A Jackson county mallcarrler has killed six black bears this season along his route, three of them right on the trail he traveled. Because she refused to marry him. Oeorge Boyer shot Marie Benches, wounding her with four bullets, but not fatally, then killed himself at the home of Mrs. 8. (i. Ramsey. 470 Taylor street, at 6:30 o'clock last night. Miss Sanchez waa -shot three times through the lungs and once through the right hand, but Dr. Sanford Whiting, who ts attending her at Good Samaritan hospital, said this morning that unless, some un expected complication set in she would recover. Miss Sanchez is a' Mexican brought here from Mexico City by Mrs. Ramsey as a companion and housekeeper. Boyer Is Mrs. Ramsey's brother and was 18 years old. He waa a miner and reached the city yesterday morning from Wal lace, Ida. where his interests were. On a previous visit he had met the girl and fallen in love with her. Boyer went to the residence of his sister fully expecting to receive from his" sweetheart a warm welcome. She greeted him coldly. During his absence It la said she had transferred her affec tions to another. He spoke of the mat ter to his sister, saying he desired to marry the girl. When advised to wslt he said he could .not do so; that he loved the girl too deeply ana could not consent to return to Wallace without her. He waa advised by his sister that perhaps In a few days the girl would change her mind and consent to the marriage. Boyer then replied that he had nothing to live for, and threatened to commit sulolde. At 6 o'clock Mrs. Ramsey left the house for a visit. Thirty minutes later Boyer met Miss Sanches In the parlor and renewed his pleadings for sn early marriage. He drew a revolver and be gan firing at close range. The first three bullets entered his victim's lungs and the fourth pierced her right hand, which she threw to her breast involuntarily. Miss Sanchez then fWd from her as sailant. She rushed out the front door snd to the home of C. P. Hare. 448 Tay lor street, where she sought refuge Dr. Whiting waa summoned and cared for the girl, having her removed at once to the hospital. After Mlas Sanches fled Boyer then turned the weapon on himself and fired one bullet through his right temple. He fell to the floor and died Instantly. Policemen Hammersley and Nelson Investigated the case and Coroner Fin ley took charge of Boyer's body. Mrs. Ramsey was summoned and returned to her home. She was almost hysterical over the tragedy. No funeral arrange ments have yet been made, but It is be lieved Boyer will be buried here m a local cemetery. FIRE CHIEF AND HIS AIDES ENFORCING LAW rhlef Dave Campbell of the fire de partment and hlsgthree battalion chiefs are makina- a campaign among tht larger buildings of the city, compell ing property-owners to put in nre eo canes snd standplpes. In all three story buildings ladder fire escapes must be provided, and all buildings over three stories high must contain both ladder Are escapes and standplpes. Heretofore property-owners have been very negligent In providing these. As the city haa grown, the authorities now see that these precautions against loss of life In case of fire must be provided. In the building ordinance which was passed by the city council some time ago there are provisions for fire es capes in all buildings three stories or more In height. It Is this ordinance which Chief Campbell and his assuit ants are now attempting to enforce. Prooertv-owners are complying quite generally with the ordinance and Chief Campbell ststes that very little trouble Is being encountered. LABORER SEEKS TO OVERRIDE FOREMAN H.
