AWFUL.1RAGEOY
near CALDWELL

Startled by the explosion of q
shotgun she had Just left leaning
against the house by the side of the
door, Mrs. Henry Otto, who had
Just gone out OF the house to meet
her husband returning to the noon
meal. rushed back to find her cid
est son at the table with his brains
oozing from gaping wound where
had been his right eye a moment be-
fore.
The Otto family live about four
miles east of this city. and consists
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Otto, two
little sons and daughter, together
with q brother of Mr.. Otto. A
chicken hawk had been lowering
about the place, and Mrs. Otto had
carried the shotgun to the uncle OF
the children. as he was working
near the house. Returning with the
gun, Mrs. Otto stood the weapon
against the house while she pre-
pared the noon meal. The children
were seated at the table, Raymond,
the unfortunate lad, and his little
brother. on the side opposite the
door. Tho father returning, Mrs.
Otto started to meet him, the little
girl following. It Is thought that
the dog knocked the gun down, and
the explosion which followed missed
the little girl, crossed the table and
entered the right eye of the 9-year-
old Raymond, literally smashing to
jelly all of the interior structure.
OF the entire load. only one shot
missed the lad.
Mortified beyond relation, the
mother rushed to the bleeding form
OF her little boy. Neighbors soon
arrived. and when the stunning ef-
fects Of the horrible tragedy passed
away to some degree and the father
realized what had happened his
grief was so great that It took three
men to hold him and keep him from
DOING himself injury. The mother
Is In practically the same condition.
Coroner Lang was summoned,
and the burial Of the little fellow
takes place this afternoon at the
Nampa cemetery.

Fair q Success.

E0A y 0uCCS88s
H. A. Griffiths, president of the Can
yon County Fair association, made a
brief report of the fair just closed. A
detailed report was not possible at
this time, but he hoped to be able to
present such statement at the next
meeting.
Mr.. Giffiths said the fair had been
great success. Under the manage
ment this year the total indebtedness
of the association has been reduced
$4,000. The fair has paid its way
this year and is expected that quite
little sum will be left over to pay up
old debts. Mr.. Griffiths said he had
made sevral mistakes, owing to his
inexperience in this work, but on the
whole felt satisfied. 1t is regretted
that Fruitland, Payette, Nampa and
Roswell did not make exhibits as usual
but next year they will all probably
be presented.
The authorized capital stock is
$z5,OOOOO and the grounds, etc., is es-
tlmated at figures running between
$4,000 and $4,000. The concessions
this year netted about $6OO.OO
The members of the club expressed
appreciation of the work of Mr.. Crit
fiths, Mr.. Gowen, Mr.. Nichol and
those who so ably worked for the
good of the cause without renumera-
ton.
Upon the president calling for a re-
port of the committee representing
the club at the Idaho DEVELOPMENT
League, held at Boise recently, Mr..
Hasbrouck rose and stated that the
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Red
way, was obliged to be absent, and had
requested him to make brief report.
The matter of Caldwell joining the
Idaho League of Commercial Clubs

EXTREME PREcocITY.

:
It has long been noted that many
precocious children die young, and
that extreme precocity being in the
nature of disease, should be a subject
of the gravest care Medical author
tiles hold that in highly precocious
child the exercise of the intellect,
whether in lessons or otherwise,
should be controlled, not, as is too
often the case. unduly stimulated If
there is any desire that the Child live
to maturity. The annals of precocity
present no more remarkable instance
than the brief career of Christias
Heinecker, born at Lubbock, February,
1921. At ten months he could repeat
every word said to him; at twelve
months he knew by heart all the
principal events told in the FIVE books
of Moses. In his second year he
learned the greater part of the history
in both the old and New Testaments.
In his third year he learned to speak
Latin and French. In his fourth
year he made a study of religion and
was able not only to repeat all he had
read but to express his own judgment
upon it. He was taken to the court
at Copenhagen and proclaimed a
wonder. He then learned to write,
but his constitution being weak, he fell
i'll and died on June 81, 1925, when
little more than four years old, which
should be warning to Iowa parents
not to push their precocious young
sters too hard.

S12, 100000 DAM ACROSS
COLUMBIA RIVER
Homesteader Reports That Machinery
Now in Use In keokuk VIII Be
Sent to Priest Rapids.

ELLENSBURG, Oct 17.-That a
-S12, 100000 dam is to be thrown across
the Columbia river at Priest Rapids TO
develop from 10000 to 100000 horse
power, is the statement made by Os-
car Yoightlander, homesteader. Mr.
Voightlander has received letter
from Keokuk, Ia, where the Missis-
sippi river is being damned, and the
letter states that the machinery used
in the construction work there is to
be shipped to Priest Rapids. The
Keokuk dam will be completed with
in a few months.
The Columbia river valley between
iWenatchee on the north and Pasco on
| the south, is practically a virgin strip
of country, rich in agricultural posi-
bilities, but lacking transportation
and irrigating facilities. The Milwau-
/ kee railroad is now building an extern
sion down the west bank of the river
i from Beverly to Hanford, and this is
expected to be in operation by De
cember l. Homesteaders along the
line believe that the first freight ship
ments down the new line will include
machinery for the big oa1n at Priest
Rapids.
Tentative plans for the big engi
neering work at the rapids call for a
canal nine miles long, 300 feet wide
at the top and 100 feet wide at the
bottom, with depth of 45 feet. The
board of army and navy engineers
who have examined the project, have
set forth the condition that this cana
must be large enough to accommodate,
boats, and must be provided witt
Il locks.
1t is proposed to distribute tn,
power generated at the rapids up ant

purposes. Many of the ranchers nea
