What was very serious and GANG
near being a fatal accident to twe
lives occurred in the Levi store yester,
day afternoon. Drs. Frank and
Charles Ceiger and Dir. Franz Erwin
had started on a rabit hunt, and had
gone in the store of the late NJ. Levi
for something and placed their guns
where they would not be dangerous.
In the mean time the gun of DR..
Charles Geiger was a Winchester re:
peatins shot gun. which is perfectly
safe if not handled by parties who do
not understand them. Junlus Boyd,
colored. it seems. took the Wlnches-
ter gun and was fooling with it, when
he must have run shell out Of the
magazine into the barrel and acci-
dentally discharged it. Peter Man
ming, a negro boy about twenty years
old, was standing near and almost
the whole load entered his left arm,
Just above the elbow, shooting the
bone in two, almost severing the
whole arm from the body and driv-
ing the fesu from the arm against
the wall some ten feet away.
Mr.. Mitchell Jacobs was sitting by
the stove reading, and about twelve
of the shot, which were No. 7, struck
him in the left temple AID side of the
head, also one or two going through
the ear. Fortunately DR.. Geiger was
right there, and Drs. Brown, Brock
inton and Dickson were quickly got
ten, when Drs. Brown and Geiger
took charge of Mr.. Jacobs and Drs.
Brockinton and Dickson took the
boy in charge. The Doctors picked
eleven shot out of Mr.. Jacobs face
and head, and say they think only
one shot is left in, and that in s.
place where it will not prove dang
erous. Mr.. Jacobs wounds are OF
course very painful, but not danger
Gus to life, and his many friends
hope to see him out again in a few
DAYS. Had not the load entered the
boys arm before reaching Mr..
Jacobs his head would perhaps have
been almost blown off. Peter Man
nins's arm was so badly shot that
last night the doctors had to ampu-
tate it above the elbow, and he came
near dying under the operation after
the severe shock from the shooting.
1t was one of those unfortunate
things which are liable to happen at
any time, and only serves as warn
ing to people that they should never
pick up gun that does not belong
to them or that they know nothing
about. 1t is usually the empty guns
that do the damage.

one of them said to him:
"Guard, we have been discussing
