papers from HIS pocket, and he
and the woman commenced talk
ing People who passed the spot at
the time did not notice that they
we're quarrelIng.
The man suddenly tore the paper
up and the next moment drew ne
revolver and shot At bis wife. Tho
daughter was seated between the
man and woman. and. after firing
the second shot AZ his wife. the
man grabbed up his girl and held
her III arms length while he ended
her life.
Many Witness Shooting.
Although several people were
standing within SO yards Of the spot,
the shooting was over and the
tragedy completed before any Of
the spectators had an opportunity
10 interfere.
Trouble had been brewing be-
tween the couple for a year past.
On March 9 last during a quarrel,
Potharst threatened to kill his wife.
and he did strike her with bis fist
AZ the time. Il was later that they
separated. and II was the serving
OF the summons and complaint IN
divorce proceedings which aroused
Pvtharst to his murderous rage to
day.
Married -Four Years.
The Potharsts were married jan
uary Fl. 1905. according 10 the d.
yorce papers, which we're drawn up
by Blake 4 Williams. attorneys.
This morning Charles Moorehouse,
a constable. served the papers on
the husband. who was drunk at tho
time. The divorce complaint
charges drunkenness and cruelty,
and cites instances Of where the
husband beat his wife. The wife
asked for $50 month alImony and
the custody Of the two children.
Both Had Money.
Mrs Potharst carried a hand
satchel in which was 81 In cash,
a few papers and several cards. In
Potharst's pockets the deputy cor
oner found about sic In cash. sew.
eral papers and some receipts. He
had recently sold some horses aud
had deposit slip showing a de-
post OF 5000 in the Union Savings
& Trust company. The woman's
bank book showed recent cash de-
posits Of 5000.
Until the time they separated the
couple we're living at 1851 Fifth
av. They moved 10 this address
from 1905 Sixth av., where they sold
out their lease TO another woman.
II Is believed the trouble between
the husband and wife which actual
ly caused the divorce proceedings
occurred while they were living on
Fifth av.
Mrs. Potharst was possessed OF
considerable money. having re-
ceiyed an inheritance through the
death of a relative. and the hus-
bands frequent demands for money
caused several bitter quarrels.
Potharst was engaged IN the grain
and transfer business for some time
In this city.

RELIEF FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
Where The United States IL Behind
European Countries.

The plan for establishing a state
labor colony incidentally calls atten.
tion to the backwardness Of the new
world tn two important matters. the
relief Of honest men out Of employ
ment and the suppression OF vagrants.
Save for the work done chiefly by pri-
yate organizations, In a few large
cities, there would be absolutely moth
ing In the United States which d
Swiss, German or Dutch charity work
er might compare to the labor colonies
Of his native land Even q French
men. whose country is oyerrun by
Yagabonds, can point with pride TO
relief measures which have already
done much to reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness Of from 6.5 per cent. to seven
per cent of all workingmen. The
idea Of allotting small gardens to men
out Of work was conceived and put
into practice by Gen van den Bosch in
Holland as far back as 1878: today
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported IN the little kingdom. The
environs of Paris are dotted with some
1000 plots assigned by the Workmen's
Garden Society to the unemployed

VICTOR w. ROTH, the independent
candidate for commissioner in the
first district, was buried under the
Republican land slide last Tuesday.
He will receive about 800 votes in
the county, and will fail in his pur-
pose to defeat Tom Bell, the regular
nominee for commissioner, who will
have over 500 to the good. Neither
Mr.. Luce nor Mr.. Roth have sue
ceeded in doing any damage to
anyone except themselves. They
listened to had advice.

B. MARTIN PETERSON has been
elected county commissioner by a
handsome majority. His vote here
at Boomers Ferry was cut down
quite little, but it must be remem-
bered that his opponent, James
Fitzpatrick, was the strongest
Democrat in the district. In fact
Mr.. Peterson was the only Republi
can we had who had the nerve to
go up against Jim.

JOHN P. DUNN, the Democratic
nominee for Sheriff, lost Boomers
Ferry, his home precinst, by 10
votes, an unlucky number. But
he has reason to feel proud of his
vote at home, as it was personal
tribute, and not due to personal
animosity against his opponent
Mr.. Merritt has carried the county
by about 700.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Sheep and Wolf Is "a Lively Game Fo,
Our oflDoors,


Tear a piece Of paper into as
many pieces as there are players,
and on each piece write some num-
Der representing an hour of the day.
As there are only twelve hours there
can be only twelve numbers, but if
more than twelve are playing you
can make some of the numbers half
hours until there is the required
amount.
On one piece mark a cross and
then shake all the numbers in hat,
each player drawing one out. The
one who gets the slip with the cross
on it is Sit" or the "wolf," while
the others players are called sheep.
A ring is then formed by the
sheep, the wolf standing in the mid
die. The sheep then call out,
.'What time will you dine tonight,
old wolff" and Mr.. Wolf calls out
any hour he happens to think of.
The sheep then who holds the slip
corresponding to the number called
by the wolf starts to run. If he
can get around the ring three times
before being caught by the wolf
he is safe; if not, he must be wolf.
The game keeps up until all have
had their turn at being wolf, and
this does not take long, for the wolf
is not supposed to call the same
number twice.

New Breed of Pheasants.

Karl Hagenbeck, the animal king,
says that he has prQ<aced a new
breed of pheasants. BY cross breed
ing between the European and Ash
attic pheasants and a careful process
of selection he has produced a stock
that weighs three to four pounds
heavier than the present European
bird. More than 800 birds of the
new breed have already been sent
to Walter Rothschild at Tring, and
more are to follow. Hagenbeck de-
clares that in a few years the game
of Europe will be entirely changed
if his ideas are carried out.
