had on only his undergarments, coat and
trousers, and had put on his shoes without
having taken time to find his hosiery. The
appearance of the man indicated to DR..
Dorsey that his story of the shooting was
correct, and the subsequent investigation
made by the physician was even more con-
vincing.

that he and his wife had quarreled, and
admitted that the affair was Of rather
serious nature. Leading the way for the
officers, Mr.. Copley assembled the steps and
went to the room in which the shooting had
occurred
Where is the baby?' the policeman in
quired, recalling that he had seen the child
only few days ago.
Lying there asleep" the father respond

Where Infant Was Sleeping.
1t was when Lieut. Falvey reached the
house a few minutes later and pulled the
covering from the little one that the bullet
hole in her head was revealed. The infant
was sleeping upon a little bed that had
been made on two chairs against the bed
in which the mother had shot herself

beer with the sang 'froid OF plain

sausages by one.
Two more gulps Of beer and second

Washing these down, he concluded that
he needed a sausage and got 1t; then

where there are live oak trees they
have not leafed out this year. 1t has
been so long since a good rain fell
that everything is in a most deplor-
able condition.
Mr.. Dorian reports that one of the
leading ranchmen Of that section iu-
formed him that he had already
skinned more than 900 head of cat
tie, which had died on his ranch Of
starvation, and the end is not yet
All over that country cattle have
died In large numbers and are still
dying. There is no grass and stock
water is so scarce that the animals
either have to travel long distances
to reach it, or else slowly starve to
death In the denuded vicinity Of the
various water holes
While the cattlemen of that section
are suffering such serious losses, the
shepmen are faring but little better
The majority of the sheep raisers Of
that country were compelled to kill
their entire lamb crop as fast as II
materialized, in order to save the
lives of the mother ewes.
Thousands Of lambs were killed in
this manner, and this loss will fall
heavy on the owners, as II detracts
that much from what would have
been the annual profit.

cessful head by the 401 club at noon
today, says the La GranIe Observer.
Everything assisted to make 1t bet
ter than planned. The train was late
and arrived here when a large num-
ber of people were at the dining car
tables, and needless to say the Hun
garian prune jelly supplied by Mrs.
George L. Cleaver and distributed TO
the cars by the ladies IN charge with
appropriate cards naming the compli-
mentary parties, attached. and in

were grown here and the jelly made

Hepburn Likes Carey Act.

Senator Hepburn Of Idaho, said to
the Lewiston Teller yesterday of the
need Of more land under the Carey
act: "There are many important
measures that will come before con-
gress that cannot be anticipated.
They come at short notice and fur
nish the zest of the session, which
otherwise would be a cut-an-dried
affair. think Of one thing espe-
cially interesting to Idaho that 1 will
urge at this session, and that is to
ask for an increase Of lands that the
state may take under the Carey act.
Idaho5s quota of 100000 acres has
about been exhausted, and I shall
ask for another millionaire grant.
This has proven very beneficial law
and Idaho has made some wonderful
development Of the lands taken un-
der this act"
