DEATH FROM
PISTOL WOUND
Willis Schwalbe Shot in Leg and Back
Monday When Six-Shooter Falls
Out Of Hip Pocket
BLOOD POISONING PROVES FATAL
Funeral Services Held This Morning
From Undertaking Parlors

Willis Schwalbe, a young man
of about rs years of age, was shot
last Monday in a peculiar manner
by the accidental discharge of a
"A calibre six-shooter which he
was carrying in his hip pocket, the
bullet passing through the calf of
his right leg and then evidently
was DETECTED in some strange man
ner so as to strike the man again
in the back just at the base of the
spine. Blood poisoning developed
Tuesdsy in the wound in the leg,
and Schwalbe died Wednesday
evening.
The funeral services were held
this morning at Moores Undertak-
ing Parlors and were conducted by
Rev. A. w. Roberts of the Metho-
dist church. Among the out-of-
town mourners was Fred Schwalbe,
brother, from Three Lakes, Wn.
who arrived here yesterday.
The young man, accompanied by
his brother Robert, was on his way
to Boomers Ferry, intending to go
to Meadow Creek in search of
work if they found none here.
When near the Mrs. c. P. Cleg-
horn ranch about a mile northeast
of town, young Schwalbe, accord
ing to his story, stopped over to
pick up a stone to throw at chip
munk when the revolver was dis
charged in some manner, with the
above results. Schwalbe stated
that the gun fell from his pocket
and struck a stone, which dis
charged it, but he could not ex-
plain how the bullet struck him in
the back and it was evident it was
not clear in his own mind how the
accident happened. His brother,
however, heard him cry out, Oh
I'm shot, and then saw him sink
to the ground. AS soon as posi-
BILE the brother hurried to town and
secured Major Walker to 60 out
and bring in the wounded man in
the majors auto. He was taken
to the Boomers Ferry hospital
where the physicians dressed the
wounds and where the bullet in
his back was found. Schwalbe was
not aware of the wound in his
back, which was slight, the bullet
just resting under the skin,
The only manner by which the
peculiar accident can be explained
is that the bullet passed through
the leg, then struck a rock and
was given a rotary motion that
whirled the bullet in curved line
over Schwalbe's head so as to
strike him again in the back.
Young Schwalbe was a hard
working young man, of good hab-
it's, and, with his brother, was the
sole support of a widowed mother
and two sisters, whom he had
brought out from the east but g
short tiue ago.

Prominent Democrats Getting In Lins
for Appointments to Be Made
By Governor Alexander
COVERNOR-ELECT COMING HERE
Local People Plan Banquet in Honor
Of New Executive

Governor elect Moses Alexander
arrived in North Idaho the forepart
of the week and before he returns
to Boise will visit Boomers Ferry
He is expected here today or to-
morrow and local business men are
planning to give banquet in his
honor at Kent's hall.
According to Boise papers Mr..
Alexander is likely to be besieged
by ofhce-seekers on his tour of the
state in an effort to find out what
the people want in the way of legis-
lation and state administrative mat
tiers. Among the important plums
at the disposal of Mr.. Alexander is
the appointment of the state game
warden and +. w. Leeper, of
Occur d'Alene City, is said to be in
line for the place with host of
friends to back him. There are
several prominent democrats after
the appointment as bank commits
sioner, among whom are Ross
Black, cashier of the Occur d Alene
Bank and Trust Co., and w. B.
Hager, cashier of State Bank of
Harrington.
1t is understood that our towns
man, J. P. Dunn, will seek the ap-
pointment as warden of the state
penitentiary and of course the peo-
pie of Bonner county would be
glad to see him get it. 1t is a good
position and as an old democratic
warhorse Mr.. Dunn is surely en-
titled to some recognition. 81
1t is claimed that M. F. Cum
ningham, a newspaper man of
Boise, will be appointed as private
secretary to the governor and L. ].
Phelps is being strongly recon-
mended for the position of insur-
ance commissioner. Mr.. Phelps
served under the Hawley admins
tration.
While Governor elect Alexander
has given no intimation of what he
will do in regard to any appointive
Office, it is generally taken for
granted, in face of his campaign
addresses, that there will be no ap-
pointment of commissioner of i'm
migration and the Office will be
practically abolished. The last leg
islature purposely failed to provide
an appropriation for it. The COVER
nor-elect will have the appointment
of the members of the Panama Pa
cific exposition commissioners who
in turn elect an executive commits
sioner.
There is also a great deal of I'M
certainty about the pure food and
the board of health departments.
Both may be abolished. That the
Office of secretary of board of health
will be is generally conceded. If
the pure food department is main
tanned the work of the health de-
partment will be consolidated with
it. There is very strong posi-
bility, however, that both may be
abolished, or if not they will be
cut down.
The same uncertainty applies to
the public utilities commission and
the state tax commission. Whether
one or both will be abolished or
their powers curtailed is an open
question. 1t is because of this I'M
certainty that the present governor
is said to be having some difficulty
in finding a man for the position
on the public utilities commission
made vacant through the resigna-
ton of Judge Standrod.

Charlie Douglass May Escape Trial

Charlie Douglass, recently arrest
ed upon his return here, after serv-
ing a term of three years in the con-
vict camp of Macon county, under
grand jury indictment found sew
eral years ago and charging him with
assault and battery, was expected to
be tried at the present session of the

But, in all likelihood, he will
never be tried. The officers have
been unable to locate any of the
states witnesses, including the one
who is alleged to have been assault
ed and the prosecution can't proceed
without them.
Douglass is wanted by the Macon
county authorities for an offense
committed there, and will probably
be delivered to the sheriff of that
