\ Horrible Story of a Fnrnicr to a Utah

SALT Hisn , Utah , Oct. 21. [ Special Tele
gram to Tins BISK.A | special from Pay-
son , Utnli , says : A tcrrlblo tragedy resulted
in the death of John llolton , who accidentally
killed himself while going horseback from
Payson to Salem. In tbo middle of tlio fore
noon bo left town to visit his sister in Salem ,
taking with him a double-barreled shotgun ,
J with which ho shot himself. The particulars
catno out In the coroner's Inquest as follows :
James Husil tostincd that ho was going to
hi& Hold with his sons Thomas uns Karl. On
the way , about ono and n half miles east of
town , ho saw a boy on u horse coming for
ward. Karl said : "Father , there is Johnny
Bolton , nnd hisnoso Is bleeding , "
"I Jumped out of the wagon and ran up
nnd was liorrillcd to discover Johnny with
half tbo right side of his head blown off. Ho
was sitting in the saddle , leaning his head
ovcrtno horse's neck , 1 turned away horrified.
The sight was terrible. Apparently the borso
had not moved slnco tlio gun exploded , lie-
twcen his feet hiya portion of the boy's
brains. That portion of the face nnd head
ranging from below tlio right cheek to the
crown of the head nnd between the right eye
and car was entirely blown olT. It was a
Khn.itlv spoctublo. I found brains nnd pieces
of Bliuil na far off us fifteen feet in different
dlrectloiiB. Ills hut was blown to pieces.
Ofllccr lllngham und Dr. Shores eamo
and took Johnny oft the horse with I
Homo dinlcuity us lib Itnrcs clumped the bad-
die , probably on account of paralysis.
From other evidences It is concluded that
Johnny 11 red a shot Just before crossing the
canal and then at tempted to reload , as was
his custom , in the saddle , putting the gun
hammers on his toes. Ono of the hummers
" was defective , mid , In some way , must have
caught on the stirrups and discharged the
K\in , The boy was fifteen years old anil the
only son of an aged father.

WASHINGTON' , 1) ) , C. , Oct. 2
Attorney General LccsO hns filed a bill in
the supreme court to determine tbo boundary
line between the stales ofNobraskannd Iowa ,
The question disputable was occasioned , the
bill recites , by the shifting of the bed and
channel of the Missouri river. Tbodocument
on Illo with the clerk of the supreme court
contains uliiu pages of judiciary iirlnt and is
occupied lu the beginning by a description of
the well known olcl boundary lluo recognized
by congress when Iowa In 1840 was admitted
to the union of states and which is found In
the law of the United States , revised stat
utes , containing the Iowa admission bill ,
Then follows a recitation of the history of
the work In the United states land oflbo to
mark tlio boundary lines , done in 1851 , and
which Is a matter of record inthooflico
of the state's ' attorney general and the
surveyor. Tto boundary line recognized
by congress when Nebraska was admitted to
statehood In 1607 Is then recited. There is
given a statement of the changes of the
course of the current , bed und channel of the
Missouri river which have occurred since
1S.1Iwhen they begun. A very mliiuto de
scription of the changes of the river along
and in sections 1ft , 1" , SI , 21,1 , JHand28 in
Iowa 13 inadoiiiiil It is alleged that they have ,
under tlio boundary lines now recognized by
the United States , given the state of Ne
braska jurisdiction over a port of them , and
tbo supreme court Is asked to grant
tbeuDlltd writ of subpoena commanding the
state of Iowa to appear before this court and
answer the premises nnd stand to perform
aiul nbldo such order and decree at to this
court ns shall bo meet and eipjltiible. There
is full and familiar reference mnJo to the
welt known questions of jurisdiction and dis
putes which have for years arisen between
the two states on the points named and the
court Is reminded that the lands In dispute
"aro adjacent to thoclty of Omaha and vari
ous largo industries are bcingestrtblisheJ and
built thereon , over which each state claims
jurisdiction. "
The object of the proceedings , the attorney
general states through the bill , which was
tiled by his representatives. , r. M. Woolworth -
worth and C. ,1. Green , counsel , is to forever
settle tbo right of jurisdiction by determin
ing the present boundary lines. Thcro will
not likely bo further proceedings under some

