Richard Snider, aged about Is years,
son Of Mr.. Conrad Snider, residing
near this place, accidentally shot him
self in the hand on Saturday last. He
was in the act of handing a pistol to a
comrade for the purpose Of shooting a
rabbit, and it is thought that the weapon
by some means became cooked while it
was being taken from his pocket, and
was discharged by his fingers accident
ally coming in contact with the trigger.
The charge entered the inside of his
hand, making an ugly and serious
wound. DIR. J. J. Magruder. who was
summoned to render the young man the
necessary surgical and medical assist
ance, is Of opinion that he will recover
without the loss Of his hand.

Serious and Probably Fatal Accident.


About ten o'clock last night, as
freight train on the P, f. w. & G. X.
r., coming from the west, was at or
near Hamlet, few miles west OF this
city, Pat O'Brien, one Of the brake
men, undertook to turn down the
brake, when the machine broke loose
and let him down between the cars.
Both legs we're broken at the knees,
one of them having been run over by
the trucks, and the other may have
been broken by the fall. He was
brought to his fathers house, in this
city, where he now lies, waiting for
DIR. Myers, of Fort Wayne, to come
and amputate the limbs. DR.. N.
Sherman, OF this city, has seen the
the patient, and gives it as his opin-
ion that it will be necessary to am
putate both legs. O'Brien is per-
fectly conscious and refuses to have
anything done with his limbs until
DR.. Myers arrives. 1t is thought that
tee delay will have no bad effect; but
it is doubtful whether O,Brien has vi
tality enough to survive the shock to
the system which will be caused by
amputation. O'Brien left his fathers
house about the Goth Of March last.

Another Fire.

About ten o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the alarm of fire was given, and
the fire companies were all out in an
incredible short space Of time. The
fire was in J. H. Ryan's residence in
the south west part Of the city. The
alarm bell was not rung until the
house was so nearly consumed that
there was no possible chance OF saw
ing it. The neighbors in the imme-
diate vicinity had emptied part OF
the house Of it's contents, but all was
lost that was in the kitchen, cellar
and buttery. We could not learn the
loss. The building, a one story frame,
was worth probably $500. The furni-
ture was insured for 800 and the
building for 800 in the Royal Can
adam. We also beard that there was
four hundred dollars insurance on
house and furniture in some other
company.

Safe Breaking In Argos.

For some time past suspicious per-
sons, who manage to live well with
out work, have alternated between
Rochester and Argos, creating a sus-
picion that they were not making
their living in an honorable way; but
there was nothing to fix actual guilt
urally turns the attention Of honest
citizens to that class of men whenev-
er robbery or a burglary does take
place.
Last Sunday morning, about Is
minutes before two o'clock, Mrs.
Bucher, who lives next door to Hick-
mans drug store, was awakened by
noise and shaking. which she likened
unto an earthquake. She aroused her
son Marion, who has family, and
told him she thought some one had
broken into the drug store. He got
up and started for the store; but his
mother warned him not to 60 alone,
as the burglars might kill him; but
he kept on, and when about to go in
to the store, man outside, who had
been keeping watch, presented his
pistol at Mr.. Bucher and ordered him
to leave, or he would shoot him.
Bucher, being unarmed and alone,
followed the dictates OF reason end
got out OF the way. The man outside
then called to one inside to come out
as quick as possible, and he came,
well knowing that Bucher would soon
get assistance and make it too hot for
them. They ran west-one was a tall
man-the other short. On examin-
ing the premises it was found that
nothing had been taken from the
store but few cigars. The safe was
lying on its side, a short distance
from where it had stood, face down,
with the doors blown open; but in
such position that nothing could be
taken from the inside without first
raising it up, which was not an easy
matter as it weighed 1900 pounds.
1t was ascertained that the burg
lars had broken open tool house on
the l., p. & G. railroad, and stolen a
crow-bar. With that they had pried
open the store door. They had also
been in Fred. Waags' blacksmith shop
and taken some files and other tools
They had drilled a hole downward
through the side Of the safe and filed
