shot BY HIS BROTHER
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF
GUN PROVES FATAL
JESSE CANNON or BRUCE VICTIM
Charge Enters Brain at Short Range
Three Boys Start Out to
Kill Dog

Sunday morning about O'Clock oc-
Cured the accidental shooting of Jesse
Cannon, age Is, one of the twin sons
of John Cannon of Bruce. The boys
had been looking after their fathers
bees, stored in the cellar of W. ii.
Stalman's house, near nelghbor.
Near there they had found furnishing
dog, for which they had been caring
but one desired to put out of its misery,
so they took with them for that pur-
pose a shot gun. Coming to the place
they found the dog dead. They then
went to the river near the old c. r. q
NJ. landing to See if the ice had broken
up.
Returning, when they came to the
road they saw team coming and not
wanting to be seen with guns as if
hunting on Sunday, they hid them in
the brush. When the friends had
passed on. the smallest boy Harry aged
IL, was sent for the guns, little 22
rifle and single-barrel shotgun. They
were brought one under each arm,
pointing down until within about eight
feet of the two older brothers, Frank
and Jesse. In raising the gun to hand
it to Jesse in some unknown manner
the hammer was partly raised and flew
back, exploding the shell and sending
the charge through the brain of Jesse,
causing instant death.
The two little brothers, shocked and
frightened almost out Of their senses,
thought at once of their father away
from home, being fireman at Arpin's
mill and not knowing what to do, they
carried their dead brother away from
the road to spot concealed from pas
sers by and left him there while they
hurried home to send the other twin
brother after the father. Help soon
came from other sources and the body
was taken to the undertaking rooms at
the Bruce Mercantile store.
The stricken father and the mother
less children have the deepest sympa-
thy of the community.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev ]. w. Hadden on Tuesday after
noon at the Congregational church at
Apollonla, in the presence of a large
audience of sorrowing friends.

Anti saloon League Lecturer

A late message from Rev. w. D..
Cox states that he can not fill his APP
pointment to speak in Ladysmith next
Sunday. This is disappointment, but
Attorney John F. Baker of Madison is
coming in his stead, which is indeed a
privilege to the people of Ladysmith.
Mr.. Baker is Attorney and Superin-
tendent of the Legislative department
of the Anti-Saloon League, is sane,
forceful speaker and will bring some
thing of practical business value on
the question. 1t is the duty and priv
ilege of every man to hear his present
alton of the case, whether you are
favorable to temperance or not. Wor-
denis opera house Sunday afternoon
and evening, and he will no doubt
speak at the Methodist church in the
morning.

NO Scarlet Fever at Hawkins

The measles-scarlet fever contro-
versy has been settled beyond ques-
ton. Some person with more mean
ness than brains reported to the State
Board of Health that there was an
epidemic of scarlet fever here and that
the physician was pronouncing it Ger
man measles in order to protect the
people from quarantine. DR.. Spencer,
of Wausau, a member of the State
Board of Health, was sent here to in
vestigate. He came Tuesday and
made thorough investigation. He
says that he did not find the slightest
trace of scarlet fever but did find that
we had had and were having small
epidemic of German measles. His
statements confirm those of Drs. Baker
and Landmark and settle the matter
beyond any question. Hawkins Re-
porter.

MACKIN FOR MAYOR
WILL RUN AGAINST MAYOR
D. H. RICHARDS
CITY ELECTION NOT UNANIMOUS
Two Candidates for Alderman in Each
Ward and Two for City
Assessor

With spring election only ten days
distant, candidates for city offices are
being brought out by their friends.
The Journal last week announced that
Mayor Richards had consented to be a
candidate for reelection, and it is pre-
sumed that this is true If other city
officials. Opposition to the present ad-
ministration has developed by the plac-
ing in the field of other candidates.
w. N. Mackin has consented to be-
come candidate for mayor, and if the
vote he received in Ladysmith for coun-
ty superintendent two years ago is any
criterion, he will make a good race.
His. principles are well known, as he
has always been active along the lines
of social purity and law enforcement.
1t is safe to say that q strong fight will
be put up against him and those candi-
dates who stand with him.
For Assessor, VIM. Dodson is can
didate against A. J. Martin, and there
is talk of others entering the race.
For alderman of the First ward NOM
ination papers are being circulated for
Frank Harwood and C. E. Cole.
In the second ward j. l.. Ryall is
candidate to succeed A. Roesler, and J.
F. Cass is also being urged to run.
In the Third ward S. B. Krauss and
Nate Hand will be the candidates.
For members of the county board,
Supervisors Geo. Manley, 0. E. Peder-
son and Geo. Goocher will probably not
have any opposition.
So far w. E. Clark, the present in
cumbent, is the only candidate men
toned for city treasurer.
1t is understood that the license ques-
tion will not be voted on in the city
this spring.