l'AUMiil9 NCKI ) XOT1IE AtAKMED.
There Is no real cause for nn.v agitation
among the fanners and other purchasers of
manufactured goods over what appears to bean
an apparent increase of prices us the result
of the adoption of the MoICinloy tariff bill.
Investigation by treasury oflldals and others
in Now York , Philadelphia , Boston and other
great importing cities reveal the fact that nil
of the agitation about an Increase of prices is
the work of importers , 80 per cent of whom
are British subjects and consequently demo
crats , aud 15 percent of the American , citi-
therofor selfish motives in tbo circulation of
reports of manufacturers having advanced
the prices of their goods incident
to the adoption of the McKlnley
tariff law. British free traders have
bcea busy in some of 'their great
eastern importing centers during the past six
weeks bulling the markets for manufactured
goods , and especially everything that is im
ported , their object being to prejudice the
voter at the approaching elections against
the McKlnley law. If tno prices have ad
vanced for any cause whatever uiwii articles
which go into common us'o they will go back
to the old prices in less than sixty days attei
the election. Ono of tbo lending features ol
the democratic campaign this full has boon
this direct movement ngainst the authors of
the McKlnley tariff law through im
porters nnd American free traders. A
special howl has been made upon It in Ne
braska nnd some of the other northwestern
states by democrats as to the result of the
McKhilcy law , nnd direful predictions have
been made freely by them , and la a few in
stances they have been able to apparently
show that prices bavo been advanced upoi
imported articles upon which a Jiigticrrati
of tariff Is llxed by tlio McKiuloy bill. Oi
the other hand , thcso same men will have
difficulty to see how it is that tlio Chicago
lumber dealers yesterday determined on
nn advance in the prlco of lumber
notwithstanding the fact that the Me-
Kinloy bill reduces the tax on till
article to the extent of M per cent , and tha
in dolii , " It served to stimulate the Canadians
in removing entirely the export duty on logs
which of course has been paid by the Anierl
can consumers if the ideas of the old tariff
advocates urn well founded.

anil the Immediate appropriation by congress
of (1,000,000 ( , for the purchase of n quantity of
nickel with which to alloy nickel steel has
hail the effect of stimulating thu nickel mar
ket to na unusual dezreo. The navy depart
ment had hardly begun to Inquire into tlio
amountof nickel on the market before It was
found that the results of tbo tests had been
seized upon abroad with remarkable celerity
and that there was to bo keen competition In
the market , already noted for vigorous and
steady demand , fa- addition there was ft
rumor of "corners" that were discomforting
to the oflldals , who expected to get
nn adequate supply ftf metal ' at
lair prices , AH of the nickel
used hero has boon produced abroad , Canada
belnp the nearest source of supply. From
information coming in nn unofficial way to
iho department it npjicars , however , that
there is a probability that tbo metal exists in
this country In considerable quantities. It Is
asserted thut mines of great value exist in
Virginia , iilthoutrh for obvious reasons tbo
persons making tlio assertion refuse to def
initely give their locality. One company Is
organizing to develop these mines , so the
navy department ofllccrs nro hopeful that
any comlderablo enhancement of the market
price of nickel will bo met aud counteracted
by the increased gupply from domestic

THE lkn.1 The lust circular Issued by
Chairman Falthorn bo fora severing hts con
nection with the Western Freight nssoclu-
tlou embodies the most gUiuitlc boycott ever
known , Tlia circular was Issued toclny under
instructions from thu AVwtorn Freight asso
ciation and annuls prorating arrangements
on the part of every association roiul with
the Union 1'iicilli1. This applies even to
local and non-eonipetlvo points on the Union
1'aclilc. Tlio Northwestern road mndo a
mild protest over the issuance of the circular
hut It nlono now prorates with the Union
Pacific under their famous traffic agreement.
The objection was not eomlduroil. In the
future every article of freight doltvoicd by
nuy western road except the Northwestern
to the Union Pacific , will take full local
rules from point of origin to destination.
'Through rates are absolutely wiped
out except via the Northwestern.
The consequence \vlll \ bo tliut the North-
xvcstorn will tnko practically all business
from Chliago and the east , destined to Union
Pacific local points to competitive pints such
as Denver and Colorado points , Helena and
.Montana points nnil all I'aclllc coast points.
AH trnfllo will bo diverted froai the Union
1'aelflu to competitive points. The programme
won llnally arranged today. All lines In in
terest have Missouri river and St. 1'aul ter-
iiuni or connections. To Denver and Colorado
rado points all traftlc will bo turned over to
the Hock Island or Hurllngton. To
Helena and Montana points the tr.ifllc
will bo taken to St. Paul and given to the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern , To
northwestern coast points the Northern 1'n-
cllle will'Ret It all. To California , ami south
ern points the traftic will ho diverted to the
.Atchison , Missouri Paclllo and Southern 1'n-
cilic. The boycott originated from an at
tempt of the Union Paellle to compel the pay
ment of high proportions for its conncctlnR1
lilies. The competing through lines took ad
vantage of the situation and the result has
shown how perfectly surrounded the Union
Pacific is. The feeling Is so Intense that It is
altogether likely that passenger business will
ho likewise diverted. General 1'asscngor
Agent I'oo of the Northern I'aclllo was In
Chicago today and did aot deny that he had
succeeded to a largo extent in Influencing the
Chicago lines to route their passenger * with
