Fatal French Blank Cartridge

Paris correspondence LONDON Telegraph.
A strange and sad accident occurred in
the course Of drill maneuvers at Mon
treuil-sous Bots, in the suburbs Of Paris.
where a soldier was killed by a blank
cartridge discharged at him by a fellow
soldier. A company Of the 31st Regiment
was taken out to Montreuil for maneu-
vers. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
lieutenant in command decided to order a
sham attack on a fort. which his SOL
diers were to storm. Some Of the soldiers
were posted az sentries, and the others
We're told that in stor1ning the imaginary
fort they were to try specially to take
the sentries prisoners, but a formal or
der was given to the soldiers that they
were not to load their rifles. In spite OF
this a shot was suddenly heard, and
soldier fell with a groan He was young
recruit called Laurent. and near him
stood another soldier who had acted rs
sentry and was completely dunf ounded
by what had happened. Either he did not
know that there was cartridge in the
weapon or he fired thinking that it was
only part of the sham fighting. Laurent
was taken to the hospital at Begin. and
soon afterward expired. He had been
killed by the packing Of the blank car
fridge. which, being fired With monty q
yard or two OF him, acted like Q bullet.
The unfortunate soldier was the eldest
son Of a widow. who has three smaller
children to bring up.

doubt, look forward to joining the scouts
In the near future.
The camp site was in a miniature for
est, for the boys had gone out a few
days before and cut pine trees. With
their tents pitched, banners flying and
attired in brown khaki uniforms the
scouts were responsible for al realistic
scene.
After showing how they 'hiked7
through the woods and selected site

SAFETY VALVES 1 LIN AR|z. CANAL
Contracts for Wasteways Let; Work to Begin at Evergreen and Indian Bend to Lessen Load at Flood Time

Safety valves will be provided for the Arizona canal, one at Evergreen and the other at Indian Bend. during the first three weeks in January The contract for the construction of con- crete WasteWayS was let yesterday by the reclamation service to the low est bidder, H J. Mann at the figure $12,45S
 The reclamation service has been trying for long time to get around to putting in the WasteWays which are made necessary by the fact the whole Paradise valley drains out into the valley of the Salt between the points at which it is proposed to construct the cut out gates. Floods from the north sometimes do serious damage to the canal banks, cutting and washing them away and stopping service sometimes for. a considerable length of time in the rainy season But the cement wasteWays will take care of another difficulty encounter ed in the Arizona canal. When the water comes down from the Paradise valley, it sometimes gets into the ditch and when there is a full head dHeduN III tHe canal, some or the water is bound to top the banks. That also creates washes and breaks The Wasteways will permit lessening the load on the canal at time of flood, and will make it possible to save a great deal of repair expense. It is no use cutting out the water al Gran ite Reef. for the floods from the val ley are sometimes enough to raise all kinds of Cain with the ditches
 The Evergreen Wasteway will be located at the point on the canal known by that name, and the water will be allowed to find it's way to the river down a ravine There is al- ready an old wooden structure at In dian Bend, and ditch for waste wa ter The old structure; which is in pretty bad shape will be replaced by a strong concrete one and the ditch improved in kind.
 The bidders on the construction work were Martin and Gillas. Grant Brothers Construction company, Ari- zona Engineering and Construction company and Herbert J. Mann.

They Can Be Found Nowhere Else Than at Balke's Big Curio Store.

Again attention of Christmas shop pers is called to the beautiful articles on sale at Balke's Big Curio store, made of petrified or agatized wood from the great petrified forest of this state. There is no other place in the United States where these articles may be obtained Several years ago Mir Bake conceived the idea of mak- ing jewelry of this agatiZed wood and he began the collection of the finest specimens he could find. They were taken from the hearts of the petri- fled trees but they are no longr Ob- tainable since the government has converted the forest into a national monument and is guarding it with rangers.
 These articles are mounted in sterling silver or gold. They have made hit and the more the people hear of them the greater the demand for them becomes They consist of stick pins, scarf pins, cuff links, shirt waist pins, shirt studs, belt pins, tie clasps, beauty pins and many others
 All of them are sold on a guaranty that they cannot be purchased else that if they should not be acceptable the money will be refunded.
 All are put up in little boxes ready for shipping. For the convenience of patrons of the Big Curio store it will be kept open nights until Christmas.
