which question is the cause of anoth-
or newspaper answering:

ris probably meant nothing more
than an exit from this world into
nowhere"

few days ago he discovered that
some miscreant had pried open The
covering and completely filled the
well with small stones, thus render
ing it useless and nscsssitating the
boring of a new one. The author of

Samuel Foose Of Centre
township, few days ago narrowly
escaped fatally shooting himself. He
lives on the Robert A. Moore farm.
on which is dam lying in front OF
the house. Desiring to shoot a musk
rat, Foose took his stand and placed
one foot on an old root, with the gun
at his side, the butt resting on the
ground. The root broke and the
strap on his boot caught the hammer
pulling it to full cock and then slip
ping off causing the gun to discharge.
The load passed by Foose's right
cheek, filing it with powder and
knocked his hat off, shooting away
the rim. He WAS rendered uncon-
scious for some time by the concus-
sion, but otherwise with the above
exception, escaped uninjured.
