BOLD SHOOTING
NEAR PULASKI

Pulaski. Va Aug. 23.--In a rowiyes
terday afternoon about four o'clock, at
point on the Norfolk & Western, four
miles west of town, Homer Lester was
shot by Matt chatham.
1t seems that the youth, Homer Les.
ter, was sitting on pile of ties not
far from his home when he was APP
preached by Ed chatham, a son of
Matt
The chatham boy provoked q row
with the Lester boy and threw stones
at him and struck him with a stick.
The Lester boy started to run to his
home, whereupon Ed chatham called
Eto his father tc bring the gun.55 The
Elder Chairman came out of the
bushes right at the Lester boy, with a
pistol in his hand. He presented the
! pistol almost in homer Testers face
and fired; but Lester stepped back
and the ball missed him. In stepping
back Lester fell in a ditch, and while
he was down, Matt chatham fired a
second time, the ball striking Lester
in the right side. %"
Some people went to the dam above
town and phGned for officers. Town
Sergeant j. /. Carper and Jailer Rufus
Richardson al once responded, but
both of the Cbatmans had escaped.
The same officials went out again
taeout two o'clock this morning and

no trace OF the fugitives. 1t is thought

morning to see the wounded boy. He
was accompanied by DR.. J. w. Holmes.

THEM DIRT" IN THE MATTER
OF FASTING FARGO "sTIckERsD
OVER FORKS POSTERS"

Have you got your tongue into the
game yet?
r The Grand Forks Herald springs the
following:
According to some of the Grand
Forks knights of the grip, all Fargo
travelling men have tongues as big as
door mats and resembling In texture a
piece Of twenty old bull liver.
This conclusion is drawn from the
fact that some of the Fargo travellers
are trying to cover up all the Grand
Forks fair posters in sight with small
Fargo stickers announcing that there
viii be pumpkin in Cass county some
time during the summer
1T is estimated that in folIowinp the
Grand Forks fair advertising campaign
the Fargoites have licked stickers to
cover about five quarter sections of
good Red River valley land. To do this
1t is thought a door mat or liver
tongues would be the logical result.
Anyway, 1T is a fact that attempts are
being made to cover Grand Forks
fair posters with Fargo stickers. the
stickers being placed over the printed
portions of the posters showing the
name and date of the Grand Forks
Fair When the matter was called to
the attention of the Grand Forks fair
last night. one Of them
remarked that Grand Forks was still
1heaa OF the game, and that by the
lime all the Grand Forks paper was
covered there would not be a whole
tongue left in Fargo. .-

Of the principals of the combat. Smith,
the liveryman, was slightly cut about
the hands while Smith of Darlington
was rather severely cut about the
hands and on other parts of his body.
The latter was taken Immediately to
DR.. P. H. Burton, where his wounds
were dressed.
Both men are dealers in horses, and
it appears that the trouble arose over
the rental of pony by the local Smith
from the other. One declared that the
rental asked for had been paid while
the other asserted that it had not. A
scuffle ensued, and in some way a
knife was drawn by one of the two
and both carried away souvenirs OF
the occasion.
Smith of Darlington sought consul
at once and went to the offices of
Ball. Watson, Young & Lawrence.
who turned him over to the care of
DR.. Burton. He was particularly re-
ticient about the matter when seen
and practically declined to state any
thing whatever about the case. The
local liveryman had nothing to say
and it is not believed the affair will
be carried into court.

A Missing Bridegroom.

There is some worry today, over
the reported appearance of Chas.
Ehrline, who has been yard man at the
B. & r. lumber yard in this city, at
Wadena, Saturday night, at which
place it was announced that he was to
lead a Miss Ella j. Anderson to the
altar. The groom to be is said to have
left the city week ago last night for
the home of his bride and 1t was given
out that the young people were to live
in Lake Park. In the city today there
were all sorts of reports not at all
complimentary, but confirmatory to
some actions which some people
thought to be little queer, for a man
about to enter upon his nuptials. One
or two parties made the remark that
Ehrltne is not likely to be seen about
these diggings" again, and it was add
ed there was considerable Indignation
at the home of the prospective bride.
1t is limited that the missing groom
does not want to face interesting con-
ditions in Moorhead.

ILLUMINATE THE BRIDGES.
Agitation Begun to Secure . Better
Lighting of BRIDGES.

The attention of the light commit
tees of the city councils of Moorhead
and Fargo is to be called to the dark
ness which hangs about the two
bridges which span the Red river at
this crosslng-the gloominess which
has been more or less complained of
for year or more is now more pro-
nounced. after the installation of the
great white ways in both cities. The
police especially would welcome more
illumination as 1t would put stop to
a number of petty annoyances which
respectable pedestrians are occasional
ly subjected to, by beggars and others
One business man suggests the erec-
ton of ornamental posts at each end
of the structures which would add
greatly to the night appearance of two
much used thoroughfares. With the
completion of the new paving on the
east side of the north bridge the
amount of driving and autoing will be
greatly increased and a good flood of
light will be greatly appreciated by
the general public, and besides the
danger of collisions and mishaps on
the bridge would be greatly reduced.

Disorderlies Fined,

Answering a complaint made by peo-
pie in the vicinity, the police visited a
private house on the north side early
this morning. Three young men and
two young women, the latter from
Fargo, were placed under arrest and
charged with boisterous and unseemly
behavior and disturbing the peace. All
of the parties are known to the police
and have been mixed up in escapades
of one kind or the other before. Two
or three of the parties, indirectly, had
some connection with the case of the
girl falling over the rail of the north
bridge and losing her life several
months ago. Fictitious names were
given, but the right ones are all known
to Justice Wade before whom the de-
PENDANTS appeared THIS morning. The
fines imposed averaged $40 each and
all will be paid The court let 1t be
understood that such behavior as that
reported will not be tolerated in Moor
head, and IL there. is any more of it
there will be sitting up and taking
notice" by the parties implicated and
the fullest publicity given to the case.

FIVE CONVICTED MEN, ONE SEN.
FENCED TO BE HUNG AND
THE OTHERS FOR LIFE,
ENJOY THEM
SELVES.

Portland, Ore, July 11.-"Eat, drink
and be merry, for tomorrow" the aw-
tul significance of the final words of
the centuries old toast caused a ban
quetter at the Imperial hotel last even
ing to hesitate before he pronounced
them. You may die"
They were five prisoners, all con-
Victed for murder and on their way to
the Salem penitentiary, under heavy
guard, never to leave it in this life.
Tomorrow, for. one of them, Joseph
Cassidy, meant swift sure death, for
he is under sentence to hang on Sept.
2. For the other four, Eminent Shields
and Early Shields, brothers, Ben Hen
tor and Albert Green, IL meant life inn
prisonment.
Last Christmas night these men
lynched Ollie Snyder, a sheep herder
near Hamilton, Grant county, and their
arrest and conviction promptly fol-
lowed
Last evening they arrived in Port
land in the custody of the sheriff and
six deputies. 1t happened that the
of the Imperial hotel had been
a schoolmate of four of the number
during their boyhood and hearing of
their arrival he determined to give
them what cheer he could.
A banquet was arranged in private
dining room of the hotel and Metschan
had little difficulty in persuading the
sheriff to permit the charges and their
guards to partake of what good cheer
he had to offer.
