Charlie Vickers, son of Riley Wick

of his eyes last Sunday. He in CON-

surrounded a brush-heap, in which
they had found some birds, and as the
birds would fly out they would shoot
at them. An arrow missed its mark
and struck young Vickers in the eye,
penetrating the ball, and in endeavor-
lug to extrlcate the arrow he pulled
the ball out. This is a sad misfcr-
tune and we sympathize deeply with
the young man,

of the Market dock, which was en-
tirely destroyed, together with its con-
tents, cotton, merchandise and

save it. Next adjoining the granary
was a small saloon which the firemen.

tiIe, dismantsed and tore down, there
by helping to save the next building.
