lives but it cannot yet be deter
mined whether his efforts will
prevail. Miss Carlson's wound
in the head is serious and the
bullet has not been located. It
will perhaps be several days be-
fore it can be determined wheth-
er the wound will prove fatal or
not, as is also the case with the
little boy who is really in a more
serious condition than is his sis
ter.
Owing to the strong talk of
lynching Marshal Baker took his
prisoner to Grangeville late last
night and put him in the county
Jail for safe keeping.
At the time of the tragedy
only Mrs. Carlson, Helga and
the little boy were at home, Mr..
Carlson and the Oldest boy being
at the Matthiesen sale.
The victim of the drunken
mans fury is nice, quiet young
lady of 18 years of age and is
we'll known and esteemed
throughout the entire commune
ty. She has lived with her par
ents here since childhood and
never a word has been spoken
against her. That the crime
against her was premeditated is
shown by the fact that Eagen
borrowed the gun with which he
did the shooting, a Al calibre
here in town and on Wednesday
tried to catch the girl as she
went home from visiting with
her aunt, Mrs. S. ]. Peterson, il
this city.
Eagen is a man about 35 year!
of age and is a contractor on tht
railroad now being built across
the prairie, He has a three milk
contract through this place anC
has been at work here since las
fall. He has appeared quiet anC
taciturn most of the time anC
drank quite heavily at times.
The outcome of the shooting
will be awaited with interest AM
all are strong in expressing
hopes for the recovery Of tn
victims.
County Attorney Griffith ant
Sheriff Brown were over las
night in connection with tn
case and stated that no charg
would be filed against Eagen un
til it can be learned whether O
not his victims will recover. H

Ferdinand Growing Nicely.

The writer visited Ferdinand
Tuesday and found everything
moving along nicely there and
the town making a healthy
growth. Several dwellings and
a new livery stable are now in
course of construction and new
business blocks are also con-
templated.
The citizens are now at work
grading up the main street and
digging bitches under the side
walks on each side to carry off
the water in winter and spring.
This is a good move and will be
a great improvement in the ap-
pearance of the town.
Frank M. Bieker, owner of the
Ferdinand townsite, has decided
to supply the town with water
for fire prtection and other use'
and has placed an order for the
pipe with which to install tn,
system. He will lead the watel
from a large spring on his farm
west of town to a reservoir anC
from thence through a 4-incl
main into town, laying the mali

Isn't it about time those Fourth
of July committees were getting ac-
tive? 1t is only a couple weeks
more until the Fourth and there is
still much to be done.
Mr.. Schroeder, proprietor of the
Grangeville steam laundry, says he
may soon decide to install an up to
date laundry of that kind at this
place He has been collecting
laundry here for some time and
SAYS the way his trade is increas-
ing will soon justify him in putting
in a branch house. Cottonwood is
badly in need of a good steam laun-

escaped from the penitentiary al

Gilbert told his cell mates at the
pen that if he ever got out he
would kill the jurymen who con
victed him and also several wit
nesses who testified against him
consequently he is a dangerou
man to be at large.

On Sunday the Forest team, of
which considerable had been
said, appeared on the scene and
were ingloriously trailed in the

home team played winning ball
from the start and had the
jack pine savages clearly out

visitors could not get a score but
in the sixth they succeeded in

To Murder Sweetheart
loM EAdEN SHOOTS HELdA CARLSON AND LITTLE
BROTHER THEN TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE
MURDERER NOW IN COUNTY JAIL.

