Special to Times Republican.
Armstrong. Oct. Nv. w. Wood,

man. and formerly engaged in the
banking business, accidentally shot
himself about noon Monday. He died
about four hours later. He was going
out in his auto to look at land and
took the gun along. Just before he got
into the car he placed the gun in the
back seat. The hammer was evidently
cooked and there was shell in the
barrel. Mr. Wood probably threw his
hunting Goa. in after the gun and was
standing in line with the shot. The
coat in some manner touched the trig-
ger. The gun was discharged and the
entire charge of shot entered his left
breast just back of the nipple, and
most of the shot came out under the
arm.
Surgical aid was given him at once,
and the wound was not considered
fatal, but his heart had been weakened
by illness, and he was unable to with
stand the shock and died at 4:45.
He leaves widow and two sons and
a 6-year- old daughter. He was born
and reared at Union. and has four
brothers, Adelburt and O. E. Wood, of
Union; ]. NJ. Wood. at Marshaltown.

TO BE HELD DURING BORDER
DAYS-SPECIAL QUARTERS,
. FEED, AND ATTENDANTS
FURNISHED FREE OF
CHARGE

A stock exhibit will be held in
Grangeville during Border Days. The
Commercial Club has appointed a COM
mittee consisting of Senator E. s.
Sweet, Doctor Slusser, and R. B. Kad-
ing to look after the exhibiting of live
stock during Border Days, and to see to
the collection of a good exhibit of all
classes and grades of horses and cattle.
This year the show will be for horses
and cattle only, but it is hoped that
the succeeding years will see entrance
classes for all kinds of stock.
A large barn has been procured for
the housing and care of all the stock
brought to Grangeville, and they will
have care and attention both day and
night. Grain, timothy and alfalfa hay
will be fed and an experienced stock
man will be in constant attendance to
care for the stock.
The horse shows held in the past
years have shown what is produced on
the prairie in the way of blooded stock
and the bringing together of the best
stock for Judging has been the source
of stimulation of the blooded stock
breeding in this section. Above all it
has enlightened many as to the efforts
being put forth aor more and better
stock and has afforded great encourage
