THREE BOYS KILLED
California Youngsters Were Playing
Miner with Dynamite Caps.

San Jose, CHI, Oct, 23.-Three
boys, whose ages ranged from eight
to ten years, were blown into atoms
Thursday night by an explosion of
500 giant powder caps. The boys,
whose fathers work for a mining
company here, were playing miner
and had crawled through a crack in
the masonry of the mine left by the
earthquake of 1906, taken the caps
outside and began to lamp one of
them into a hole with a boulder. The
resulting explosion was heard for
miles and the mine employees, fear
ing that the magazine might go next,
dared not approach for some time.

FIR lNK 3. HOWE Editor and Publish,
HUNTING SEASON CAUTIONS

Brother Hapgood, the "Inker' of
Peru submits the following list of
cautions for deer hunters and it will
do no harm for all of them to read
these cautions carefully and give
heed to the same:
There must be at least two notices
in conspicuous places for posted
lands There is ten dollars penalty,
and other damages, for tearing or
mutilating a notice, to go to the land
owner.
For hunting on posted lands, with
or without killing game, ten dollars
penalty, and other damages, to go to
the owner of the land Where no
tees have been maliciOusly torn
down there is no right of hunting to
those who have knowledge of the
fact
Hunting for or killing a deer upon
any premises, posted or unposted be-
fore sunrise and after shutdown, in
ours a penalty of one hundred dollars.
Under these conditions, if hunter
thinks to play smart" by tearing
down sign and then hunting on the
premises he is liable to twenty dol
lars fine and all other damages for
malicious tresspass, together with the
costs in full, to go to the owner. In
case he should under these circum-
stances kill, or even hunt for deer
before sunrise or after sunset he is
liable to a penalty of one hundred
and twenty dollars and costs. And
there is no option with court or jury,
the full fine must be imposed. as even
hunting for deer before sunrise or af-
ter sunset imposes a penalty of one
hundred dollars. Supposing this
/ should happen to take place upon
Sunday, he is liable to fine of two
hundred and twenty dollars, as even
hunting Sunday, whether he dischar-
ges a gun or not, is liable to a fine Of
one hundred dollars; and anyone
hunting for or killing, a deer upon
Sunday is liable to a fine of two hun
dred dollars, even when upon unpost-
ed land
All fawns, whether spotted or not
are protected. and the fixed penalty
for even shooting one, even by mis-
take, is one hundred dollars. Any
deer less than a year old is a fawn.
Legal sunrise is as late as $50 and
legal sunset as early as 5-tlue time,
not the time that hunters say make
with their watches.
Many keep their time ahead, the
year around that will not work in
deer hunting.
The killing or wounding of a person
by mistake for a deer is punishable
offense; and the killing or wounding
of a person two miles off by a spent
bullet is, also, a punishable offense.
The terrific power of the modern RI
file is well known. and its use is dan
gerous to both the party using and
the community around. Amy upward
elevation. in an inhabited region is
utterly unsafe.
Not being obliged to see whether IA
deer has horns will cause many long
distance and careless shots. Mel,
and cattle will be far more likely to
be mistaken for deer thereby and
many deer will be wounded that are
not captured. Knowing these facts
hunters are liable.
Hunters are liable for damages
from unextinguished fires and care
lessly thrown matches.

that Slemp. the "a of the Republi-

upon Green's appointment, so his april

In San Antonio, J.. II. Kirkpatrick has
been posting himself on the rules Of ele-
gance on such occasions. He has
reached the conclusion that each mem
Der of the committee should be per-
mitted to welcome the President in
whatever kim OF attire he may choose
to wear. He thinks Mr.. Taft would be
better pleased and be made to feel more
at home II the least possible fOTmalities
were shown m the greetings.
Judge Charles w. Ogden. who is the
head Of the San Antonio reception com
mittee, is also OF this opinion. When
the President gets down IN the cattle
country below San Antonio the local re-
ceptiou committees viii make up In
heartiness of their welcome what they
may lack In stylishness Of clothes. The
dress question is not worrying them any
down there.
1t is in the would-be social centers
of Oklahoma where the local commit
tees are supposed to set the standard
in etiquette that the greatest excitement
exists over the dress problem. In some
of the Oklahoma towns special com
'mittees have been appointed to investi-
gate presidents and make full reports
as 81 just what is the proper attire for
them when Mr.. Taft makes his visit.

There is a wide difference OF opinion on
the subject. over in FL Paso some Of

others want the committee to adopt the
