WAS SHOT BY
EXCITED HUNTER
SUCH is OFFICERS OPINION
OF SHOOTING OF sHEEPHERDER
Hunter Probably Mistook Him for
Coyote and Discovering His Mistake
Fled Terror Stricken-Man Had no
Enemies and sheep Were on Deed
ed Land-He Will Recover.

That Alfonso Mayons, the Belgian
sheepherder who was shot at Meach-
am yesterday afternoon was the VIC
tim of some excited hunter, is the op-
inion of Deputy Sheriff Bert Wilson
as well as Bert Smith, the man for
whom Mayons was working, and also
of the man himself. The deputy
sheriff returned this morning from
the scene of the accident and he Is
convinced that the herder was mis-
taken for a coyote or some other AMI
NAL and that when the hunter dis
covered what an awful mistake he had
made he was seized with terror ana
made his way from the scene as rap
idly as possible.
The wounded man, while in a criti-
cal condition, is said to be resting easy
today and stands good chance of re-
covering. The bullet struck him near
the middle of the back and was de-
flected TO the left, tearing off a corner
OF the lung and shattering the should
der blade as completely as If 1t had
been placed on a block and pounded
with a meat ak. The point of the
shoulder was also torn off.
The herder says he was STOPPING
over while at work in building a cor
raj, when he was shot. He Immediate
" let out yell and heard the man who
had shot him, exclaim "Oh. my God!'
and then heard him running off
through the brush. Mayons lay where
he fell until he recovered from the
shock and then making his way to
a spring near by, took a drink and
started to walk to Meacham. He had
covered about a mile of the distance
when he was met by the camp tender.
He was then taken to the hotel in
Meacham where he was cared FOR

Lewiston, Ida, Aug. 31.-Officials
of the local federal land office today
decided to suspend the selection by
the state of 10000 acres of the ma
tional forest reserve in Nez Perce and
Shoshone counties, owing to the op-
position of the forestry bureau. The
state has made fighting case and it
will probably be appealed to the de-
partment Of the interior as result
of the renewal of friction. The land

until this morning, when he was
brought to the hospital here.
The investigation of Deputy Sheriff
Wilson disclosed the fact that the bull
let had been fired from a distance Of
about 25 yards, the hunter having
come over a little hill and discovered
the herder in a stopping position. Two
little saplings had been severed by the
bullet before it struck the herder and
judging from the size of the bullet
Wilson thought the ball was from 80
calibre gun.
That there could have been no ami
mus in the shooting is evident from
the fact that the herder had no enc
mics and that his sheep were on deed
ed land.
