Dynamite explosive caps in the
hands of children are too freql at
this year. Tuesday near Raspberry,
on Paul Miethke's Sunny Side farm
where live Mr.. and Mrs. John
Goutch's and family, their little
daughter about ten years of age
climbed up to the high shelf ia the
tool house where dynamite percus-
sion caps were kept in box. In
some way she got one them down
and wanted to see one Ego off. J" So
she struck one of the "playthirgs"
with hammer or piece of iron. Re
suits were serious. A telephone
message brought out DIR. Pickett.
A thumb finger was badly lacerated
on tho left hand, one of which he had
to amputate d and the other was in
bad shape. Minor bruises and cuts
appeared about the face and head,
but her eyesight was not injured.

serious results would occur from the
accident.

bear was sporting beyond Salmo,
went cunning for his bruinship and
shot him near the Weber farm one
day last week. He weighed dressed
close to $50 lbs. and il was fat and
Juicy as water mellon. Those who
tested the flavor of the juicy bear
steak pronounced it o. K.
From the Press:
One of the very happy events Of
the vacation season was the dark
night party given last Monday night
by the Misses Meta and Anna Boutin
and Francis Boutin, when about
fifty Young people were entertained
at their home on Rice avenue and
First street.
Much pleasure was experienced in
finding partners by means of strings
scattered around the yard at the end
of which each young man found the
lady who was to be his partner.
The lawn, pergola and porches
were decorated with magic lanterns
and colored electric lights and pre-
sented very beautiful effect.
