SHOOTING
ACCIDENT
Chauncey Knobs Shot Through the Left
Shoulder With .22 Rifle Last
Monday Evening
ALL MYSTERIES NOW CLEARED
Accident Painful But Not a Serious
One

Chauncy Knobs, the II year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Knolls,
was accidentally shot through the
left shoulder Monday evening with
a % caliber rifle which was dis
charged as young Knobs was climb
ing over some logs.
Knobs had borrowed the rifle from
the boys of w. H. Heideman and
after being wounded returned the
gun to the owners. He did not tell
the Heidemans he was shot but hur-
ried on to town on horseback to re-
ceive medical aid. The wound bled
freely and by the time Knobs had
reached the l. w. Lindsey place he
was in a weakened condition. He
stopped at the Lindsey home and
asked the Lindsey boys to get him
a drink of water. When the boys
returned with the water Knobs had
fallen from his horse and was in
fainting condition. He was carried
into the Lindsey home and cared for
until Mr.. Lindsey could go to town
after DR.. Fry a distance of some
five miles.
DR.. Fry found that the bullet had
entered near the left arm pit and
had passed through the body cours-
ing upward. No bones were broken
and unless complications set in young
Knobs will suffer no i'll effects from
the accident. The young man was
able to be up apd around Wednes-
day. When Knolls' condition at the
Lindsey home was first discovered
it was believed that he had been
shot by some enemy, this theory be-
ing given credence on account of the
fact that he had no gun with him.
When Knolls started for town, after
the accident, he did not think the
wound was serious one. By reason
of the first rumors which circulated
after the shooting Sheriff Worlcy
and Prosecuting Attorney Hcighton
went to the Knolls' home Monday
evening to investigate the matter.

YOUNG BOY BADLY NEGLECTED
Broke Arm Several Days Ago-No
Medical Attention.

SNOWFALL" boy about six years
old who is a familiar character on
the streets of the town, was taken
before Drs. Fry and Faucet yester-
day for treatment for broken arm
which had not received any kind of
attention for several days. The lad
was taken by Sheriff Worley after
his condition had been discovered by
local people.
The boy told that he had fallen off
some rocks and hurt himself several
days ago. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edison, who live in a house in
the rear Of the K. P. Hall. The IA
Their of the boy said that he knew the
lads arm was hurt but had no idea
the bone was broken.
Examination of the injury showed
that the boys arm had been broken
a week or ten days. The bones had
knit together in a very crooked man
ner. The boy will be taken to the
Bonners Ferry hospital where the
bone will be re-troken and correctly
set.

SEWER ORDINANCE is PASSED
Town Board Decides to Take Whole
Town Into Improvement District

At regular meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the town held last
evening Ordinance No. II, published
elsewhere in this paper, was passed
upon a unanimous vote.
This ordinance provides for the
forming of Sewerage Improvement
District No. l and provides that the
district shall take in practically the
entire town, excepting only such lots
as are of no value, located on hill
sides.
The sewer ordinance provides for
the appointment of Sewer Commits
sion and states the duties and powers
of the commission; provides for the
construction of sewer and sewerage
disposal works as outlined by maps
and estimates prepared by Sawyer
Brothers, engineers; provides for
means of fixing costs and assess
ments and the issuance of bonds.
The bonds are to be issued in de-
nominations of $500 each. First pay
ments will be due about Ia months
from the present date. Interest on
the bonds was fixed at 6 per cent
and the bonds must be sold at par
and may be redeemed at any time.
The passage of the ordinance does
not mean that the Sewer Commission
will proceed to construct sewers in
every part of town. 1t is under
stood that only the trunk lines will
be laid now and that the laterals
will be laid only where the majority
of the property owners petition for
the same. No person will, it is
claimed, be forced to connect with
the sewerage system until such q
time as his private cesspool be-
comes a public nuisance.
