The Alva Republican says: About
two weeks ago Ed Dillon. whose claim
is about nine miles south OF Alva, left
for a visit in Kansas. He gave a nei-
ghbor friend, Calvin Rupe. charge of
his stock and other matters which in
Guided a dog. Said dog chewed his
rope off and went back TO Dfllons. Dill
Ion had told Rupe not to enter the
house by the doors so he went in at the
window TO get the dog. The dog ran
under the bed and Rupe in reaching
for the dog struck some sort of a trap
set by Dillon which discharged a load
Of shot into his right hand breaking
some bones and probably causing the
loss OF the use Of the third and fourth
fingers. Rupe got the dog but has not
been back to investigate further as he
says there may be whole arsenal set.
Parties absent from claims ought TO
post notices when their houses are load
