EYE is BADLY INJURED
leslie Copeland Shot With a sun
flower Arrow

Leslie Copeland, the 13-year-old son Of
W. E. Copeland, a travelling man who re-
sides at 1014 South La wrence met with
painful INJURY yesterday, which may re-
suit in the loss of the sight in the left
eye.
In the afternoon large number of boys
around the neighborhood had been play
ing war and had been using bows and
arrows as weapons. They shot them at
each other when the opportunity pre-
scented itself and no one seemed to sus-
tain any serious injuries. Later in the
afternoon the boys commenced hiding
from one another and young Copeland
went into the barn and climbed up into
the upper part. AfES being there a
short time the boy concluded TO look out
and see what was going on. He opened
the door a short distance and placed his
head so that he could see out. Just by
the side of the barn was a boy with a
bow and arrows. The arrows We're made
of sundowers and were sharpened at the
ends. As soon as this boy saw young
Copeland he Immediately in his thoughts
of war proceeded to shoot at him. The
arrow flew from the bow and struck
young Copeland in the left eye. For a
time the lad was paralyzed With pain.
He was taken to the Office OF Dr. Dor
sey and the injured eye was given treat
ment.
The injury is a very severe one and
there may be serious danger resulting
from the wound.

OPENS BRANCH HOUSE
Milwaukee Harvester Co.
Comes to Wichita.
SEPTEMBER i is THE DATE
Mr.. H. [. Thiman Will Act
as General Agent.

A branch house Of the Milwaukee Har-
vester company will be opened up in this
city on September l. Business will be
commenced as soon after that date as
the necessary arrangements can be made.
This move on the part Of the harvester
company was the result Of an investiga-
ton of the possibilities of this city as a
jobbing center by representatives of the
company.
The Milwaukee Harvester company has
branch house in Kansas City. and the
Kansas and Oklahoma business has been
transacted from that point Owing to the
growing business and the distance from
The trade, il was decided to make the
change. The business Of the firm in the
southern country will be carried on from
this city and will add one more jobbing
house to Wichita's growing list
Mr.. H. L. Thieman, who has been a
member of the Harvester company's
travelling force, will be the general man
ager OF the house in this city. Mr.. THE
man will have entire control of the south
ern Kansas and Oklahoma business and
Will have supervision of the travelling
men who will visit the trade in this ter
ritory.
The Milwaukee people before deciding
to establish a branch house, looked over
the entire field in Kansas and Oklahoma
and finally determined to make Wichita
the selection. A complete line Of imple-
ments will be carried in the house here,
and as soon as the season opens up the
travelling men will be started out
1t was only a few years ago that Wich-
tia was not considered a wholesale town,
but a visit today to the wholesale houses
along the railroad tracks will convince
the sightseer that those days are past.
Implement houses have been establishing
branch houses in this city, and it is be-
cause that Wichita is the logical trade
center Of this territory.

sending out $1,000 gallons of water per
day, or go gallons for every consumer.
