Bag a Racc0on.

Dave Hatch and son Frank, while
out Tuesday morning. came upon a
big fat raccoon in Will Elhert's corn
field and proceeded at once to add the
little beast to their collection of game.
The coon is alternating animal,
like the bear and grounding, and
should at this season of the year be
sound asleep in den or burrow. but
this specimen was probably belated
by the fine weather. for when found
there were no tracks to show that he
had stirred out of his hiding place in
the cornfield since Sundays snow
storm, and had likely been out after
his daily rations of Mr.. Elhert's corn
when overtaken by winter.-Sumner

Shoots Himself.

Wednesday, shortly after the noon
hour word was passed from one to
another that our respected townsman,
+. &. Spahr, had taken his own life,
using revolver and sending bullet
crashing through his right temple.
Mr.. Spahr WAS alone in his bed room
at the time the deed was committed.
The room was narrow one and a
bureau stood near the bed. To swing
himself from the bed and secure the
revolver that was in the bureau
drawer must have required consider
able effort ON his part, but this he
did, and after he secured the weapon
he must have placed the muzzle
against his temple and held it with
his left hand, as the fingers were
powder burned, and pulled the trigger
with his right hand, thus sending the
leaden messenger on its mission OF
death. Mrs. +. G.. Spahr and daugh-
ter. Mrs. Ed. Hanson and her hus-
band, were seated at the table eating
dinner when they heard the shot. I'M
mediately Mr.. Hanson rushed To the
bed room of Mr.. Spahr where he
found him lying on the floor, still
breathing but unconscious. The
dying man was tenderly laid upon the
bed and Dr. Fothergill summoned
Mr.. ,Spahr lived for about an hour
and a half after committing the deed
but did not regain CONSCIOUSNESS. :

of farms that are for rent in the

connection with the Alaska Yukon
