SHOT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING
Seeing His Old Enemy Was Done For,
Former Coney Island Hotel Keeper
Fires Two Bullets Into His
Own Brain.

Middletown, N. Y.-James McSor-
ley, g former Cooney Island hotel
keeper, who completed a prison sen
tence only a few days ago, came here
to square matters with Daniel E. Fen
ton, proprietor of the Hotel Elberton,
the man he believed responsible for
his conviction. Both McSorley and
FentSE are dead.
McSorley met Fenton on a crowded
street corner. Without even with
drawing his pistol hand from the coat
pocket in which he clutched the
weapon, he fired three shots, each of
which took effect. Then seeing that
his old enemy was done for, he re-
moved the pistol from his pocket and
fired two bullets into his brain.
Knew Why He Was Shot.
Fenton was still conscious when by
ISLANDERS "a up, and he was rushed
to the hospital, where he died a few
hours later. McSorley died in the
street. On his way to the hospital,
Fenton gasped to the surgeon who
knelt beside him in the ambulance:
Then he lost consciousness. Ac-
cording to the police here, McSorley
was released from prison last week,
and started at once to hunt up Fen
ton, who had been a rival hotel
keeper at Coney Island before McSor-
ley's conviction, and who, he believed,
was responsible for the years he was
compelled to serve. He arrived in
Middletown in the afternoon, met Fen
ton on the street, and when Fenton
attempted to flee, McSorley, firing
from his pocket, MORALLY wounded
him before he could turn.

BALTIMORE MAYOR
FINDS BIG CRAFT
CALLS ON THE ADVIS-
DRY COMMITTEE TO AID IN THE
CITY'S REFORMATION.

BALTIMORE, (Md0, May 2O.-In
consequence of disclosures involving
officials of various departments of the
city government Mayor Mahool to-
day announced the employment of ex-
pert accountants, who will make a
thorough ivestigation of all the city
books.
In statement given out today the
Mayor says The municipal corpora
ton has ben robbed by dishonest en-
ployes The city, however, will lose
nothing. The bonding companies will
make good the loss occasioned by these
robberies. The chief demand by the
public is for quick exposure where dis
honesty is discovered, followed by stern
and relentless prosecutions.
Where favoritism or political pull
is permitted to interfere with the
righteous enforcement of legal punish
ment, the public has just cause for in
dignation. But when all culprits, large
and small, will be rooted out merciless-
ly and turned over to punishment the
public should feel satisfied and conf
dent. Simply because a few have been
found dishonest is no reason for the
public to be generally suspicious or UNI
easy about the entire municipal force.
The public can rest assured that before
l have finished 1 will discover every
piece of rotten timber that is in the
municipal government and cut it out"
The Mayor has called upon the com
mittee of municipal research, composed
of leading business men, to aid in de-
vising system which will minimize
the opportunities of dishonest officials

JAIL QUESTION
WAS CONSIDERED
MAYOR FERN CHALLENGES MEM
BEERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPER
VISORS TO FIGHT.

After discussing the Jail proposition
in committee of the whole for more
than an hour, Mayor Fern by invitation
presiding, the Board of Supervisors
last night continued the subject for
more complete information. McClel-
Ian produced estimates to show that
the difference between running the Jail
as an annex of the penitentiary and as
a municipal institution which the Le-
gisIature had ordered it to be, could not
be so great as the figures previously
given to the board. Logan submitted
for consideration the feeding of the
prisoners by contract, which Cox ridi-
culed as the greatest nonsense he had
ever heard of, as the misdemeanants
might have knives smugg,ed in to them
with the grub.
After the routine business of the reg
ular meeting had been disposed of,
Logan moved for leave to withdraw his
ordinance creating a bureau of sup
plies, as he desired to submit an
amended draft. Quinn seconded the
motion.
Mayor Fern, ON a call for the ques-
ton, wanted to know what kind OF
business it was to take a matter out
of the hands of committee.
The mover stated that the proceeding
was perfectly regular, if the Board
chose to grant the requested permits
sion. Moreover, the committee on ex-
penditures had held up the bill for
nearly three months, never holding
meeting nor giving hearing to the
introducer. Appointments with him
had been made only to be broken, while
meantime outsiders had meddled with
the business and he objected to trihing
with matters duly brought before the
board.
The Mayor said there was nothing
before the Board, when Aylett correct
ed him by reminding him that the
board was waiting for His Honor to
put a motion. Being interrupted by
the Mayor he warmly protested.
Thereupon Mayor Fern shouted: "Tf
you fellows want a fight, bring it on.
l am ready for you After repeating
this sentiment with embellishments
scarcely parliamentary, he said he
would refuse to put the motion. 4
general laugh greeted this declaration
of war and after a pause the Mayor
asked Clerk Kalauokalani to state the
motion, which he then put to the meet
ing. The motion carried and after
ward the amended draft of ordinance
was carried with one dissenting vote
given by Mcclellan.
On the request of District Magistrate
Andrade, his appointment of A. E. Min
vielle as Cpanish and Porto Rican in
terpreter, with salary of SIS month,
was unanimously approved, a motion
to refer the matter to the Police COM
mittee having first been lost by vote
of three for and four against.
A report of the committee on public
expenditures was adopted, favoring the
purchase of railroad tickets for mem
bers living in the country This plan
| is substituted for the ten cents mileage
proposed by Kane.

