SHOOTS DOWN
SUCCESSFUL RIVAL
Frank Forkey Says Bullet That
Struck Simon Grace Was Intended
For Lattef,s Wife.

Il didn't mean that for you. meant
one bullet for the woman and one for
me-"
Frank Forkey Is said to have made
this explanation to Simon Grace, sa-
loonkeeper at No. 799 Fort-st. west.
after sending bullet Into Grace's
abdomen while the two were having
an argument near Grace's saloon,
about $3.50 o'clock, Sunday morning.
Grace's wife, bride of q week. with
whom Forkey is said to be infatuated.
was close by when the shooting oc-
Cured. She bravely went to her hus-
bands assistance when he fell from
the revolver shot, and tried to wrest
the weapon from Forkey's hand. He
snapped the trigger during the scuffie.
but the revolver missed fire. She
called TO several men in the neighbor-
hood to take charge OF Forkey, but
they kept at a safe distance from the
revolver. Forkey broke away from
Mrs. Grace and walked one block
west on Fort-st. Seeing some men
following him, he started to run on
turning north. A little later he jumped
over fence and his pursuers lost
track of him.
A number OF police officers, includ-
ing Detective George Larkins, re-
sponded to a call. They searched for
him, but failed to md any trace OF
him. The hunt was continued all day
and night. but he is still at liberty.
Grace was removed to the Detroit
sanitarium shortly after the tragedy.
The surgeons made an effort to locate
the bullet, but had to discontinue
probing, because of the weak condi-
ton of the patient. He didn't lose
consciousness, and the doctors think
ne will survive.
Forkey boarded for the past five
years at No. $40 Second-st., where
Mrs. Grace has conducted boarding
house for a number Of years. He Is
35 years old. For some time he
worked in the Hamilton grocery, Por-
ter and Fifth-sts. He resigned his po-
sition Saturday night and later packed
his suitcase, apparently intending TO
leave town These preparations lead
the police to believe that he con-
tempiated killing Mrs. Grace. He was
in a restaurant at No. S14 Fort-st.
west, diagonally opposite to Grace's
saloon, when he saw Mr.. and Mrs.
Grace leaving their apartments over
the saloon to go to a nearby restau-
rant, Sunday morning. Forkey ap-
preached them and the shooting re-
suited. After firing the shot which
struck Grace, Forkey aimed another
shot at Mrs. Grace, but 1t went wide
of the mark.
Mrs. Grace was a widow, Mrs. An
ME Hindson, prior to marrying Grace.
She has three children, the eldest, a
girl. II years old, and two boys, aged
seven and -. She says that Forkey
repeatedly asked her to marry MIN,
and that he forbade her going with
Grace, and threatened aSnumber OF
times to kill her IL she married any
one but himself. Forkey has a wife
living and is not divorced from her,
Mrs. Grace says. Grace and MRS.
Hindson were married by the Rev.
FIR. Van Dyke, of st. Aloysius' church.
A revolver. supposed to be the one
used by Forkey, was found near the
scene of the shooting by Grover Hef'
ferman, living at Fort and seven
teenth-sts. He turned 1t over to the
police. Mrs. Grace thinks 1t is her
husbands revolver. and that Forkey
got possession Of II in her home.

OF Harper hospital, Saturday morning,
in connection with the medical, surgi-

man. Each surgeon operated and lec-
tured at the same time.
After operating on his second pa
tient. DR.. Carstens gave the doctors
q brief lecture on the use Of rubber
gloves during surgical work.
You will notice" said the doctor,
that didn't wear any gloves while
operating on the first patient, but did
in the second case. Now I believe in
the use OF gloves only when there Is
real cause to fear infection. I don't
like to use them any more than I have
to, for they prevent speed, and, you
know, speed Is everything In an opera
ton.
I'm the case OF the first patient
knew that I was dealing with clean
surgency; that is, there was no danger
of running into pus of any kind. In
the second case l felt that there might
be some danger OF encountering pus
or germs OF some sort. want to tell
you right now that I never take
chances on getting my unprotected
fingers into pus. In this connection I
believe In abstinence-not the prohibit
ton kind-I mean the abstinence from
laying myself open to infection

that the eachers In the elementary

more pay. l investigated the situa-
uon year ago, when there was an

FRAZER FAvORS PADDING.
Necessary In Dealing With Some

Allan II. Frazer, former prosecuting

ment Is needed for the regulation OF
some criminals.
II think Warden Russell Is justified
in padding certain prisoners" said
Mr.. Frazer In commenting on the agf-
tation being stirred up for a discontln-
uance Of prison punishment. There
are some prisoners who can not be
controlled any other way than by pun
ishing them. II is all right to use
kindness on some fellows. but II won't
work on all / know that from expert
ence. Some fellows are too brutal to
yield to kind words and sympathy;
you've got to use force on them and
show them that you are the boss OF
the prison. Those who are urging the
stopping OF corporal punishment are
misdirecting their energies"

IMPORTANCE OF LITTLE MILLS

In glancing over our exchanges it is
pleasing to note the large number of
small milling plants being installed
and operated in many parts of the
mining camps of the western states.
A few years ago it seemed to be the
general opinion and belief that there
was but little use in mill installation
unless a large and costly plant was
built; and these, as a general thing,
were erected for the treatment of ores
from mines which were but little more
than prospects; the result being that
many failures were recorded. Now,
however, common sense is gaining in
ascendancy, and companies owning
small mines, claim owners who have
a small tonnage of good ore in sight,
are beginning to realize the fact that
the way to build up is to begin in a
small way, at the bottom, and, with a
small reduction plant in operation, lay
the foundation for greater things.
There are many cases where owners
of good little mines, of promising
prospects with favorable ore showings,
have been unable to interest capital in
mine development and mill equipment,
and who have almost lost hope of re-
ceiving assistance from men of wealth
and means. In a number of cases,
however, such mine-owners have realiz-
ed the fact that they, themselves, are
Independent of the investor, and have
equipped their properties with small
milling plants. Some have resorted to
the old-time arrastra, while others have
put in one and two-stamp mills or
small chilians; and now they are send
ing in small bars of gold bullion, every
few weeks, and are in position so that
they are immune from the effects of
hard times and are almost in ignorance
of financial depression. At the same
time, they are developing their mines,
and paying for this development from
the output of their little mills. They
are putting in needed mine equipment
and, when the condition of their prop
critics will justify, they will put in
larger reduction plants until, at last,
they will have attained a position in
keeping with their original ideas of
the kind of a plant a producing mine
should have.
