SHOOTING RESULT OF
TOO MUCH LIQUOR
Richard Haines Shot by James Hall
Last Sunday Night While Both
Intoxicated Dangerous Wound is
Inflicted, the Bullet Passing Thru
The Body but Haines Will Recover
Richard Haines was shot by
James Hall last Sunbay night at
the latter's home in the Voltage
neighborhood. Both admit that
whisky was responsible for the
t-ouble, they having been good
friends before. Dr. Denman was
called to attend the wounded
man and did not consider it seri
ous but Dr. Harrison was called
later and upon examination found
the bullet had nassed through the
P' t.ifUf lnrwv inaf Iwlntu tlio hnnrl

rison put in drainage tubes and
at that time did not consider the
wounded man had an even chance
to recover but he has been im
proving ever since and every in
dication is favorable to his com
plete recovery.
Hall was arrested and brought
to Burns Monday by Sheriff Rich
ardson but as yet no preliminary
trial has been held. He is 70
years old and it is understood
Haines does not blame him for
shooting, it being forced upon
him to a certain extent
Miss Leonard, the only witness
to the shooting, states there was
nothing of consequence to pro
voke a quarrel. She had been to
Narrows after a bill of groceries
for Mr. Hall and in this was a
gallon of whisky. During the
afternaon some neighbors came
in, among them Mr. Haines. The
men drank more or less and Mr.
Hall invited them to stay for
supper, Haines being tho only
one to accept Later the old
gent'e nan asked him to remain
all night After Miss Leonard
had gone to her room and pre
paring to retire she notired them
quarreling and talk of shooting.

and removed tho rifles and shot

rovolver in Mr. Hall's room.
The wrangling continued and fin
ally Hall told Haines to go home.
The latter threatened tho old gen
tleman with a chair and Hall got
to his room and secured his gun.
Miss Leonard came from her
room and found the two men at
tho door with Haines apparently
trying to get his hands on the
old man's throat. She asked
him to desist but ho refused and
Hall shot
Miss Leonard is not a relative
of Mr. Hall's as has been report
ed, but has been with the family
for many years. They formerly
resided in California but Mr.
Hall was advised by physicians
to seek a higher altitude for the
benefit of his health and when
ho decided to come here he invit
ed Miss Leonard, whom he looks
upon in the light of a daughter,
to come along and get some land.
She has a place adjoining him
and as his health is poor she has
looked after his household duties
since they came. Mr. Hall's
wife is still in California.
The report that Miss Leonard
figured in the cause of the shoot
ing seems without any founda
tion whatever. Tho young, lady
bears a good reputation and her
general conduct is above re

wonderful artist who loved and
copied animals almost from his

ing paper on Millias, one of the

Mrs. Lampshirc contributed
much to the occasion by reciting
an Ode to Queen Victoria writ

her reign.
The completing touch was giv
en to the grogram when the
company gathered around the
piano and sang England's nation

Declare War on Coldt.
A crusade of education which
aims "that common colds may
become uncommon within the
next generation" has been begun
by prominent New York physi
cians. Here is a list of the
"don'ts" which the doctors say
will prevent the annual visitation
of the celd:
"Don't sit in a draughty car."
"Don't sleep in hot rooms."
"Don't avoid the fresh air."
"Don't stud yourself at meal
time. Overeating reduces your
resistance."
To which we would add when
you take a cold get rid of it as
quickly as possible. To accom
