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. rhfUCSMTlMMH UfAafi t One of the pretty features .of (he seasoa was tho marriage of Miss Myrtle .RttittqL- rv.Glen$tureeHf' --ucun'mr Wednesday evening, November ir, at 8 o'clock.

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.
