McMynn and family, ail of whom have
recently lieen stricken down with a
severe attack of la grippe.
The foundation is being laid in Green-
wood Oily for a new building of large
dimensions, which is lieing constructed
for Messrs. Sansoin & Holbrook, mining and real estate, agents,
Mi. 0. D'B. Green, after completing
the survey of the Jewel and Delicto
Giande claims iu Long Lake "ciinip,
owned by the Brilish Columbia Prospecting and Promoting syndicate, proceeded to Osoyoos on Thursday's slage.
The pasl week witnessed a general
clearance of patients trim the Greenwood hospital, as the following le-
turned to their hemes cnnvalescent:
Mrs. Wiseman uf Grand Forks, Mr. 0,
fi. Stuart of Cumin, and Mr. McKay
Ingram of Midway.
The people of Greenwood uud Anaconda are applying tu the minister nf
education for the formation of unol-liei-
school district on Boundary creek, tu
adjoin the present Midway school district. The increase ill population during the past year makes this necessary.
Mis W. T. Thompson's many friends
wili lie glad to hear thut she is speedily
recovering froui a serious illness, lasting uver a period of two weeks, during
wbich time her condition was extremely critical. Dr. Jakes was at.
tendaiit physician, and lo his skill
may be attributed thepilient'sspeedy
recovery.
Harvey Wilcox, a rather noted
character in the district, was arrested
at Fairview a few days iigoon a charge
of stealing a horse at Hock Greek recently aud selling the same at Fair-
view. The accused was brought, befure Thos. Ellis, J. P., on the 22nd insl.
at Osoyoos, and after a recital of the
evidence in the case the magistrate
coiiiuiitled Wilcox fur trial.
Consequent, upon the construction of
the irrigation system al Midway, much
building will Ik* indulged in hy parties
desirous of going into business at luis
point. By rumor curreutiit the pres-
vnl time il would seem the town is to
lie supplied this summer with quite a
nuni tier nf new places of liusiness, tu
any nothing of the many residences
putties coulrii.pliitc en-el iug.
A second townsite is being laid out
al Fairview, Ibis second one heing put
upon tbe market by Mr. Thus. I'lllis of
Penticton. The former was platted
and put upon tlie market by Mr,
Sprotile of Faii-view, ti'liuinvll,* a !(20-
acre ptv-emplioii al lhat point. Consequent upon the lively times Fuirview
is now experiencing, nu doubt rent
estate will he eagerly sought after, and
therefore the proprietors of the ri val
townsites should have no diftictilty lu
driving a Nourishing trade.
The death of live valuable canines is
tlle result of the iudiKcrimiuaU'dispi
niti.ni of strychnine puison hails laid
nlong tbe luuin trunk road helweeu
Bock Creek and Greenwiiud Cily. As
a resull of I he death of suine uf these
valuable dogs, lhe owners are on llu
u-nr path and sbutilj II he discovered
who the party is who so heedlessly
laid out such baits, be will certainly
feel the effect of their indignation.
There is a provincial statute in force
regulating the laying out of puison for
the purpose of destroying vermin,
which in lliis case scents lo huve been
violated. It is lo lie hoped the strung
arm of the law will reach the culprit.

WOUNDED BY A PISTOL SHOT.
A sad mistake, (ind one that might
have heeu attended with filial consequences, took place licic on Friday
morning butt, when Mr. J. Hood of
Greenwood City was shut through the
arm hy our resident constable and
recorder, Mr. W. G. McMynn.
To an Advance representative, by
(be parties present ul the time of lhe
shooting, the following fuels were recited: It wuuld seem thai different
patties having becomeucquniiilcd with
llle fuel Ihal. the lille to a mineral
cliiliu wns aboul lo lapse, which claim
is Bind tu In- un extension nf I be funiuus
Mother Lode in llciiilivuod camp, Ihree
or four men, atilulig llieni Messrs. W
Lewis, H. Fisher uud the wounded
party, went out to Deadwood camp
and directly after 12 o'clock al night
etaked uut, tliecuvetedgitiiuid. Having
accomplished Iheir object so far, lhey
repaired; to the government olllee at
Midway, there to record Iheir claims,
at which point they arrived about 8
o'clock Friday morning, Having arrived at, the record office, lhey took up
their positions on llie steps outside,
but after remaining a lime une uf the
parties left aud went over lo the hotel.
At Ihis time Mr. McMynn, liis wife,
daughter and Miss McKeuzie, who resides with the family, were all fast
asleep, Iu fact Mr. McMynn unil his
family had been confined to bed for a
week previous suffering from a severe
attack of la grippe. Presumably after
the parlies Hood uml Lewis luui re-
luaiincd outside l',.|.,iliiit. la.lf utilio-.it,
a tupping sound was heard in the
house, which awoke all its Inhabitants
simultaneously. Hearing this sound,
and believing it proceeded froui the interior of I he office, which is situated in
the house next lo the bedroom of the
family, Mr. McMyiiu gnl up and proceeding along a passage nay, listened
at the office dour whicli opens into the
passage, Afler being ihere for a few
seconds he became convinced that some
parlies were in the office and were
tampering with the safe. He then
went into the kitchen and was about,
to proceed oulside, when he noticed
some one puss and repass the window,
at lhe same time lie heard a door open
iu the house, and soon returned to
investigate, Upon moving back In
the passage way he tnelMiss McKeuzie,
who asked if be heard Ihose men in
the office and were lhey not robbing
tiie safe, and where was his gun? ll
would de well here lu slate thnt Miss
McKeuzie carried a liglil in hci-hand,
uud before ineeling Mr. McMynn and
while be was in the kitchen, bud been
iii Ilis room for Ihe purpose of arousing
him, This fact accoiuils for a light
having been mil iced in lbe room next
to llle ofllie by the parlies,oulside,
just previous to the shooting,
But to resume lhe narration of the
of the affair, il must be said i he meeting with Miss McKeuzie and her observations strengthened the recorder's
uwu convictions, aud immediately he
proceeded oul of the house by the
hack door, and coming around lo the
corner where a view of the office door
could be obtained, noticed only Ihe
puny wounded, who tvus pacing buck-
ward and fiirwaitl befure the door
which action the constable had presumably construed to iiiea.ii that, be
was posted oulside liy the parlies
within, to keep witch while they carried out the robbery, At this point
the shooting commenced, the third
shot Inking effect in Mr, Hood's arm,
whereupon he shunted oul he was
wounded, and iiinvcd, togelher wilh
Lewis, who had been silling ou the
steps lllllioliced liy McMynn, to the
front, of the building and out of range
of the Ure,
Only when the lust shot in the r
velvet- chamber had been liretl, and
thecunslable found himself alone In a
seini-nude stale and freezing to death,
did he realize whal a dreadful mistake
bad been made. It, was however I
lale; lhat had been done whicli could
not he undone, lhe Innocent, had suffered.

DISMISSED.
The young mail, H. McKay of Grand
Furks, charged with baying stolen
money from Dr, Smith of lhe same
place, was again brought befure W.
H. Norris, J, P., un Saturday lust,
after the enquiry having been remanded froui the lllth insl., pending
turlher investigation, uud lo allow the
accused the opportunity uf procuring
witnesses, Nn further evidence being
adduced by the prosecution, the magistrate held that lliere was mil sufficient
evidence liefoie the court to directly
connect tlle accused with Ihe I heft,
and therefore declined to commit him
fur trial.
