Adjourned Hiue Die.
The session of the legislature at the
Vogt last night was not as interesting as
though a senator was to be elected and
the vote about to be taken, so the lobby
was not as full as it might have been.
t took considerable time to organize the
ouse, and Imu it not been tnat many
t the members were eo far back on the
stage that they could not be heard, the
affair would have been much more ot a
success. There were some very bright
things said, and some much needed bills
were introduced. The session lasted
until 10:20, and it was only when some
one put out the lights and lowered the
curtain that the house seriously con
templated adjourning. A vote of sym
pathy with the audience was passed,
and everybody went home delighted to
do so. And yet that session was a vast
improvement on the gennine legislature.
They Surrendered.
A pleasant surprise was given the
Woman's Relief Corps at the close of
their meeting on Monday evening. A
drum serenade was followed by the en
trance of the members of the G. A. R.
post, filing in in military order. The
leader, Col. Patterson, exclaiming, "We
demand immediate surrender, and take
possession of this corps and hall." A
social time followed the complete sur
prise. Later on we were ordered to
"fall in," and the march ended in Mr.
Kellar'i dining ball, where an oyBter
supper awaited us, after which some
very sweet music was listened to in
Fraternity ball. Bo ended one of the
pleasantest meeting! on the records of
this post and corps,

A and Accident Occur Mnnriny.-ilteprten
lllnghnflfar Shot.
A sad accident occured shortly before
noon Monday near Walla Wnlla that re
sulted in tire death of young Stephen
Rtnghofler, 14-year-old .son of Joseph
Kinghoflcr. The particulars are as
follows :
Stephen Ringhofler, his younger
brother, Eddie, and Chas Woody, a 10-year-old
boy, started from Wtlla Walla
about 10 o'clock to hunt ground squirrols.
After wandering about for an hour or
more, they took a position on an em
bankment west of the penitentiary, and
awaited the appenrence of the little ro
dents. Woody had an old fashioned
Kentucky rifle, a muzzle loader, of 38
calibre, lying across his lap, with tho
barrel pointing toward Stephen Ring
holler, who Eat on his loft. Woody had
raised tho hammer of his gun, and
placed a cap on, but had not set the
trigger, when he chanced to see n squir
rel come out of its hole. "Let me have
your gun, Stove, to kill that squirrel, "
he said to his companion on the left. "All
right," responded Stephen, and he pass
ed over the loaded gun. Woody raised
his knee, took aim, and fired. Both
guns were discharged at once, and
Stephen jumped up crying, "I'm shot.
Help ! help 1" There was a great hole in
the sleeve of his right arm, and above it
was ring ol fire. He ran about two rods,
and then fell limp and apparently life
less. Woody, almost frightened to death,
ran to tho house of Mr. Barton, a short
distance away, and hurriedly told" Mrs.
Barton, whej ran to the rescue of tho un
fortunate boy. Just as as she reached
him he cave two faint gasps and expired.
He was carried to tho Barton residence,
while his brother, Eddie, hastened homo
to break tho terrible news to his par
ents. Both were rendered almost fran
tic, by the dreadful shock, and while tho
father has regained self-control, serious
alarm is felt as to the mental condition
ofhe poor grief-stricken mother.
Young RingholTer was a promising lad
who worked in his father's saddle tree
factory. j