GOTCH AGAIN
THE WINNER

There was but a small audience
at the wrestling match held at the
ball grounds Sunday afternoon, when
F. F. Willig of Libby was defeated
by Young Gotch of Whitefsh, in a
handicap.
Willig is a good man and knows
all the fine points in wrestling, but
was outclassed by Gotch who is a
heavier and a more experienced
man. According to agreements
Willig was to throw Gotch twice in
80 minutes, according to Police
Gazette rules, the double nelson
hold being barred.
Gotch played the agressor all the
way thru and won the first round
in three minutes, putting Willig
down with half nelson. After q
ten minute rest the second round
lasted 6 minutes and 80 seconds,
which Gotch got without great
deal of exertion though Willig broke
loose several times very cleverly
Sam Collins refereed the match.

DROWNEDIN

Son of Well-knOWn Flat.
head Rancher Gets
Beyond His Depth
in Water.

Another sad accident happened
Sunday afternoon when George
SPOTS, the sixteen year old son of
Charles Spots, a well-known ranch
der living south of town, was
drowned in the Whitefsh river.
The accident happened about 4
O'Clock. in the afternoon, when
George, accompanied by several of
his friends proposed going swimming
in the river near G. r. Smiths s
ranch, which is six miles south of
town.
At this place there is very deep
hole in the river with steep pitch
off, which was probably unknown
to the boy, as he was the first one
undressed and waded out into the
water without hesitation.
He got beyond his depth and
being unable to swim he sank from
sight before the eyes of his comrades
who did all all in their power to
rescue him by pushing a log out to
him. There was a boat near by
also, but before he could be reached
with it he had gone under and did
not rise again.
The alarm was Immediately
sounded throughout the neighbor-
hood, and searching parties dragged
the river bottom with graphing
hooks until eleven O'Clock that
night before the body was recover
ed, when Halle Swisher succeeded
in raising it.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. d. B. Mcknight
from the home Tuesday afternoon,
and interment was made at Kalis-
pell.
This is the second affliction that
has come to the Spots home in a
short time. A year ago last April
another boy of about the same age
died from injuries that were re-
ceived in an accident.

RUN OVER
BY CARS
Brakeman Charles Love Is
Another Victim of
a Railroad
Accident.

Brakeman Chas. Love well known
in railroad circles here, was run
over by the cars of his train last
Friday night at Paola, and received
injuries that made it necessary to
amputate one-h alf Of his foot.
He was working the front end of
II west-bound freight, engine 1881
in charge of Conductor Ramay,
which he was letting out of the
siding at Paola. After the engine
passed the switch he waited for a
few cars to pass before he made
any attempt to board the train. In
doing so the grab iron on one of the
cars pulled out and he fell back
ward, his foot slipped thru the step
and he was dragged by his leg for
some distance before he could free
himself, which caused severe injur-
les to his back. His right foot got
caught under the wheels and was
badly crushed.
No one saw the accident when it
happened, and if it had not been
for the rear brakemen getting off to
close the switch, whose attention
Love attracted, the train would
have passed without his being noti-
ced.
He was picked up by the train
crew, who did all they could under
the conditions to make him COM
Portable. The engine was out off
from the train, and with the ca
boose made all possible haste to
bring the injured man to Whitefish.
On reaching Belton the engine had
exhausted it's coal supply, and it
was necessary to get a work train
engine to come in with.
He was placed in the hospital
where the doctors amputated the
fore part of the foot across the in
step, leaving the heel. Having a
strong constitution he did not suffer
any from the shock Of the accident,
and is getting along nicely, except
for his back, which is giving him
considerable pain.

