some darn funny deals after I got
there and some funny ones after
left there. I suppose I got every
crime under the sum charged up to
me. I know that at Savage, Mont.
l was charged with a hole lot of
crimes that I never committed
Such as stealing food from the
homesteaders and Stealing horses
and cattle that is a darn lie I wish
that l could go and face Gus Depuis
and his sister Anna Smith. That
women had better been sent to the
crazy house then this letter would
not have been writing out here in
the mountains. Her and some
others would go out in the night
and steal fax and lumber to build
log houses while l got the blame
for it. Gus Dupuis has got his
homestead fenced in with stolen
barbed wire and had his shack full
of stolen grub until l bought him
a sack of flour and some other
things so he could live on his
homestead. Then the dirty cuss
goes behind my back and tells all
the dam lies he can so l can't keep
my name clear and prove up on
my homestead. God but I would
like to have him by the throat right
now. Dear Sister, hope that you
will believe me but l have gotten
more dirt on other peoples account
and never said anything than
have ever given other people. If
them people at Savage. Mont. had
let me alone and given me a little
help and little trust l would not
have been here today. Now
spose l might just as we'll have
the game as the name l have de-
serted my homestead and it seems
all the people are against me for it..

Mill Team Wins Game

A good sized crowd attended the
game at Naples last Sunday when
the mill baseball nine defeated the
Naples nine by score of II to 9.
The game was interesting and at
times exciting. The Naples boys
hit Dunkle freely and the game
was no cinch for the local team
until Larson went into the box, for
the Naples boys were not able to
connect with Larson's curves. Z.
Saunders umpired the game.

FIRE ONCE MORE
VISITS BONNERS
Blaze Early Sunday Morning Burns
Out Frank Ferraro and
R. Braves
ORIGIN REMAINS A MYSTERY
May Have Started From Hot Water
Heater, But Ferraro Says No

Fire Sunday morning about 2:3O
completely destroyed the building
on north Main street occupied by
Frank Ferraro's barbershop. also
destroyed the building adjoining
1t on the north, and damaged to
considerable extent the building
occupied by the R. braves harness
shop.
Mr.. Ferraro figures his loss at
$3.50, with no insurance. Mr..
braves estimates his loss at $500,
and on his entire stock of over
SO 600 he carried insurance of
$500. The building occupied by
Ferraro and the one adjoining were
owned by P. B. Bothel, who said
the buildings could be replaced for
$500 or 5000. He carried no in
surance. The other building dam
aged was owned by Charles OCal-
laghan, who figures his loss at
$500, with no insurance.
The fire was discovered about
2:3O O'Clock by Kathleen Egan,
the little daughter of James Egan.
She, happening to be awake, saw
it through her bedroom window
and called her father, who ran
across the street and awoke Mar
shall Morley, who had just retired.
The marshal at once rang the fire
bell, and within Is or 20 minutes
the FIRE company had the ERE under
control. The company, assisted
by other citizens, did excellent
work in keeping the FIRE from
spreading, as the Bothel buildings
were a mass of flame when first
discovered. The fire evidently
started in the rear room of the
barbershop, but just how is
mystery. Mr.. Ferraro says the
last fuel put in the hot water heater
was at o'clock and when he
closed up at II o'clock there was
no fire in the stove. He feels
positive it did not start from the
heater. While it might have been
the work of an incendiary, no one
knows the facts of the case. Mar
shall Morley stood across the street
from the building at.1:3O and saw
no fire at that time.
Mr.. braves has resumed business
in the old Elite Cafe building
adjoining the Herald office. He
states that he feels very grateful
for the help given him by the
citizens in getting out as much of
his stock as was removed. Mr..
Ferraro is planning to open up in
another location Mr.. Bothel does
not intend to rebuild, but Mr..
O'Callaghan will repair his build
ing if he can do so and come
within the stipulations Of the
building ordinance.

RANCHER SHOT
BY INSANE MAN
John Rhodes, Living Near Moravia,
Receives Bullet Through Lung But
Kills His Assailant, Leppel
WOUNDED MAN WILL RECOVER
Leppel Believed To Have Escaped From
Montana Hospital For the Insane

John Rhodes, a rancher of Nor
avia, was shot through the right
lung Wednesday morning about
clock by a self-acknowledged
insane criminal, supposed to be
Charles Leppel, of Savage, Mont,
who had attempted to compel
Rhodes to allow himself to be tied
helpless with a piece of rope. After
being shot Rhodes secured his 80
Winchester rifle and killed Leppel.
After killing his assailant Rhodes
went back to his cabin, rested a
few minutes, and then started for
help. He had been shot with a
bullet from a 80 Mauser automat-
ic revolver at range of not more
than three feet. He had to walk
distance of about three miles from
his cabin to Moravia over a down
hill mountainous road and from
Moravia he was brought to the
Boomers Ferry hospital by d. c.
McColl in the latter auto. When
he arrived at Moravia Rhodes was
weak from pain and loss of blood
but seemed to regain his strength
on the trip to Boomers Ferry and
sat up in the auto and described
the incidents of the shooting. At
the hospital he was able to give a
full statement and to make a will q,
in which he left all his property to
his mother, Mrs. Eliza Rhodes, of
Orleans, Neb. According to the
will Martin Boruff was appointed
executor. At present writing
Rhodes is expected to live.
According to the account given
by Rhodes the man Leppel ap-
peared at the formers cabin about
three o'clock Wednesday morning,
tried the door and peered in at
both windows. Rhodes coughed
and the visitor left. After Rhodes
had breakfasted he saw the visitor s
tracks across his potato patch.
Rhodes followed the tracks and as
he entered the woods adjoining the
patch was confronted by the stran-
ger who leveled a gun on him and
told him to throw up his hands.
Rhodes laughed and asked the man
why he should throw up his hands.
Still talking to the man Rhodes
turned and walked back to the
house, the man following. AT the
cabin the man asked for a piece of
rope which Rhodes gave him. Then
the man ordered Rhodes to step
outside. Rhodes went out and was
ordered to stand up face against
the wall of the cabin and put his
hands behind him. Rhodes told
him that he would not do that and
jumped back inside the cabin and
shut the door. AS he closed the
door the stranger shot, the bullet
entering Rhodes chest a little to
the right of the center but did not
pass through the body. In the
meantime Leppel passed around
the cabin and started down the
trail.
A Winchester rifle hung on the
wall near the door and Rhodes
grasped this after he was shot, OPP
ened the door, went around the
cabin in the opposite direction tax
en- by Leppel and shot him through
the heart. Leppel must have seen
Rhodes before the latter shot for
he had been facing Rhodes and
had the Mauser revolver in his
hand, cooked. The bullet fired by
Rhodes passed through Leppel' :
