Another Fatal Shooting Acct
dent Due to the Careless
Handling of a Shotgun

AohuiAhS VI Il SHOtSun
Oliver Fillmore, a 14-year-old boy
who has been. residing with the Davis
family near Luffman for some time,
was killed by the accidental discharge
of a>shotgun last Satu rday while out
hunting with two companions.
The three boys were in a platform
buggy, Fillmore occupying the rear
seat, and the boys in the front seat had
the loaded guns resting on the seat
between them. AS they were driving
past the Mike Jannish place dog ran
out and commenced barking at the
team and he reached over and grabbed
one of the guns, intending to shoot and
drive the dog back. He sliced the gun
by the muzzle and started to draw it
towards him. The hammer caught in
the seat cushion and the lgun was dis
charged, the charge striking him in
in the right side below the lower rib
and penetrating diagonally upwards,
killing him instantly.
The boys parents reside at Britton
and his brother, BILLY" Fillmore,
resided in this city until recently, hav-
ing been in the employ of F. H. Rus
sell. The funeral was held at Luffman
Monday afternoon.

NUMBER 10
FIRE SALE OF HARDWARE
T.. N. DOrr * Co. Closing out
Their Stock of Hardware at
Less Than Cost Prices

+. N. Dorr & Co., whose hardware
stock was damaged by the fire on the
night of October lst, have commenced
a closing out fire sale of their entire
stock of hardware, harness, store fix
lures, ETC., and the prices at which
they are offering the goods makes
their store the Mecca for all purchasers
of hardware. About $4,000 worth of
goods are included in the stock, and
they must be sold by November LIST in
order to give the workmen an oppor-
tunity to get into the building and make
the necessary repairs.
The fire burned about fifty or sixty
feet of the rear part of the building,
and the greater portion of the stock in
the front part of the building was not
damaged to any extent smoke and
water having very little effect upon
tinware, graniteware, cutlery, stoves,
barbed wire, etc. But these goods
could not be included in a new stock,
and Dorr & Co. have decided to close
them out at sacrifice. and have put
prices down to point where the goods
will go quick.
This is the greatest opportunity ever
presented to the people of Day county
and they will not fail to take advantage
of it, Any person knows that smoke
and water will not injure the general
serviceability of hardware, and that is
all the damage the greater part of the
stock received. No matter what you
want in the line of hardware, you can
get it at this big fire sale. Tinware,
graniteware, nails, bolts, fencing, cut
lery, paints, tools, builders hardware,
staples, stoves, hay carriers, harness
fixtures, pitchforks, shovels, rakes,
machine oil, engine fixtures everything
going at prices ranging from 10 to rs
percent below cost. There is large
assortment to select from, but the
early buyers will get the best bar
gains.
Dorr & Co. will also dispose of their
store fixtures, and anyone needing fix
lures can get them at bargain. The
fixtures were not damaged by the fire
being merely smoke blackened-and
with a little work can be made to
appear as good as new.
This big fire sale will continue to
November 1st., but purchasers should
come early to get the best bargains.
The goods are going fast.

FRANTIC WOMAN'S DEED
Chicago Wife Shoots Her Husband and
Little Daughter.

At Chicago Mrs. Emma Mulsaw
shot her husband twice through
the abdomen as he reached the door
of his home, 1904 North Kedzie ave-
nue., went to the bedroom where her
three-year-old daughter Annabella had
been asleep and shot her through the
back. She then completed the triple
tragedy by swallowing carbolic acid,
which she had prepared for the pur-
pose, and died a short time later.
The two victims of her bullets are
in a dying condition at st. Elizabeth's
hospital The woman, armed with a
revolver, had waited almost all night
to carry out her plan to exterminate
the entire family.
Mrs. Mulsaw was twenty-four years
old 1t is believed by the police that
her mind became unbalanced by jeal
ousy over the attentions other women
paid her husband. She left two notes,
in one of which she requested to be
buried in the same grave with her lit
tie daughter

WOMAN AVIATOR FALLS
Baroness DeIaroche Becomes
Confusedi in AeropIane.

Baroness Delarochc, the first French
woman aeroplanist, was fatally injured
at Rheims, France, by falling from
distance of fifty meters.
The baroness had flown around the
field once at a height of eighty meters
when suddenly, in front of the applaud
ing tribunes, she appeared to become
frightened and confused at the ap-
proach of two other aeroplanes.
She started to descend, but while
still far from the ground lost control
of the machine. The aeroplane turned
over and fell like log.
The baroness legs and arms were
broken. Her mangled body was taken
from the wreckage and conveyed to
hospital, where she is dying At the
hospital it was found that her skull
was fractured.
While momentarily conscious the
baroness explained that the rush of
air from a motor passing over her
head had heightened her, whereupon
she cut the ignition and lost control
of her machine

~ HORSES DIE IN FIRE
Big Plow Plant at South Bend, Ind,
Suffers Severe Loss.

At South Bend Ind, the barns
and lumber yard of the Oliver Chilled
Plow Works were destroyed by fire
and twenty-five horses were cremated
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to 100000. Insurance of about $780,
900 was carried. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but it is supposed to
have been started by a tramp, who
with a pipe in his mouth, was seen
earlier in the night, to climb the high
fence surrounding the yards. He prob
ably sought sleep in the barns, which
stood in the center of the yards, and
set the building on fire with spark
from his pipe.
One man, Fred Wagner, was injured
by a falling beam while fighting the
flames Scores of families occupying
the houses surrounding the lumber
yards, moved theil furniture into the
street, fearing homes would burn.

MRS. GOULD IS BRIDE
OF RALPH H. THOMAS
Wedding Is Celebrated Quietly
In New York City.

Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould and Ralph
Hill Thomas were married quietly in
the apartments of Mrs. Goui5 at $40
Park avenue, in New York. Only in.
innate friends were present at the
ceremony, which was performed by
the Rev. DR.. Webster of the Brick
Presbyterian church. The bride was
given away by her mother, Mrs. Eu-
gene Kelly, and Joseph Thomas,
brother of the bridegroom, acted as
best man.
The little girls, who have been stay
ing at the country place of their aunt,
Miss Helen Gould, at Irvington-on-
Hudson since the first of May, came
down to be present at their mothers
marriage, and to say gooc-Dye to her
before she started on her honeymoon
trip. When the children left the house
they were in charge of Albert Wisner
and a governess. Several of the de-
tectives followed in a touring car. One
of the detectives displayed paper to
the guardians OF the little girls, and
after a short conversation the latter
were transferred to the touring car
and taken to the Fifth avenue resi-
dence of Miss Helen Gould. There
they were met by cousin of Miss
Gould. who took them to IrvingtOn.
Frank Gould, who is now in Europe,
arranged that his sister should take
charge of, his daughters when the
time came for their visit to him. 1t
is probable that Miss Helen Gould
will formally adopt her little nieces
and that they will be heiresses to her
estate as well as to that Of their
mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas left the apart
ment at Park avenue and drove
rapidly away in Mr.. Thomas touring
car They hurried through the cor
ridor and carefully avoided speaking
to any of the persons who were wait
ing to interview them. They sailed
on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse this
morning for tour of the Continent.
Mr. Thomas gave his bride five
acres of land adjoining her Sands
Point estate for a wedding present,
and upon their return from Europe
they will build house not far from
the site of the bungalow
