SEVERE AccmENr.-At about nine
O'Clock yesterday morning Lieut.. Dan
Lyons, OF the Emmett Guard, while
engaged In target practice, met with a
most unfortunate accident. His gun,
which had Just been reloaded. was &C.
cidentally discharged, the ball passing
downward through the central portion
Of the arch bone Of his left foot, and
fracturing 1t badly. There was a pro-
fuse hemorrhage from the wound,
which was eventually checked BY DR..
Green, who was called to attend him.
A consultation Of physicians was held
to-day to determine whether amputa-
ton should be resorted to. We are
not advised In regard to the result Of
their deliberations. The accident was
a peculiarly unfortunate one for Lieut..
Lyons, owing to the fact that he was
by profession a teacher OF dancing.

esteem by a large circle Of ncquaint-
ances, all Of whom will sympathize
with him in his sad misfortune.
