Ole Bryan Accidentally Shoot,
julius Nevada in the Head
With an Air Gun.

Oihe Bryan. a young colored boy.
while playing with an air gun in Kirk
Woo last evening, accidentally shot
!ulius. the young son OF Charles Nevada.
Mr. Nevada went before Mayor Bres-
ock and had a warrant issued for the
Bryant boy, but the boy voluntary came
TO the mayor and explained that he did
not shoot at the Nevada boy. and that
II was an accident. The boy was not
seriously injured. and it is probable
the boy will not be prosecuted. Mayor
Bresock issued orders last night that
the practice of shooting with air guns

Over ~ government fre-nghters
were killed In the big fires In Idaho
last year. mainly because they were
not carefully trained. Scores ofsmiles
of trail had to be cut to get fire crews
into the heart OF some of the fires.
and once there they had little chance
to escape or to get achievements.
Forester Graves estimates that the
government will have to spend 81, 0OO.-
900 before the forests are completely
under control. Forest trails that would
stretch ten times across the continent.
80 900 miles, will have to Be built be-
fore all portions of the great woods
are accessible to fire-fghters. The
fire lines" those bands of safety that
surround the more dangerous dis
tricts and often effectually stop the
spread of a ground or surface fire.
must be increased by 10000 miles:
5000 miles of new telephone line
must be strung to lookout points and
along the trails. and $500 miles of
heavy wagon road built
When all this is accomplished. In
six or eight years; when supplies OF
tools are ready at every point. and
the force of summer firemen Is In
creased to the necessary number, 1t