w. F. D0ONAN AS
HOTEL KEEPER

w. F. Doonan, formerly master
mechanic on this division, and as
sociated in the plumbing business
here last spring, went to Portland to
accept a position as engineer on the
S. F. and NJ, where he has been
running a locomotive all summer.
Still having some Flathead blood
in his veins he was not content
ed in the coast country, so has re-
turned to Troy where he has gone
into the hotel business.
Going into effect yesterday, Sep
tember l, he took charge of the
Windsor Hotel Of that city, and
last evening he gave a grand open
ing of the place, which consisted of
free ball, which took place in
Woodmen's Hall and then at IL
O'Clock he served sumptuous sup
per to all who attended. Every
one who was there reports having
had one of the finest times they
ever had in Troy.
Mr.. Doonan is well known all
along the line and is very popular
with the railroad boys, who will all
be pleased to learn that he has
taken over this business and he will
no doubt receive his share of theil
patronage.

SHOCKING
ACCIDENT
Vernon Larter Received
Injuries that Caused
His Death Shortly
Afterwards.

Last Friday afternoon. shortly be-
fore five O'Clock, the whole com
munity was startled to hear the
shocking news that Vernon Larter,
the only son of R. w. Larter, the
well-known locomotive engineer,
had been accidently killed.
Vernon was assisting his father
in making some repairs on motor
boat in Sprague and Tenner's boat
house, in the river at the head of
Central avenue. They had just
completed the repairs when Vernon
jumped into Sprague's boat that
was moored right alongside to test
the motor. 1t happened that the
crank for starting the engine was
hanging on the shaft, and as soon
as ne put the electric switch on, it
exploded a charge of gas in the
motor that had been standing 80
hours. This is something unusual
and was not expected, because there
are very few motors that will hold
their compression for that length of
time. AS soon as the explosion oc-
CURED it started the motor running
backwards at a thousand revolutions
per minute, and the great centrif-
ugal force threw the crank off,
striking Vernon on the left side of
the face and ovefthe eye. 1t then
bounded across and struck Mr..
Larter in the side with such force
as to fracture rib and daze him.
1t did not render Vernon uncon-
scious. He stopped the motor and
then helped pick his father up, and
extinguished a torch which was set
ting fire to the boat.
When his father recovered and
realized what had happened they
hurried to the office of DR.. Houston,
where the doctor proposed that they
go to the hospital where there were
better facilities. Vernon walked
all the way and was conscious all
the while and talked of the acci-
dent saying, that he wanted it to be
kept from his mother until the doc
tor had fixed him up.
When they arrived at the hos
pital he got upon the operating table
himself and assisted in getting
ready to administer the anaesthetic,
but before the chloroform could be
given to him he expired.
Upon examination it was found
that the blow had fractured the
base OF the skull, causing internal
bleeding to the brain, which was
the cause Of his death.
Vernon was born in Kalispell in
January 1896, and was 13 years, 7
months and 26 days old at the
time of his death. His home was
there until the family came to
Whitefish when the railroad div
ision was moved here. He was a
bright, manly boy, the pride of his
parents and beloved by all his as
sociates.
Tuneral services were conducted
by Rev. G. N. Platt at the home
Sunday afternoon, and a special
train furnished by Superintendent
W. r. Smith carried the mourners
to Kalispell, where services were
held in the Presbyterian church by
Rev. Fisher. The church was filled
with Whitefsh and Kalispel]
friends, and there was a great pro-
fusion of floral gifts.
lnterment was made in Conrad
Memorial cemetery. To the strick-
en- father and mother, the hearts ol
the people of Whitefish and Kalis.
