SHOT FOR TURKEy-Mr. Abram Shaffer,
well-known and respected citizen of West
Providence township. met with very pain
ful and almost fatal accident one day last
week. 1t appears from what we could
gather about the unfortunate affair. that one
Crawford was out hunting wild turkeys. A
flock was discovered and scattered by his
dog. He then went through the woods
calling the turkeys, in order to get shot at
one of them. Mr.. Shaffer's attention was
called TO the birds he got his gun, secreted
himself behind q log, and began TO call too
Crawford advanced very near to ShaGer's
hiding place, creeping along on hands and
knees, when Shafer making the noise OF
turkey and raising his head slightly above
the log was seen by Crawford, who. thinking
be saw one of the turkeys, fired. Six shot
struck him in the face and neck. one in the
forehead, penetrating the outer bone Of the
skull, two above the left eye and one above
the right eye. one in the mouth and tongue
and one IN front of the right ear DR.. +. J.
Miller was called, and took thesone out of
his forehead. Ii was fisitened out like a
three-cent piece. Fortunately none of
the shots are serious.-Ererott Press
