registered. They insist that the voters
sign in exactly the way the name is
to appear on the saloon petition. The
liquor faction has lost many petitions
by reason Of the fact that voters had
not signed the petition in the exact
way their names appeared on the reg
istration book. Mistakes of the regis
trars resulted in the wrong initials Of
voters being set down or the house
number or street appeared incorrect.
The agents Of the liquor faction have
tried to correct these mistakes SO that

Boone. Nov. 10.-Sunday forenoon
about s: 80 o'clock at his home, No. 1925
Sixth street Engineer C. l.. Thompson
shot himself while 1t Is believed he
was still half asleep. He Is now In the

MIR. Thompson had como In Sunday
morning early from Omaha and was
sleeping soundly when Mrs. Thomp-
son arose to prepare the morning meal.
She was up a short time. engaged in
her duties In the kitchen, when she
heard shot. Rushing to her hus-
bands room she found that he had in
flicted wound on himself. probably
while In semi-awakened condition,
not realizing the nature OF his act. He
had used revolver. the bullet Of which
entered on the right side OF the head
and followed the skull back and up,
remaining In the flesh. The nature of
the wound, the poor aim, the lack OF
powder burns and the fact that he had
been so soundly asleep but a few min
utes before lead the family and ply
sician to believe that the wound was
purely accidental and would not have
been, had Mr.. Thompson been awake
He was very tired when he came In
from the west and probably was deep
in thought when he laid down for his
sleep.
He will probably recover. and the
bullet will probably be removed as
soon a. located.