A shooting scrape which may
perhaps result in the death of
two persons and perhaps the
hanging or life Imprisonment of
another occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at the A. ]. Carlson
home south of this placs when
Tom Eagen, who has charge of
the railroad camp at this place,
in a drunken fury over disap-
pointment in love shot and seri-
ously wounded Helga Carlson
and her 4-year old brother, Os-
car.
1t seems Eagen has been pay
ing Miss Carlson attention since
last winter but has lately been
discouraged and after brooding
over his trouble for a couple
weeks went out yesterday deter
mined to secure the girls con-
sent or perhaps kill her and also
himself. He was quite drunk
when he left town and on reach
ing the farm found the girl in
the parlor with her little brother,
who was asleep on the lounge.
Just what occurred there prior
to the shooting is not known but
the loud talk attracted the at
tention of Mrs. Carlson outside
and as she started to enter the
house the shots were fired. The
first shot struck Miss Carlson ir
the back of the head near the
left ear and she fell to the floor
The noise awoke the little fellow
who slipped from the lounge anc
clasped his stricken sister arounC
the neck. Eagen then fired the
second shot which passed
through the .child's abdomen anc
through the girls hand anc
wrist. Eagen then turned the
weapon upon himself and in
ficted a slight wound over his
eye. Mrs. Carlson at this time
rushed INTO the room and Eager
turned the gun against her, but
made strong by desperation she
wrested the weapon from his
hand and drove him from the
house. The murderer mounted
his horse and came back t.
town and told Of his act, where
upon he was at once arrested
and confined in the city Jail.
Two railrord laborers at the
Shindahl camp near the Carlson
home heard the shooting and af
ter investigating came rapidly tC
town and sent DR.. Turner out t(
care for the victims. The physl
clan did all in his power to allay
their suffering and save theil

Water System
,..,uors Have Decided To Form a
Stock Company and Put In a
pumping PIant-----Town May
Bond To Help Out.

After much talk and inactivity
tbp citizens have at last come to
Tho conclusion that Cottonwood
needs water system and are
taking steps to secure one.
Realizing that the town cannot
nut in a system of its own, they
are now at work forming a stock
company to put in the system,
and if the business men and
property owners will rise to the
occasion as they should, in a few
short months the system will be
in operation. Several meetings
have already been held to discuss
ways and means of securing the
much needed protection against
fire and it has finally been de-
cided to form a stock company
and put in a pump system ade-
uuate to fill all our requirements
for several years to come. 1t is
estimated that the system will
cost between SIS, 900 and $16,0 900
and stock is being solicited on
the understanding that if the
people will put up $4,000 the
city will then bond for about
5000 or Sc, 900 to aid the project
along. Several of the village
trustees have signifed their
willingness to call an election
to vote the bonds in case the
other money is raised, and, while
the paper has not been circulated
at all as yet, we understand
several thousand dollars worth
Of stock has already been sub
scnbed by progressive business
men who appreciate the value of
the stock and the need of pro-
lection against fire. The need of
the system alone should be suf1-
clent to justify most of our busi-
ness men to take stock in it but
the fact that the minute the
SyStem is installed the increase
n the value of their property
Vlll more than make up for the
money invested is a second
trong reason why they should
lot hold back. The stock itself
you'd be worth practically 81. 33

'ater the town will no doubt
ready to take up whatever
I0ck is on the market, so no
an need feel that the money in
Psted in the proposition is a
Dnation.

on call on you to help the
position along so do not hold
ok but contribute to the best
your ability, and by so doing
OIect your property, increase

greater in mixing colors than in ca

was something to gnash ones teeth at

tough, the potatoes were underdone,

a small, fioored room. Overhead the
tumult and thunder of an organ ex-
planned the tremor and roar | had
heard below. was IN the crypt of St.
Agatha's chapel. The inside of the
door by which | HAD entered was a
part of the wainscoting of the room,
and the opening was wholly covered
with map of the Holy Land.
1t was all very strange and interest
ing. looked at my watch and found
that it was five o'clock, but l resolved
to go into the chapel before gong
home.
The way up was clear enough, and
was soon in the vestibule. l opened
the door, expecting to find a service
in progress; but the little chuxh was
empty save where, at the right of the
chancel, an organist was filling the
church with the notes of an eXultant
march. Cap in hand l stole forward,
and sank down in one of the pews.
A lamp over the organ keyboard
gave the only light in the chapel, and
made an aureole about her head

brought to the music, the happiness in
her face as she raised 1t in the minor

the little isle of light against the dark
background of the choir,-these things

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.
