Shoots Sister by Mistake
A shooting took place at tho Brower
ranch, about six miles southwest of
tliis city, last Sunday morning at four
o'clock, when Charles Brovver shot
and dangerously wounded his sister,
Miss Edith Browcr.
The facts in the cane are as follows:
Charles Brower, who is residing at the
ranch since his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
L. N. Browcr, removed to Alliance, in
company with another young man
named Frank Augustine, employed on
the Lester ranch in the same neighbor
hood, came to town Saturday after
noon and remained during the evening
enjoying themselves at the skating
rink, shows and other places. Augus
tine met Browcr's sister and the two
were about town together. She is but
seventeen years old and it is said rath
cr childish in disposition, The brother
of the girl saw Augustine in company
with his sister, and this in itself was
not favorable. Augustine is about
thirty years of age and old enough to
know right from vJrong, (if he cares. )
During the night he and his companion
secured the rig lie drove to town in the
afternoon and went out to the Browcr
ranch, followed by the brother, who
was wild with rage over the impudence
of Augustine. It was along toward
morning when Browcr reached the
ranch and he found the two, so he
says, in his room. On being ordered
to leave, Augustine and the gitl went
to the barn, hitched up the horse and
started for town. Edith put on the
heavy duck coatot Augustine and this
was the cause of her being shot by her
brother instead of her companion. Just
as the two were ready to leave the
premises, Brower aimed at the duck
coat with a shot gau loaded with No. 4
shot and pulled the trigger. Edith,
with a groan, fell to (he ground. Au
gustine hurriedly picked her up and
placing her bleeding form in the buggy,
started for town. It 16 also said that
Browcr took a shot at Augustine but
missed his, aim, Then Augustiue, with
iiiaauiiuitu buui(o4ini wjr tun piuvi
burrie3 toAluance'to (lie home of her
parents, Where surgeons removed a
number of shot from the wound in her
back.
Sunday morning, Sheriff Wiker and
Marshal Laiug went out to the Browcr
ranch and arrested Charles Brower,
bringing him to the county jail, where
he and Augustine arc held till their
preliminary hearing before Judge, Berry
tomorrow morning.
For several days it was feared that
the result of the wound received by
Edith Brower would prove fatal but at
present the indications are favorable
for recovery.
District Court Adjourned
District Clerk Mounts received word
Monday that the December 7th term
of district court bos been adjourned to
January jo.
Ruth Craven and
Harry L. Beck Tonight
1
Beginuing tonight with the popular
play, "Bess of Idaho," a play of high
degree, the theatre-loving people of
the city will have an opportunity of
witnessing three entertainments well
worth attending. The stage reputa
tion of Miss Ruth Cravin and Mr.
Harry L. Beck are well founded and
need no exaltation from the press. The
, support given these leaders is strong
and effective. They will appear to
night, Friday and Saturday nights.
To Extend Their Lines
At last it appears that Alliance will
, soon be in touch with tbe outer world,
that is, long-distance telephone. Rep
resentatives of the Bell system, Messrs.
W. T. Belt, general manager, and K.
S. Kelley, superintendent) were here
the first of the week consulting with
Manager Bowman of the local tele
phone system and our business men
with the view to making connections
with our present lines. This is' fine
business and now that prosperity is as
sured The Herald hopes to see this
necessary improvement put through
without delay. It means that Alliance
can then call up Chicago to tho cast or
our Mormon friends at Salt Lake City
in the west. We will be in touch with
the wholo Guernsey country and the
south generally. The Spade ranch
people haye a line east and Mr. Coin
stock saa ho will' assist in getting in
touch witi the Bell. By way of Craw
ford, we will reach the Black Hills
country, and hence have connection in
every direction. We see no reason
why the promoters of the telephone
can't go right ahead with the scheme
for there is no doubt it will mean 11
great iacrcase in their revenues.
Another Fort Morgan
Horse Thief Arrested
If there is anything that onr sister
city in Colorado can hold the banner in
it is the number of horse thieves she
harbors. Fort Morgan has the reputa
tion of nibre criminals of this nature
than any place in the state. Of course
we all know that horse stealing and
cattle rustling has been a social past
time in the west for mauy years or
ever since there has been a west yet it
has spots where this sort of criminal
procedure exceeds others. The latest
refugee from Fort Morgan to be taken
in by Sheriff Wiker was a strump of a
lad hardly 20 years old, giving the
name of Howard Albee, arrested last
Sunday on receipt of a telegram from
the Colorado sheriff who followed Albee
to Bridgport. The lad had plenty
of coin and was enjoying himself on
money received on certificates of
deposits ,secured by his mother and
transferred to him. The prisoner was
taken to Bridgeport Monday morning
by Cytus Clapp and turned over to the
sheriff who had a warrant accusing him
of horse stealing.

Death of Mrs. Geo. Mollring
Tho hand of death has agaiu reached
out in our midst aud another well
known and popular soul has responded
to the last catl. Mrs. Geo. Mollring,
whose illness was known by but a few,
passed away at her home in the first
ward last Friday afternoon at 2:30.
Slio has been ill for some time and
while her condition was not considered
serious, a sudden chango Friday fore
noon caused her husband to call in
several physician?, who held a consul
tation which gave no hope whatever
for the patient, who sank rapidly aud
died within a few hours.
Mrs. Mollring was twcntysix years
old and shortly after marriage came to
this citv to reside. Her maiden name
was Frances Murrin, and she was
bom in Deadwood, where she resided
until a few yearB ago. For several
years she devoted her time to educa
tional work, having taught in Sheridan,
Newcastle and other places. She was
married to Mr. Geo. Mollring, June g,
igo6, when they came to Alliance and
Mr. Mollring assumed control of the
dry goods establishment under his
name.
Deceased was an accomplished lady
and possessed a most pleasant disposi
tion that surrouuded her on all sides
by many warm friends. She was the
picture of ruddy health, and to think
that such a flower of womanly per
fection should blight so suddenly is to
be regretted. Nature scctnhd to lavish
its greatest efforts in her physical
make-up, but the cud of all things ma
terial in death. Like the last rose of
summer, whose fragrant blossom is
chilled by the breath of the death frost.
The funeral occurred last Sunday
afternoon from the home and was con
ducted by Rev. Frederick Graves of
the Episcopal church. Besides the
relatives there were many friends pres
ent to listen to the words uttered by
the minister and to view for the last
time the features of their beloved friend
soon to be consigned to the cold em
braces of mother earthy Flowere were
many ar tner'ieras ioKenaoi menu
ship and condolence, Although tbe
day was cold and bleak, many joined
in the sorrowful journey to the grave
in Greenwood cemetery, where the re
mains Were laid to await the final sum
mons.
Among relatives and friends present
from out of town were the following:
Tom Murrin, her brother, manager of
the Homestake store at Lead City;
Mrs. Fred Stcbbins, sister, of Spear
fish; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Nelson,
the latter her sister, of Sheridan; Clem
Mollring, of Newcastle; Mrs. Heibert
Hawes, a friend from Chicago.
