for care and treatment. About three
weeks ago he was hunting, when, in
crossing over log his gun was diseharg-

cheek, but most Of the load passing into
his right hand shattering il frightfully.
Pr Rich OF Yaquina, was sent Tor aRd
started, but received word that yodng
Gaten was dead, and returned home,
and the young man has Yaquina Bay
paper in his possession with the an
nouncement OF his death. He was not
dead, and after local attention DIR Rich
was secured and amputated the arm
above the wrist. The young man is
standing the ordeal bravely and will
probably come out all right, though he
look very pale and haggard now.
