad service in th'
past week. has been due to the fac
that people in many instances are un
acquainted with the manner of oper
ating the automatic instruments.

Mrs. Maria Taylor, CoIored, Is
Feeble But She Still Main
tains a Good Degree of Her
Mental Powers.
TESTIMONY SUFFICIENT
TO CONVICT ACCUSED.
Prosecutor Promises Her Pro-
lection From Threats of the
Poor House-Brought to
Richmond by John Smith.

Mrs. Maria Taylor colored. of this
city. aged 1ol years, and probably the
oldest inhabitant of the state, was Il

tality, Murray was fined 81 and costs

county jail Murray admitted that he
assaulted Wilson, but stated that both
he and Wilson were drunk when the
fight took place, Wednesday night at
the home of Mrs. Taylor. Wilson de-
MED that he was intoxicated and stat
ed that Murray assaulted him while he
was asleep. Mrs. Taylor stated most
vigorously that her grandson is bad
man and tnat he worried her greatly.
He constantly threatens to have me
sent TO the poor house." said the cente-
marian. Prosecutor Jessup told her
that she owned the house in which she
| iiyed and that there Is no danger or
her being sent TO the county intirmary.
! Il will take steps to protect you In
the future from Murray. Rest assured
that he will never trouble you again."
] said Mr.. Jessup.
Mrs. Taylor stated that Wilson was
very good to her. He gave her mon
ey now and then, helped buy the fuel
and provisions and staid at home of
lights TO watch over her. He comes
home nearly every evening about half
past six and he never stays out later
than ten O'clock" said the aged wo-
man. That raises my opinion Of
Steve" replied the prosecutor. Il
never knew before that Steve had any
good attributes.
! Slave of John Smith.
After the case had been disposed of
Mrs. Taylor was asked to relate some
of her experiences while awaiting the
arrival OF the carriage in which she
was to be taken to her home. She
said that she was born March -, 1906,
in North Carolina. Her nanny was
a slave of John Smith, who founded
this city about the time Mrs. Taylor
was BORN She said that she could
rember the war of 1872, the second
revolutionary war" as she called Il,
and that she also remembered the Mez
lean and Civil wars. Il came to RI J.
mond about five or six years before the
Civil war" said Mrs. Taylor. The
place where I am now (meaning the
city building) was nothing but for
est, and where the market house now
stands was a log cabin"
When asked how she happened to
come to Richmond. Mrs. Taylor stated
that John Smith had heard his two
sons remark that when he died they
intended to sell all his slaves in North
Carolina Mr.. Smith stated that he
would never allow his slaves to be sold
so he had them all sent To Richmond.
Shortly after Mrs. Taylor and her
nanny" arrived in this city, John
Smith died.

At a Meeting at Indianapolis,
It Was Decided Not to Start
Any More Saloons in State
Nor Purchase Fixtures.
WILL AID AUTHORITIES
IN ENFORCING THE LAW.
Decision Not to Start Any
More Saloons Means a De-
crease in the Number as
They Have Been Active.

indianapolis, Nov. 1.-THE Indiana
Brewers association enlisted yester-
day afternoon in an independent tenn
perance movement of its own when il
decided informally not to start any
more saloons in this state and to dis
continue purchasing fixtures for
friendly saloon men. 1t was determin-
ed that henceforth the brewers shall
not advance funds for support of the
saloons handling their beer and also
that the association would assist the
authorities in enforcing the Nicholson
law.
Sometime ago the Indianapolis
Brewers association, led by Albert
Lieber, Crawford Fairbanks and JOS
eph Schaf. decided not to start any
more saloons in Indianapolis for two
years. They expected to ease the an
tisaloon agitation by limiting the
number of saloons and attempting to
drive out dive keepers.
These matters received consider
alton yesterday afternoon at a meet
ing of the state association. About
forty members, representing practical
ly every brewery in Indiana. gathered
about an elaborate banqueting board
and discussed the situation in a heart
to heart manner.
The brewers of the state decided
that they would assist the authorities
in wedding out the bad and irrespon-
sible saloon men," said Joseph e Bell.
attorney for the Brewers association.
The brewers believe that enough sa-
looms are in operation in the state of
Indiana. They will not assist in start
ing any new saloons. The brewers
will also give the authorities all en-.
couragement possible in enforcing the
liquor laws of the state
There was nothing political in the
/ discussion, it was said. Not a word
was said about legislative candidates
or attempting to line up with any can
didate for governor. The brewers. it
was said, decided that it would be
! better in the long run to cut politics
and TO attempt to better their business
conditions.
mednS decrease IN Number.
The decision not to start any more
saloons probably will mean a mater
ial decrease in the number Of saloons.
! as the brewers started about a third
OF those now in business. The pres
ent conditions brought about by the
anti-saloon crusade were disquieting
! to the members of the association and
many OF them seem to feel that it will
! be advisable hereafter 10 assist in en-.
| 1orcement of the anti-salOon laws.
1t was decided at the meeting that
! the price of beer shall be increased
according to the ideas of the brewers
in the various cities. The price OF
hops and other materials as we'll as
of labor have increased and the brew
ers said it would be necessary to de
mand more for beer.
Hereafter no brewer will sell teer
and take the risk of getting the bot
ties back. The buyer must Day fol
the bottles. It he returns them he
will receive rebate. but the brewers
will not stand for the loss. Charles
Hartman. president of the association

BURLINGTON FIGHTS
MONEY SHARKS.

Denver, Nov. l4.-Arguments were
heard yesterday in the supreme court
in case which involves the right of an
employe to assign future wages The
question is one of great importance to
laboring men of the state, especially
those who have been in the habit of
assigning wages.
Some time ago three men employed
by the Burlington railroad assigned
their future wages to the Employees
Credit company. The railroad refuses
to honor the claim on the ground that
the employees could not assign. The
company brought suit and and secured
a judgment for $40. The Burlington
appealed the case and it was argued
yesterday. The railroad says that no
one has the right to assign anything
that does not belong to him and that

Confession OF STEVE ADAMS.

Rathdrum, Ida, Nov. l4.-The intro
ducton of the confession of Steve Ad-

Tyler is the chief point so far gained
by the state. That part of the confes-
sion relating to the murder follows:
We went in one night, Newt Glov-
cr, Avah Mason and myself, to Simp-
kins cabin, made some coffee and had
breakfast, and in the morning we went
over to try to catch Tyler in his cabin
on Jack Simpllins' claim. He was gone
50 we laid there until sundown. He
never returned, and we started up to
spring, and while were were drinking
we heard some one coming. / said,
All right, | am glad of it / got my
Winchester and, standing by the side
of the trail, never moved ! saw it
was Tyler coming; he had n big gun
buckled ON him. I stepped out on the
trail and told him to throw up his
hands. We then disarmed him, took
him to Simpkins' cabin and stopped
there until morning, when we took him
three miles out in the timber and killed
him.
