WILLIAM GRAY
SHOT MONDAY
Rifle Accidentally Explodss and Bullet
Tears Off Portion Of Skull
Happened at Burns Siding
VICTIM DIED TUESDAY MORNING
Funeral Services Held Under Auspices
Of Odd Fellow Lodge

William Gray was accidentally |
shot Monday evening about five
o'clock with high power .32 |
caliber Remington rifle near Burns
Siding, and died about FIVE o'clock |
Tuesday morning from the injuries
received
Gray recently entered into nego-
tiations for pole and post contract
near Burns Siding and planned to.
handle the contract in partnership
with a friend, John Crown. The
two men went to Burns Siding
Monday afternoon to look after
their contract.
Upon their arrival at the siding
Gray and Crown started to walk
down the Spokane International
tracks towards Boomers Ferry.
The story of the fatality is told as
follows by Crown:
AS we were walking along
Gray asked me for my rifle and
some shells and as we walked along
he shot at targets along the side of
the track. After a while we sat
down by the side of the track to
reload the gun. Gray got up to
resume shooting at targets. When
I heard the report of the rifle I
looked around and saw Gray lay
ing on his stomach in the middle
Of the track. l said, For God S
sake what are you doing, Billy,
and ran to him. His face was
covered with blood and it looked
as if he had been shot under the
jaw and that the bullet had come
out through his skull. He ap-
peared to be dead. / was scared.
There didn't seem to be any one
around the place and as l was
afraid train might run over him
] moved his body to one side of the
track and then started for town to
get help. I was about fifty yards
from Gray when the accident hap
pened. "
Crown arrived in Boomers Ferry
about six o'clock and party con-
sisting of Marshall Morley, Con-
stable McGreevy, DIR. Fry and
others went with H. A. Gale in an
auto to the scene of the accident.
Gray was alive when they arrived
but did not regain consciousness
There seems to be no reason to
doubt Crown version of the shoot
ing and it is conceded that Gray
was accidentally shot. The bullet
struck Gray on the right side of
his skull little above the right
eye and tore off part of the skull
1t appears from the location of the
wound that Gray had stopped over
a bit and as he stopped he had
placed the gun on rail in such a
manner as to cause it to explode.
The deceased is wellknown about
town and has made this village his
home for several years. He was
industrious and genial and respect
ed by all who knew him. He is
survived by wife and two little
children, father and a brother
He was member, in good stand
ing, of the local order of Ode
Fellows.
The funeral services were hello

PACKING FIRM HIRES DENTIST.
Teeth of Employees Kept In Good Con-
dition Free of Charge.


A packing firm of Chicago is looking
out for the health of its employees and
incidentally saving thousands of dol
lars annually.
The company has established a
dental Office in the plant. Teeth are
filed, pulled and crowned-in fact,
treated in any way that will tend to
keep a person in good physical condi-
ton.
The object of the company is not
philanthropic. Long ago it was found
out that when an employee is suffer
ing from toothache or his teeth need
professional attention he cannot work
as we'll until the teeth are attended by
dentist. Having learned this, the
company set about to furnish parlor
hire a dentist and send him a large
number of patients. There are many
at the plant.
The chief surgeon at the packing in
stitution keeps his eyes open for per-
sons who are ill. If examination
proves their illness is due to some
trouble of the teeth they are sent to
the dentist. Their pay goes on while
they sit in the chair and let the doctor
restore their health through their teeth
"The patients come back to work
with new vigor," said member of the
company Not only do they feel bet
ter-and, of course, we are glad for
that-but they work harder, and con-
sequently the wages we pay them net
lis more"

OLD DEED IS FILED
At CEDAR FALLS
ANCIENT DOCUMENT SHOWS
WONDERFUL INCREASE OF
LAND VALUES SINCE 1866.

Cedar Falls, Aug. 3o.--A relic Of
civil war days, when Cedar Falls was
a village and property here was
worth only song. was filed with the
county recorder today.
1t is quit claim deed dated Oct.
|16, 1866, by which James Mcfarland
and Anna Mcfarland, his wife, and
Alexander Mcfarland and Janet Nc
Farland his wife, Of Prince Edward
Edward Island, conveyed to Thomas
Myer of Blackhawk county, lots s
and 7, In block 81, I'm the village OF
Cedar Falls" The consideration
named Is $40.
The lots in question are located on
fremont street, between Third and
Fourth streets, within less than two
blocks of the public square and in
the heart of one of the best residence
districts of Cedar Falls. Today they
are easily worth $4,000 apiece.
The deed had never before been
placed on record in Blackhawk coun-
ty although the. property has changed
hands many times since 1t was given.
The absence Of any local record OF
the old deed placed a cloud on the
title and so after considerable tdou-
BILE the ancient document was obtain
ed and will now be recorded.
The incident again demonstrates the
need Of having all deeds recorded.
Had this document been destroyed
during the nearly half century it has
been in existence. flaw in the title
must have continued to exist until the
matter was cleared up by litigation
both costly and difficult.
At the present time one Of the lots
in question is the property of Nellie
M. Hammer The east half of the
other lot belongs to Eliza j. Rinen-.
bergk and the west half to Edmund G.