ANOTHER RAILROAD COMING
Runors at Owen that the Milwaukee
is Building this Way

is Building this Way
The people of the enterprising little
town of Owen are much interested in a
recent report that gives rise to the be-
lief that another railroad may parallel
the 500 line from Owen to the Twin
Ports. 1t has long been known that
the Omaha holds an option to purchase
the short line known as the Falrchlld q
Northeastern and running by way OF
Greenwood from Owen to Fairchild and
connecting with the Omaha near Green
wood and it is now rumored the Omaha
intends to purchase and partly recon-
struct the Fairchild road and to cross
the Wisconsin Central 500 at Owen on
the wav to the Great Lakes via Lady
smith. This with the large improve
ments now under way in railroad mat
ters at Owen causes that progressive
little city to believe an era of golden
prosperity is about to unfold within its
limits. Tony Enterprise.
Editor Deuel. informs us that he was
in error as to the road, it being the Mil
waukee instead of the Omaha, and that
sounds more reasonable.

About two O'Clock Saturday morning
the freight depot on the Chicago divi-
sion was entered during the temporary
absence of the night operator and 800
abstracted from cupboard, where the
money of the Office was kept. So far
there is no clue as to who the guilty
person is. The operator says that he
was only absent from the building for a
short time, having stepped across the
track to fix the fire in the passenger
depot. Nobody was in the freight de-
pot when he left and no one was there
when he returned. The theft was evi-
IDENTIFY made by someone who was
familiar with the depot and the habits
of the employees.

SEVERE DAMAGES
BY CRUCES RAINS
Hay Crop Is Soaked-Mine
Reported to Have
Suffered
Suffered.

Las Cruces. n. NJ, July 12.-Reports
have reached here that q cloudburst
near the Modoc mine in the Organ
mountains resulted in considerable
damage to the camp at the mine, as
well as endangering some OF the mine
equipment
Shipments Of cantaloupe. pIums,
peaches. string beans and onions went
north today from the valley, destined
to points in Colorado, Kansas and even
as far east as Missouri These ship
ments were made by express, as the
crops are slightly delayed on account
of excessive rain.
A heavy rainstorm visited the upper
valley again Monday night, starting
about o'clock in the evening. The
rain fell steadily until well toward
morning soaking the ground thor
oughly and doing considerable damage
TO the alfalfa crop, as the second cut
ting should be well under way by this
time and the continued rains make it
impossible to cut the hay and save it
between showers.
So far the damage TO the cantaloupe
crop is small, however, it is the ex-
perience of the growers that when. the
cantaloupe begins TO form the webb on
the outside. the rain is absorbed in
stead of running of, and possibly 10
percent of the crop has already started
TO webb.
The first train from Ell Paso since
Monday morning arrived late Tuesday
afternoon.

Ell PASO TO SUPPLY
CABBAGE MARKET
Shortage Of Crop in Other
Sections of Texas &
Reported.

There is a famine in the south Texas
cabbage market and the Ell Paso valley
is looked to to relieve the shortage. as
shown by want ad. in The Herald, in
serted by Lee d. Martin, a produce
broker, for five carloads of cabbages.
The crop in the eastern, northern and
southern sections of the state has been
a failure, and, although the recent
heavy rains have done considerable dam
age to the valley crop, Mr.. Martin ex-
poets to get his supply here.
As he says, after the first crop at
the beginning of the summer. there IS
no other crop until the fall The FL
Paso valley could easily supply this
want, as its crop, which natures about
the middle OF the summer, comes at Just
the right time"
So far Martin has received a promise
of one car and expects to fill his order
in The near future.
