boy ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Accidentally Shot by Companion Near Pc
Shastin Last Sunday

The following account of the acct
dental shooting Of Glenn Trimble, neal
Peshastin last Sunday morning is taken
from the Wenatchee World. Young
Trimble was well known to many Of the
Leavenworth boys who attended school
in Wenatchee. J. F. Hobson, his
uncle and aunt, formerly lived here.
Dr.. Hoxsey, from this place was first
called to attend the boy:
Glenn Trimble, the 10 year old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Trimble Of
North Wenatchee avenue, was killed
yesterday forenoon by the accidental
discharge Of 22-calibre rife in the
hands Of George Collier, son of Mr..
and Mrs. B. c. Collier. Saturday
morning the boys, Glenn Trimble,
George Collier and Donald Greenman,
all three members of the sophomore
class Of the Wenatchee high school,
drove to a camp near the Hendricks
sawmill, a few miles above Peshastin.
The purpose in making the drive was
to secure specimens for the botany
class of which they were members.
They took along with them a camping
outfit and a gun, and planned on a
pleasant two days recreation. About
10 o'clock yesterday they found chip
munk skipping along and the three
boys tried to drive it into a pond, but
failing in this, young Trimble told
George Collier to shoot it. The latter
picked up a gun, which was ID ham
merless with safety lock on top. Young
Collier thought the safety was set and
in swinging the gun into position to
shoot it went off. The bullet, a %
long, struck Glenn in the left side.
Had the calibre been heavier the bullet
would have gone through him, but as
it was it struck rib and was detected
back, leaving large holes in the walls
Of the stomach. Word was Immediately
sent to this city by Del Mccoy, store
keeper at Peshastin, of the accident,
but the information was very vague.
It was not known here which boy was
killed, the Collier or the Trimble boy.
Word was received here about II
o'clock and the Fuller automobile was
used to convey Doctors Mccoy and
Haskell and Messrs. Trimble and Col
lier to the scene OF the accident. The
machine was driven by William Johnson
and the % miles was made in one hour
and IS minutes. The doctors did
everything possible for the injured boy,
but it was soon seen that the accident
would prove fatal.
He was conscious a portion of the
time and talked with his father. He
attached no blame to his unfortunate
companion who did the shooting. The
injured boy was brought to this city on
No. and taken to the Gilchrist hos
pital, where he died about O'Clock.
The deceased lad was 16 years old
last February. He was bright student
and had the love and respect of his
classmates. Young Collier is grief
stricken over the accident.
Glenn K. Trimble was born in Ne
braska and came here couple Of years
ago with his parents. Besides father
and mother, he leaves to mourn his loss
a sister, Miss Esther E. Trimble. Mr..
and Mrs. ]. F. Hobson, who live near
Peshastin, are also uncle and aunt Of
the dead boy. 1t was at Mr.. Hobson's
place that the boys we're camping
when the accident occurred.

]. {. PRAUL FOUND GUILTY
Manager for Chewawa Lead & Silver Min
ing and Smelling Co.

The case OF the State VS.. J. E.
Praul, manager for the Chewawa Lead
& Silver Mining and Smelling Co.,
tried on appeal from the Justices
court at this place in the Superior
court in Wenatchee last week caused
a number of people from this place
to go to Wenatchee last week ard at
tracted great deal Of attention. Major
J. S. Chase, of Seattle, president of
the Chewawa Lead and Silver Mining
and Smelling Co., and large stock
holder in the Chelan Consolidated
Copper Mining Co., both of which
companies own a number Of mineral
claims in the same vicinity stopped
off here last Saturday on his way home
from Wenatchee, where he attended
the trial, made the following state
ment to reporter for The Echo:
Both the Chelan Consolidated Co.,
and the Chewawa Lead and Silver
Mining and Smelling Co., in which
companies I am interested, are en-
gagged in developing mineral bodies
and endeavoring to prove to the world
that mineral exists in Chelan county in
paying quantities. In the last twenty
years millions OF dollars have been
spent in the state of Washington in an
effort to find mineral in paying guam
titles, with the result that today there
is not a paying mine in the state. A
few years ago several associates and
myself became interested in the Red
Mountain mining district and have
since spent over 100000 in build
ing roads to a district where was form
erly only a trail, and in mining
machinery and development work.
The Chelan Consolidated Co., and
the Chewawa Co., of which l am
president, were prepared to go on
with a work which if it proved success
full, would mean much to the mining
interests, not only OF Chelan county
but the entire state, but the effort of
Leavenworth parties to hold up the
Chewawa Co. has put stop to all
mining development in the Red
mountain district.
To put the matter in form so that
the readers Of The Echo will under
stand the matter I will state briefly,
that the Chewawa Lead and Silver
Mining and Smelling Co., by location
and purchase secured a number of
mineral claims in the Red Mountain
district. Last year the company sent
men an machinery up to the prop
erty and began driving a tunnel on the
ore body Of one Of its claims for the
purpose of discovering whether at
great depth the ore contained gold,
silver or copper in quantities that
would pay profit on mining it. The
tunnel has been driven 425 feet at
considerable cost TO the company. A
short time ago samples were taken to
an assayer for the purpose Of securing
a test, with the result that several of
the samples did not show any value at
all, one or two showed trace of gold
and one carried gold value of slightly
over two dollars TO the ton. This was
not encouraging, but the company in

but it does not cast the sable folds
of gloom over the average business
man half as quickly, nor half as COM
pletely, as when the grimy-fisted con
ductor on the street car bawls out;
in his terse and grammatical way,
"The fuse blowed out; take the car
anead!"
The business man seldom knows
just what has happened but he does
know that he must hustle into anoth-
ei car or be late to business. .
A fuse is a small piece Of metal al
10y wire having low melting point
and its purpose is to auto
matically open the large electric
circuit under abnormal conditions.
The alloy may be in form Of bare
strip of wire or it may be encased in
a fireproof tube. When the current
is excessive, or not ampereage high,
this wire is the first thing to melt,
cutting out the current which would
otherwise damage the motors. On
street cars this wire usually melts
with an explosion and puff Of smoke
harmless in itself but sufficient to
startle nervous passengers.
But instead Of being indicative Of
danger the fuse is devised to prevent
accidents. Electric machinery differs
from all other machinery in that it
will work itself to death, so to speak.
Overloaded engines will stop; but an
overloaded motor will work right on
until II burns up. To protect It fuses
