NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

A Little Seven Year Old Boy Shoots His
Three-Year- Old Sister.
Maggie Cox, three-yesr. old daughter Of
Mr.. Wills Cox, of Twenty fourth street, mar
rowly escaped death at the hands OF Johnnie
her seven-yearold brother. The circum.
stances are these. William, sixteen.year-
old souof Mr.. Cox had been down to the
river shooting at a mark for amusement
and returning, threw down his coat contain.
ing twenty two calihre revolver.
Johnnie and his sister, Maggie were play
ing around the room and the little fellow
discovered the revolver, and not being
aware that it was dangerous, but thinking
it was a toy pistol, pulled back the hammer
and pointing it at his sister, he
pulled the trigger. The ball
struck Maggie the right cheek bone about
an inch below the temple. The wound, al.
though not an ugly one caused the blood to
flow in profusion, and the child shortly be.
gan expectorating blood at an alarming
rate. DR.. Billiard was called and rendered
he necessary surgical aid. The child also
vomited good deal of blood, and it is fear
ed that the ball glanced off the cheek bone
and down her throat, as it could not be
Iound any place.
The bullet was very small one, aud
striking where it did, no doubt prevented
he wound from being fatal, although the
case is quite serious yet, and what internal
injury has been done cannot yet be discov.
cred. Johnnie, when he found what he
lone, cried bitterly and it was long time
before he could be sppeased.

OVER II TWICE..
The Joiat Commission conpIstss
The County Line.
The Old Landmarks Almost 0bliterated--.
Iron Monuments to Be Erected
---The Difficulties En-
countered.

Last evening the members of the Joint
commission from this county and Marshall
who, for the past two weeks have been en-
gagged in surveying the county line between
this county and that of Marshall, completed
their labors. The commission has had
many difficulties to contend with, but have
surmounted them all, and have done their
work faithfully and well. The surveyor Of
the party, Mr.. Walter Peterson, first, under
the supervision Of the members, ran an ex.
perimental line from the stone which makes
the intersection of the county boundary with
the river, at Forty eighth street, eastward to
the Pennsylvania line. En- route little or
no trace of
THE ORIGINAL SURVEY,
made in 1888, could not be found, aud the
records had to be depended on in good part
When this experiment line was completed,
a new difficulty presented ITSELF Accord.
ing to the record Of the original survey the
line was to commence, from the point of in
tersection with Pennsylvania, at point
sixtysix rods and fraction north of the
boundary of West Union. The problem
was to find the limits Of that town, and for
time 1t looked as il a survey Of the entire
place would be necessary. Finally, how
ever, point was fixed upon as being at
most but few feet from the place Of inter.
section with the Pennsylvania line and
after the necessary trignometrical cslcula.
ton had been made the party started west
ward for the river for
THE FINAL SURVEY,
which was reached yesterday, as above
stated.
Mr.. W. f. Peterson, who is the President
Of the commission, says it is useless to erect
stone monuments along the line, as they are
100 easily defaced by mischievous persons
or the elements, and says it is very proba-
bly, cast iron marks, with "Ohio county" on
he north side and Marshall county" on
the south, will be put up at suitable inter
walls. He says the new stone monument
lately erected by the interstate commission,
near the town Of West Union, has already
been defaced by boys, and one stone has been
entirely removed by some unknown person.
The work is this time being done thorough
y, and if iron monuments are erected they
will last for a century or more.
