NOT A DIRECT SHOT
But a Bounding Bullet that Injured
Mrs Williams-Is Get
ting Along Nicely.

The Sentinel secured for the first
time today some important details
not announced until this time putting
a somewhat different light on the un-
fortunate accident in which Mrs. G..
l. ID. williams was so seriously in
iured yesterday afternoon. While
the Sentinel man talked with mem
bers of the family at the home yes
terday shortly after the accident Mr..
Cheeley was not interviewed. Other
persons at the home, including Mr..
Williams, supposed the revolver was
pointing toward Mrs. Williams when
discharged.
Mr.. Cheeley states that the re-
volyer was pointing in a directly OPP
potsite direction. He states that he
thought he had removed all OF the
loads from the chambers and turning
the revolver from his aunt proceeded
to snap the trigger, suddenly the
chanrge he had overlooked was ex-
ploded and hes tates that the bull
let speeding with terrific force, struck
a small iron band on a trunk, re-
bounded and the glancing bullet
struck Mrs Williams, inflicting the
frightful injuries.
The piece of metal on the trunk
plainly shows where the bullet struck
it before rebounding and doing its
terrible work. 1t is believed that
had the bullet struck Mrs. Williams
on a direct shot it would have in
flicted absolutely fatal injuries.
Mrs. Williams is getting along
very nicely today. No complications
have set in and her condition is very
favorable. She is unable to talk
today.

death ended that epoch in western
history. They were the only two men
who ever completed the entire lenG-
tn of the treacherous Colorado car
on by boat or otherwise.
The men were lost on the trip
with the main expedition and ii is at
tributed to Indians by both Major
Powells report and by Dellenbaugh's
Romance of the Colorado river, is
sued at later date.
Within the past few years Captain
Sumner unearthed the true cause,
and discovered watch he had given
to one of the Howland brothers to
take inland. This missing link need
ed to complete the full account of the
two books mentioned appears in the
manuscript of his memoirs of the ex-
pedition, which are now being edited
by a son. Charles G. Sumner.
Following the expedition he made
a trip to Alaska and then returned
to Colorado. He became closely as
sociated with Jim Baker, Kit Carson,
Jim Bridger and other noted scouts
of the early days. and was a guide
for Bayard Taylor on that great
travellers first trip across the Rocky
Mountains.
The experiences of those days
would fill many books, Hunting. Ind
ian fighting, settling land. mining.
buffalo trading, all played their part.
He saw the close of the Meeker Mas
sacre, and campaigned in Texas and
Mexico. He spoke most of the known
Indian tongues and knew sign lang
uage as second nature.
Being of straight Massachu
Virginia stock that landed on Ameri-
can shores in 1909. combating and
conquering on the frontier was part
of his religion.
He spent some years in Wyoming
connected with various enterprises,
but the past thirty years of his life
were largely occupied with mining,
and he made several fortunes and
spent them in the ground again. In
more recent years he operated prop
critics in the LaSal Mountains, this
state. and Henry Mountains in Utah.
Captain Jack Sumner first came to
Grand Junction in 1854 and was sup
of the Hawarden placers
on the Dolores river for three years.
He likewise assisted in building the
Big ditch. His family came to the
city in 1856 and he purchased con-
real estate. having at one
time owned the block on Sixth and
Ute. and built several cottages aside
from the big house on the corner,

In showing the growth of the trust
since its organization in 1900 the con-
clusion is reached that at an early
date unless prevented it would com
pletely monopolize the entire tobac-
co industry.
The government asks that existing
combinations, conspiracies and mono
poles be enjoined and that each of
the defendant companies be restrain
ed from holding stock in any of the
others.
James c. McReynolds, the special
assistant attorney general, who filed
the complaint in the tobacco cases,
said that the immediate prosecution
of some of defendants named in the
case was highly probable and that
the Sherman law. under which the
action was brought, makes the con-
spiracy in restraint of trade a Grim

Burial will take place in Denver
on the ninth or tenth, and the re-
mains of the old pioneer will be laid
with those of his brothers in the fam
lily plot.
Captain Jack" Sumner. as he was
more familiarly known throughout
the west. was born in Newton, Ind
lana, 67 years ago. When but a boy
he became an Indian fighter in Iowa
and other western states and was a
veteran at the commencement of the
Rebellion. He enlisted with the 32nd
Iowa Infantry and served four years
during the trying times of the Civil
War. and was wounded.
Upon the cessation of hostiliies he
again started west, other members of
the family having preceded him, his
lbrothey-in-law, William N. Byers,
having founded Denver's first paper,
the Rocky Mountain News. The plant
was hauled across the plains in prair-
lie schooners.
Following many stirring scenes
in the new town on Cherry creek Cap
tain Jack went up to the Middle Park
country. where he spent three years
without seeing but few white faces
setting up lne HOT sulphur springs
location for his brother Edward C.
Sumner, who was postmaster of Den
yer for sixteen years. and for Mr..
Byers. The estate, or a large por-
tion of 1t is still retained by Mrs By
ers.
During those three years he en-
countered a few trappers, ran a trad
ing post with the Indians and had
many fights with them, on one occas-
ion being pursued for seventy miles,
and outwitting them after his horse
had fallen dead.
It was about this time that gov
