A SAD AND
FATAL ACCIDENT

Eugene NJ. Klein of Russell Gulch.
aged 10 years, youngest son of Mrs.
w. NJ. Kirk, accidentally shot and
killed himself Tuesday evening at
about $50 o'clock, near the head of
Virginia canon
At 4:30 p. M, young Klein, in COM
pany with two other boys OF about
his age (Pete Delsant and his bro
ther) left the Kirk residence to hunt
rabbits, young Klein carrying a shot
gun. They had spent about two hours
without success and were returning
home when within $50 feet north of
the old Moore residence near the
head of the canon, Klein saw a rab-
bit just above the road and cooked
his gun and prepared to shoot, when
the rabbit ran into clump OF bushes.
Klfen pursued, letting the britch of
the gun drag upon the ground. The
rabbit crossed the road and Klein
in jumping down the slight embank-
ment. discharged the cooked gun, it's
contents entering his body just above
the hip and all the shot lodging in
his abdomen. He reeled and fell in
to the road exclaiming, Hurry"
When his comrades reached him he
was in the last throes and life was
extinct soon after. The boys soon
notified the mother at the house and
the neighbors, who started for the
body which way lying about a quarter
of mile away. Just at that time
Mr.. Kirk hove in sight with his horse
and buggy, ON his return from Cen
trail and noticing the excitement,
hurried to the scene of the accident.
Mr.. Kirk placed the body in the bug
gy and the mother held the life-less
form until they arrived at their home
where Mr.. Kirk telephoned for the
undertaken, who prepared the body
for burial
Eugene was the step-son of w. NJ.
Kirk, prominent resident and busi-
ness man, who has exercised ten
der and fatherly care over him from
early youth, and the Observers heart
felt sympathy is extended the bereav-
ed parents and family in their great
affliction and loss of their noble son,
who was just entering career of use

Z. w. Davis and two sons, who left
Central August Goth for saltwater
and Grand Lake for an outing. and to
teach the young ideas to be the dar-
ing huntsman and angler born to
their noble sire, returned yesterday.
The rigors incident to a trip above
the clouds have brought the Japan
ese color to Mr.. Davis brow and lus-
tire to the eye, as well as Herculean
strength to the body and soul. He
says he found fishing in abundance
and many rancher's heart welled
with emotion as he daily replenished
their larder with his overplus of fish.
HIS only regret was that he was OBJ
liged to travel by the slow and ted
ious horse route, and ere another

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

unity is being exemplified in the
present campaign. A certain candi-
date for political honors, known for
his astuteness and good looks) and
whose diplomacy is a peer to that
of the sage of the grape-juice, has
so hypnotized the king of the Repub-
lican Welsh race of the Gittle King
DOM of Gilpin, that his waking
hours are spent in humble supplica-
ton in his behalf. And when this
willy representative of the human

STRANGE FREAK
OF ELECTRICITY

4 bolt of lightning at Mum, Colo
rado, the other day struck a wire
fence that ]. E. Bowie was building.
AT the time, Mr.. Bowie held one of
the wires in his hand and his wood
en- leg kept the electricity from
grounding, and saved his life.
This is an incident on a par with
the miracles that are now happen
ing in the present war in Europe.
An old German brigadier-general who
lost his leg at the battle of Sedan,
was shot in the leg in making a
charge on the breastworks before
Leige, and his leg shattered. He was
Immediately taken to the field hos
pital and preparations made for an
amputation, when 1t was discovered
he had a wooden leg. The surgeons
cut the straps instead of the bone,
inserted a new leg, and he was again
in the saddle directing his army in
the fierce onslaught, having lost on
ly 45 minutes of his valuable time
in the change of legs.
Moral: 1T some times pays to
have wooden perambulators."
