Another man has been shot without
knowing how it happened. The Statesman
says: Sunday w w Nichols, who lives just
this side Of Howell prairie in the timber,
near Dick Swarts' mill, accidentally dis
charged gun he was handling and as re-
suit lost his right hand. Mr.. Nichols had
been hunting and was standing talking with
some friends. He held the loaded shotgun
in his hands and by some means the weapon
was discharged. He does not know how it
but 1T is supposed he may have
touched the trigger with his foot, or that
a stick may have touched 1t. The shot
struck him in the right hand, shattering
the wrist. 1t also filed his arm and the
right side of his face with shot. His right
