While a number of Wahoo boys were
out hunting the other day one of their guns
was accidentally discharged, and the whole
charge struck Elmer Stone, who was walk
ing just behind, in the muscles of the right
arm, tearing away the muscles, arteries and
nerves entirely, leaving the bone perfectly
bare. As soon as the accident occurred one
of the boys removed Elmer's coat and tied
u handkerchief around the arm above the
wound sufficiently tight to stop the flow of
blood. The wounded lad was taken home,

the back part Of the arm to save the arm,

use of the thumb and forefnger of that
hand, and scarcely no use of all of the arm,
as the muscles, cords and nerves were nearly
all shot away. ..r...-,.r
